What was the first real 'automobile'? And what actually constitutes
an automobile, anyway? SUCH questions are not easy to answer, but
Keith Ray has embraced the challenge and compiled a myth-busting
book packed with fascinating facts. Ranging from the 'firsts' in
motoring technology such as the disc brake, fuel injection and
four-wheel drive, through the legislation that brought in the
driving test, speed limit and first conviction, all the way to the
first roundabout, dual carriageway, motorway, motoring organisation
and fatality, Ray not only reveals what happened first but rights
historic wrongs along the way. The V8 engine did not originate in
America, as most people believe, and Rudolf Diesel certainly did
not invent the diesel engine. Packed with photographs, First Gear
is the perfect gift for any motoring enthusiast.
