Hi folks,
Now this might seem like a shameless plug for a book, but it's from the other side of the pond and I don't think I've ever emailed/corresponded and certainly never met the author so here goes....
"Europa Euphoria", written by Bob Herzog and purchased on Amazon UK for around a fiver which is less than the cost of a monthly magazine over here. (that's £5 GBP for those of you on the LHS of the pond). Ok, this isn't a Brian Buckland "Restoring the Elan" type of book with lots of colour pictures and superb detailing about how to restore an Elan in modern times, it's a sort of diary written as he's gone along restoring his Europa. No doubt many or all of the chapters were posted on t'interwebby at some point because it does come across as a "chatty" sort of read and all the better for it, it's the sort of style that makes you feel as if you're just chatting over a beer.
I'm about 1/3rd the way through and already despite the fact we're continents away I can find myself saying "yep, got that T shirt" at some of the anecdotes. Just the sort of thing you need to read when you're 12 months into a 3 month restoration programme.
So, I don't know the guy but go out and buy his book. If nothing else it'll cheer you up when you've spent half a day trying to undo one rusty nut......
Brian
