Drives A Bit Funny

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

For every car tragic out there - this is the one laugh-out-loud book you'll want to read this year...
Australia's favourite motoring journalist, Stephen Corby is our Jeremy Clarkson - just a bit younger, funnier and less pompous. Drives a Bit Funny is part-memoir, part stories from a car-obsessive. It's a collection of hilarious, self-deprecating, poignant and heartwarming stories that cover Stephen's life in cars: from the battered Land Rover that his grandfather taught him to drive in to the humble Holden Astra he had to buy when his first kid came along; to the car crashes he's been in and why Australia is his least favourite country in the world to drive; the reason why the sight of an old Audi TT makes him cry, and so much more...

'Corby is a treasure. I came for all the wild and brilliant yarns about the cars. I stayed for the beautiful writer behind the wheel.' Trent Dalton

'Corby is the (second) funniest man I know. What magic does he weave? He actually makes me want to read about cars. I gulped this up. Laugh, cried. Wanted more, more. (Also, a hoon-mobile.) He is the Jeremy Clarkson of Australia, but better. Please can he never stop talking about cars.' Nikki Gemmell

'The car book every auto industry insider needs to read' The Auto Exec

'Highlighting the joys and perils of driving in Australia and personal anecdotes from his home life and on the road, this is a funny, relatable read for car lovers' Ballarat Courier
