A fantastically funny collection of motoring trivia, tales and quizzes, from the bestselling author of Total Lemons and Total Wheelspin.

Total Leadfoot is the book version of hanging out with your mates - having a laugh, shooting the breeze, and wondering "Could that car company really have done that?" It asks all the big questions: do you know your Lada from your Frisky? Are cup holders the most moronic things or an essential part of the driving experience? What are the real causes of road rage (bad coffee anyone?). Could you ever buy a car called Adam?

Amaze and impress your friends (and bore your partner rigid) with your knowledge of rattletraps and rakish beauties, bizarre car facts, strange stories behind even stranger films, quirky facts, quizzes and frequently unasked questions.

Total Leadfoot completes the 'total' trilogy in exactly the right way: by adding a third book. So belt up, adjust your mirrors, your ride starts now!

About the Author

Tony Davis has worked as a book author, publisher, magazine editor and newspaper writer. He has written about cars, on and off, for nearly thirty years. He has driven some of the fastest, most expensive and most impressive vehicles ever built, yet retains a bizarre fascination with those at the other end of the spectrum, those created by designers and engineers who, as he puts it, 'think a tour de force is a bicycle race'.
