Reviews / Votes
"Named after his exasperated plea from the infamous onboard footage of his RAC Rally effort with Derek Bell, Mike Nicholson's book delivers a wealth of anecdotes from the era when rallies were rallies and men were men. If you've got a bobble hat you'll enjoy this!!" AUTOSPORT MAGAZINE "It was in the Astra that an exasperated Nicholson uttered the phrase that would become the book's title when Derek Bell slid the car into a fence after ignoring a pace note. The brief row was picked up by the in-car cameras and ended up being broadcast on 'Auntie's Sporting Bloomers'. The book is littered with amusing insights into the highs and lows of the rally scene during some of its most iconic years and is a worthy addition to any motorsport fan's library."
