This book opens with very kind words from one of Colin's biggest ravels. This is a great insite to one of scotlands best undervalued sportsman. In some ways he likes it that way, when he is out of the car and with his young family. It gives a real feel to the sport than the tv can't. it talks a bit about his school life and how he still lives where he was brought up even though he says it dose cost him a lot of mony to have such prialage to have a home in SCOTLAND he would not have it any other way ...

This book is more like a quickly scribbled diary than an in-depth look at a hugely popular sport and driver.

It's an easy read but that's because there's nothing much in it and annoyingly finishes before the end of an exciting season, ... Read More

Untill you read this book you will never realise and appreciate how much hard work ... Read More

Despite its title this book gives the reader a poor insight into one of the world's greatest rally drivers. Its more of a diary that an autobiography and leaves you wanting more. Its quick and easy to read - but that's because there is little to think about on the way!
