When the Wheels Come Off: More Confessions of a 1970S & '80S Car Mechanic
Synopsis
Brian Cunningham's popular first book, *Under the Bonnet***, was a colourful and humorous collection of memories of his time as a car mechanic in the 1970s and '80s.** When he wrote it, he was sure he had put everything of interest down, but it turns out there were quite a few escapades he'd forgotten to mention. Time, then, for part two . . .
When the Wheels Come Off is a joyous return, covering what he missed first time round: cars fixed and some broken, fads and crazes, crashes and scrapes and near misses, evolutionary dead-ends in technology, underhanded practices and downright skulduggery, run-ins with management, the tools used, the cars 'stolen' and scrapyards visited. A lively and engaging trip back to the workshop.
