Wow, off work one day and miss a whole "thread" (yes, I remember
somebody hates that term). I haven't read "The Red Car" but the book
that got me interested was "The Bucket of Thunderbolts". Read it at
summer camp back when I was 9 or 10. About a kid (weren't they always)
who gets a clapped out TR4 and fixes it up then races it all summer. A
simple little book but entertaining. I still have it somewhere in my
"piles of stuff". Danny, I don't know what book you're describing but
"overturned bathtub" may refer to a Porsche Speedster.

Interesting to see all the folks who read The Red Car. Others
might
include Crash Club. Others that don't come to mind immediately
but
that are out there. I read all the books that had anything to
do
with cars. Wasn't there a book that described a car that
resembled
what had to be a Corvair (overturned bathtub?) that turned out
to
be...special?
