My New Book, "Ran When Parked," About Resurrecting a '72 tii, is Now Available on Amazon

[73tiiDavidPA]

You're # 1 in hot new releases in Classic Cars on Amazon....

 

Perhaps if we all order we can push you to the NYT.... 

[jrhone]

Nice Congrats!  I don't read many books...but this will be one I put on the top of my list.

Just ordered it on Amazon and thank you for writing it. 

[RAS-2002]

Cool ... ordered!

Love your unique writing style.

-Bob

 

ps: how'd you get Eric Clapton to pose for the front cover...?

[DocRogers]

That was fast. Received my copy today. My 2002 library is growing.

Just got my copy today also. 

Going to start reading tonight....right after I fix my banging exhaust.

Hey Rob, the shipping costs are more than the book, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it every bit as much as "Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic"!

Looking forward to my inscribed copy when they become available.

Keep on keepin' on inspiring us wannabe mechanics!

Woohoo!  Just bought a '72 tii that's been sitting for a little more than a decade- so of course I just ordered the book!  Thanks Rob.

Great read and very relevant to most of us as we turn wrenches to keep us sane in this world. 

Didn't quite fix my banging exhaust, bangs less though.

 

Motivates me as I get ready for road trip to SLO this summer.

well done sir!

I don't have much time to read these days, when does the movie come out?

[thehackmechanic]

Thanks everyone. 

 

Louie, the subject of the book, who I nursed home from Louisville by the skin of my teeth last February, just completed an absolutely flawless 2150 mile round-trip jaunt to The Vintage and back. Damn, man, it's reassuring that, when you spend two months sorting a car out, you can have a trouble-free trip.

Okay...

 

Now you've jinxed it!

A new premiss for another book? Perhaps like Zen and The Art of....Fear and Loathing; maybe..or Still Life with Woodpecker even.

Hey Rob, did you see this?  Your book (or the story of your book) was mentioned in grassrootsmotorsports.com in that fantastic, and pretty much famous, forum thread of the guy who rebuilt his R63 AMG engine after getting a $57K repair bill.  Here's the link:
