The perfect book for motor enthusiasts, thrill seekers and anyone who loves a good yarn.

'Fear and I started our long relationship at a very early age, and every time we met, I think we worked together to thicken my skin a little.'

As a veteran of the famous (some would say infamous) Targa Rally in Tasmania, Philip Blake has had plenty of brushes with death, but even the bravest and most foolhardy of rev heads would be shocked by his record.

In short, Philip Blake should not be alive. He has fallen off a mountain, been blown out of bed by an IRA bomb, survived an armed robbery and had far too many close shaves on the road - and that's before you even get to the Targa.

In this wickedly funny book, this master storyteller races through a life overflowing with thrills.
