Language: English
What was the first real "car"? And what is a car really? Such questions are not easy to answer, but Keith Ray has taken up the challenge and compiled a myth-busting book full of fascinating facts. Starting from the "first" projects in automotive technology, such as disc brakes, fuel injection and four-wheel drive, through legislation that introduced a driving test, speed limits and the first conviction, to the first roundabout, two-way road, motorway, traffic management and fatalities, Ray not only reveals what happened first, but also corrects historical errors along the way. The V8 engine did not originate in America, as most people believe, and Rudolf Diesel certainly did not invent the diesel engine. The book "First Gear", full of photographs, is the perfect gift for any car enthusiast.
