Summary

Peter Egan's entertaining and insightful columns have long been a cornerstone of Road & Track magazine. Readers have learned to seek out his column each month to hear of his latest adventure, which is just as likely to have occurred amongst the ever-changing collection of machinery within his garage as out on the open road. Egan's observations on the nature of the modern motoring enthusiast are sure to strike a chord with like-minded souls. Columns in this collection include "Burning the Candle at Neither End," "Tuning Secrets of the Ultra Slow," "Garages of Ill Repute," "A Field Guide to Noise," "A Carb Named SU," and many others.
