Lovely. Will do. Gonna get organised with a guest list etc shortly.

Book now published! Should appear on Amazon in the next 72 hours and I’ll post a link here then. Phew.

Well done. I'd imagine the process of getting a book out is hard anyway, let alone when its not a full time job. Looking forward to getting my copy.

Going to aim to be there for Rustival. As His Majesty's Government has decided I can't go to The Great British Car Journey in October as they have called me in for Jury Duty.....unless I can get excuses/deferred. (Self-employed sole earner for the family, taking 10 days off will not work!)

Too late for my holiday as I come home today.

However me and her are getting off to Gran Canaria for a long weekend in Oct for our anniversary (no kids on this one, all the fun) so begrudgingly i will purchase a copy and give you a second chance.

Don't be so tardy next time 🤣

Boughted! 👍

By the way, is there a reason the Amazon listing says "reading age 10-18", or is that just Amazon's  usual spurious nonsense?

Any chance I can buy a copy direct from you at the event? (avoids using Amazon)

I don't much like Amazon either. The book is still printed by them (in the UK for what it's worth) even if you order from me though. If you're in Northants did you want to come along to the book signing event at The Splined Hub in Oundle? Thursday 25th September, from 4-6pm. Free entry and good fun.  You can buy a copy from me directly then and I can sign it if you want. :)

Ordered!  Will be taking a few flights for work in the next two months so will save for reading on those.

That was my plan if possible, along with a copy of "The Weasel" as well?

Ordered!

Looking forward to this touching down; I've a week's leave booked from Friday and this'll be perfect reading for a spot of relaxation.

Thank you. I would have loved to slip a Samuel Pepys Rover breakdown story in there but I’m not as clever as you, chap 👍🏻

Let me know when there is a link to buy it, having an interest in socialism,communism,unions,and crap British cars this will be a great read :-)

No Sir. No Kindle.

Ordered just now as I don’t think I’ll make Rustival.

Thanks so much. I hope you enjoy it.

PS - There are other events at other locations where it’s just me talking bollocks, probably you saw that. Thanks again for buying my book!
