And the Revs Keep Rising: Great Drives in Fast Cars - Tapa dura

Describing in November 2010 the influence of Mel Nichols on motoring writing, Jeremy Clarkson said: 'I still think his story about driving three Lamborghinis from Italy is the best-ever drive story...I'm trying to do stuff like that now, only on television.' This book is a collection of Nichols' best writings, mostly covering supercars of the 1970s and 1980s, and mostly published in Car magazine at the time when, under Nichols' leadership, it was regarded by the industry and enthusiasts as the best motoring magazine in the world. All car fans will enjoy the 50 stories in this book for their panache and nostalgia.

Mel Nichols is one of the world's most influential car magazine writers and editors. In his early career in his native Australia he was Deputy Editor of Wheels, the country's top car magazine, and Editor of Sports Car World. He moved to London to become Editor of Car from 1974 to 1981, and from 1987 to 2009 he was Editorial Director of Haymarket Consumer Media, responsible for leading car magazines such as Autocar, What Car?, Classic & Sports Car and Autosport. Nowadays he is a visiting lecturer in magazine journalism at several universities.
