30 years ago this evening (also a Monday) BBC2 showed the episode of 'The Car's The Star' about the Reliant 3-wheeler, which included 13-year old me as a young enthusiast with a terrible haircut, and the book I was writing www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzLn...

I eventually finished the book, 'Rebel Without Applause', while I was an undergrad—it was published in 2003 by Bookmarque who specialised in books on more obscure cars. Copies sometimes go for silly money www.abebooks.co.uk/book-search/... I think the only actual bookshop I ever saw it in was Foyles

Not sure what the lesson is other than just to remind myself that sometimes it's possible just to do things (as a teenager, I didn't know what I didn't know—I just thought, I will write a book, and keep going till it's done). Also to thank, in many cases posthumously, all the people who helped me.
