After a quick look at the reviews on amazon the competition car suspension book is on the list.

Any others?

Now on my list as well!

read high speed / low cost - ignore the car building bit, its just a good read.

I still love two comments he makes, one about getting suspension wrong where he says if you're lucky you might end up in hospital, if you're unlucky you might end up next door (mortuary!)

The other about finding someone who likes to help you, if they are female, marry them! ....... shame i can't find anyone
