So as a little present to myself for working so many hours recently (of course with my pennies going into savings!) I finally bought Driving Ambition, which is the story of the McLaren F1. It's fairly sought-after so prices are a bit silly but I managed to find one for a decent price because it was missing its (rubbish) dust jacket.
Anyhoo, I've wanted it for a while as I'm fascinated by the car. I have not been disappointed. It's a terrific, very interesting book and has some wonderful photos including Gordon Murray's beautiful drawings and notes/memos etc. It makes you understand the ethos behind the car and it all feels strangely intimate, as if you've been secretly let inside an enclave!
Totally recommended to anyone with a blood type of 103 RON.
