When the Wheels Come Off

Brian Cunninghams popular first book, Under the Bonnet, was a colourful and humorous collection of memories of his time as a car mechanic in the 1970s and 80s. When he wrote it, he was sure he had put everything of interest down, but it turns out there were quite a few escapades hed forgotten to mention. Time, then, for part two . . . When the Wheels Come Off is a joyous return, covering what he missed first time round: cars fixed and some broken, fads and crazes, crashes and scrapes and near misses, evolutionary dead-ends in technology, underhanded practices and downright skulduggery, run-ins with management, the tools used, the cars stolen and scrapyards visited. A lively and engaging trip back to the workshop.
