I'll be on a plane in three weeks time and will be sitting for 8 hours, I'm looking at reading a good car book that's Holden based . What is out there ? I have read Holden vs fords and the latest mags that are out so I thought someone could make a suggestion. Cheers

GOLDEN MILES by Clinton walker. Excellent book and has great rock n roll tie-ins as well. "Golden Miles is a book about cars, people and Australia in the late 60s and early 70s. With the energy and irreverent humour of a fanzine, the acuity of investigative journalism, and the eye of an art book, this new, expanded edition of Golden Miles explores the archetypal product of Australian suburbia - the muscle car. Clinton Walker is the author of seven books and several hit documentaries including the 2001 series on the history of Australian rock, Long Way to the Top. '...absorbing and enlightening.' - Judy Herbert the Advocate 'A rambling journey that's provocative and lavishly illustrated ...as much for pop culture lovers as rev heads." - Sydney Morning Herald. Here it is on ebay - http://www.ebay.com.au/i...ks_2&hash=item2320c77ca0Edited by user Tuesday, 21 August 2012 9:47:02 PM(UTC)

Fiv Antoniou's "History of the Holden V8" got me through the evenings of a working week when I was staying up the bush with no internet around 5-6 years ago.
Terry's "60 Years of Holden" will also keep you entertained for hours.
I've recently read John Wright's "My other wife is a car" which I found good too, but some people don't like his writing style. |
Cheers,
Mick
