Richard Porter, aka Sniff Petrol, was a script writer for Top Gear and has written for various motoring publications. This is a collection of his columns for Evo magazine.
It's a book to dip in and out of with most sections being a three or four minute read. The nature of these columns is such that some work better than others and some haven't dated well. Nevertheless Porter is an engaging companion through car-related matters and if that's something you're at all interested in you'll find something to enjoy here.
