If you're looking for a gift for that special MG person on your list, check
this out:
They Started in MGs: Profiles of Sports Car Racers of the 1950s, by Carl
Goodwin. Each of the 80 drivers--from Carroll Shelby and Phil Hill to ones
we've never heard of--has a 1-5 page bio (done almost entirely from
first-person interviews), but it's the nearly 300 b&w photos that are the real
treasure. Steve McQueen in his TC--Bill Milliken in the Bugatti--Denver
Cornett and his TC just after it rolled into the creek at The Glen.... It's a
fascinating look at a simpler--and crazier--time.
Details at: www.McFarlandpub.com. They ship promptly -- I ordered mine on a
Monday and it arrived that Friday. Dick Knudson is supposed to be doing a
review of it for his TSO column.
