Praise for Dino Days Octane Magazine - An entertaining and very
personal account - wonderful anecdotes and very relatable
adventures. Ferrari Owners Club magazine - A great read - the GBP30
asking price is a bargain. Classic Car weekly Newspaper - Focuses
on much more than just the baby Ferraris. Interesting anecdotes and
an engaging read. Classic and Sportscar Magazine - This enthusiast
tome is anecdotal, affectionate and honest with a quality feel that
belies the price tag. Dino Days reveals the realities of classic
car ownership and it focuses on an icon of the classic car world,
the Ferrari Dino. Dino Days tells the exploits of Phill Brigstock
and those of his family over the past 50 years, having owned around
200 Classic Cars between them. Watch out for James Bond, a
Lamborghini Miura related to the Italian Job film and an exploding
Lotus. Dino Days also tells the story of Enzo Ferraris true love,
his first born son, Dino and the beautiful and iconic cars that
carry that name. This book is aimed at the casual reader who has
cast an envious and enquiring glance when a classic car passes by.
Dino Days brings the reality of Classic car ownership to life,
culminating in a road trip to Maranello in Italy, the home of
Ferrari, whilst meeting several Dino owners along the way. Phill is
also a member of the Sporting Bears - a driving charity which has
raised over GBP2.3 million for Childrens causes, by giving the
public "Dream Rides" in interesting cars at events across the UK in
exchange for a small donation and all profits from Dino Days will
be donated to the Sporting bears. Dino Days has a wealth of over
300 photos going back to the 1970's and ends with a look at what
the future may hold for the world of classic cars. See Dino Days
