YOU MUST BE SKIDDING! THE BIGGEST LOSERS OF THE CAR WORLD

Tony Davis

A children’s edition of our hilarious, bestselling LEMON! and EXTRA LEMON! books, aimed squarely at reluctant boy readers aged 7+ who want to read about cars, cars and more cars!

Description of book

Who thought it was a good idea to call a car Gremlin, or Cedric or Touring Bruce?
Which will fly first: the Moller Skycar or the pig?
Hear about the floating car that sank?
Hear about the show car so ugly the company had to promise they'd never build another that looked anything like it?
And then there was the fridge company that decided to make a car…
Whether it's a car with two, three or six wheels, has a motor scooter engine or a nuclear reactor, the most stupid name or the most dodgy design, YOU MUST BE SKIDDING! will tell you all you need to know about the losers of the car world.

Reviews

‘This book is an awesome guide for car fanatics and non-car-fanatics alike. It’s jam-packed with the wackiest, ugliest and most horrible “lemons” (a.k.a horror cars) that have ever hit the streets...hilarious!’ DMAG

'Perfectly pitched at boys of middle school age, this is a hoot of a book.' MAGPIES

'A great little book for a snicker, chortle or giggle.' NEWCASTLE HERALD

'A child friendly look at some of the worst cars that ever spluttered off the production line…highly recommended.' SYDNEY’S CHILD
