Book Review

GoldPlated
Originally uploaded by Alfa Blog.

Full of pithy comments and anecdotes from everything from first cars to drug smuggling, Stephan Wilkinson's The Gold Plated Porsche is a joy for anyone who has restored a sports car, is about to restore a sports car, or wishes they had the balls to restore a sports car. Mr. Wilkinson served as writer and editor of Car and Driver and Flying magazines and his periodical short story style carries over to this tome, each chapter being a story in itself. I originally purchased this book thinking it must be a how to manual of sorts, but subsequently found out it more about the life and times of it's author. Even though it is not about Alfa Romeos it is still a good read which I think many of us in the car hobby can relate to.
