Variable Valve Timings - Memoirs of a car tragic

Tyre destruction, power slides and continuous drooling Chris Harris has driven more cars than most people could ever dream of. His vast knowledge is legendary. He calls it ''unhinged geekery''. But we call it infectious enthusiasm, adrenaline-fueled escapism and peerless journalistic rigour and integrity. And then there are his famous skills at the wheel, from city cars to rally cars, F1 to vintage, not forgetting the Guinness World Record 3.4km sideways in an electric car. And now for the first time, Harris is going all out with that unhinged geekery, and takes us down the road of his life-long adventure with the automobile - from the Scalextric track to the Nurburgring 24 Hour, via his own formative low-powered Somerset version of The Dukes of Hazard . A highly individual, petrol-soaked life story that''s all down to variable valve timings.
