'What defines the car-saddo condition is not being able to recall a
time when the toy-car-era of your life actually ended. Because for
us sufferers, it never does.' Nobody knows cars like Chris Harris
does. He calls it 'unhinged geekery', but we'd call it infectious
enthusiasm, adrenalin fuelled escapism and rigorous journalistic
integrity. And then there are his famous skills at the wheel, from
city cars to rally cars, not forgetting the Guinness World Record
3.4km sideways in an electric car. And now for the first time,
Harris is going all out with that unhinged geekery, and takes us
down the road of his life-long obssession with the automobile -
from the Scalextric track to the Nürburgring 24 Hour, via his own
formative low-powered Somerset version of The Dukes of Hazard. A
highly individual, petrol-soaked life story that's all down to
variable valve timings.
