Top Gear's Midlife Crisis Cars

by Matt Master

Drawing on a high level of expertise in this area, Top Gear explores the phenomenon of cars and the midlife crisis, identifying more than 50 classics of the genre across four desperate decades. From Ford Capri to Ferrari Testarossa, it celebrates the loudest, baddest, and most ridiculous dream cars, meanwhile offering a profound insight into the complex psychology of a middle-aged man and his quest for eternal youth. Top Gear's Midlife Crisis Cars both rejoices and recoils at the time-honored tradition of flushing the children's inheritance on something you're too arthritic to get into in the first place.

A very funny guide to the the ultimate midlife crisis cars

[Jenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

A trip down memory lane - mainly cars from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Each car was given a rating from one to five. My favorite car MG Midget. Best chapter heading "The messy divorce".

Definetly not as good as the other Top Gear car books. I couldn't read this one and just skimmed it.

My 450 SLC is included so I'm happy.
