I received a copy of this book for my 4th or 5th birthday, I poured over it religiously and fell in love with anything with wheels. This gave way to telling my neighbor who bought a brand new '89 Jaguar XJ6 with a British Racing Green exterior and a cream interior, "I'm going to own one someday."
Well I bought the entire series of the book, I feel a bit accomplished in doing so. Now on to the Jag, preferably BRG and with a LSx swap for reliability and horsepower.
What got you into car culture?
