Rich, I've just messaged nosbigkin for the book, just to let you know.

I haven't done much reading for ages and starting again. Also like crime stuff, Mark Billingham's stuff with Tom Thorne is my current read list.

I like the idea of a book rotation service though, a lazy person's library!

 

Can I put myself forward for next in this library scheme Ghosty?

The Journey That Never Was...in A 1959 Mini

I found this book an amazing story and a journey that few people today with little mechanical knowledge, would be brave enough to undertake even in a modern 4wd off-road vehicle more suited to the roads and hostile conditions encountered, never mind in an early classic Mini which at the time few overseas mechanics had any spares or experience in repairing!

No worries! Hope you enjoy. I don't keep many books these days - only the favourites, so they all end up at the charity shop but I thought that one was worth sharing.
