TOTAL WHEELSPIN is a boot full of obscure facts, bizarre anecdotes and vehicular folly that will have car lovers laughing out loud. A follow up to the bestselling LEMON, EXTRA LEMON and TOTAL LEMONS by the very funny Tony Davis.
tOtAL WHEELSPIN should come with a READING tHIS IS ADDICtIVE. Whether debating the pros and cons of the chosen transport of superheroes, musing on why people (well, men) hang their arms out the car window, revealing the third-bestselling car of all time, or comparing the school run to taking on Vettel and Alonso in the Formula One Grand Prix, each part is so compelling you simply will not be able to stop turning the pages until you reach the end. And you will not be able to stop yourself laughing out loud at the obscure facts, bizarre anecdotes, and vehicular follies of the motoring world as seen through the eyes of the very funny tony Davis.
Tony Davis is widely blamed for LEMON! 60 HEROIC FAILURES OF MOTORING, an Australian bestseller that was published in US and UK editions – and which has been adapted into the hit book for kids, YOU MUST BE SKIDDING! He is also responsible for the eccentric literary memoir F. SCOTT, ERNEST AND ME, plus the new children’s series ROLAND WRIGHT, FUTURE KNIGHT.
Before courageously leaving a well-paid job to be a full-time author (at the end of 2005), Tony had a long and successful career in newspapers, magazines and publishing. He has worked at THE AUSTRALIAN and THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, has held senior editing and news roles, and has written extensively about popular culture, history, motoring, television and a myriad of other subjects.
Tony lives in northern Sydney with his wife Carolyn and their three sons, William, James and Daniel.
