Alfa Mail (eBook, ePUB)

Open letters from a part-time petrol head

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Comprising 20 'open letters from a part-time petrolhead,' Alfa Mail looks at much more than the Alfa Romeo marque. Cars, aircraft, motorcycles - even tractors - feature in this irreverently personal view of internal combustion, 'the great enabler,' for better or worse. Or maybe just for fun. This book goes beyond the normal car book format, exploring what made Alfa special, and questioning the future of the marque is important or relevant in today's world.

Autorenporträt

Justin Allison grew up in Dorset among cars, planes, motorbikes and tractors - as well as guns and horses. Leaving a local public school at 16, he spent his Old Boys membership fee on a well-used Triumph Tiger 110, a motorcycle 99% as fast - and 45% as stable - as a Bonneville. His varied background has seen him study architecture, service electric milk floats, work in a scrapyard, and rebuild a 1934 AC Roadster.
Joining a famous London advertising agency in 1970, Justin has won several awards, both as a freelance copywriter and as a creative director. His writing covers journalism, for publications such as Alfa Romeo Driver, poetry, for which he has been commended by the Thomas Hardy Society, and limited-edition art books, such as Relatively Virginal.
