Flat out-Flat Broke!
I have been meaning to get this book for ages but never got round to it. I then saw it yesterday in a charity shop for the grand sum of 25p, bargain I thought. on getting it home I start reading only to find it has been signed on the inside by Perry himself. It made my day.

If only the shop that sold it had known, that would have added another 5p to the price...
It's a good read. I miss Perry, his presence always livened up a meeting or an interview. |

Very entertaining read. I met Perry at Le Mans 5 years ago & he was very approachable & very funny (plus slightly drunk!!).

Cool! I bought a signed copy on eBay for about 99p - I thought that was a bargain!

It's a very good honest book by a guy who deserved a lot better. Somehow, picking it up for 25p is fitting......
