For over 35 years Roy Lanchester has been one of Britain's motoring journalists. In that time he has driven, dined, drunk and laughed, all at other people's expense. In this memoir he looks back at his life and career, from his early days as a cub reporter, through his halcyon time as a Fleet Street motoring hack in the 1980s, up to his reign as one of the country's best-known and thirstiest regional journalists. Roy has always been notoriously outspoken and he holds back nothing in this book, which includes tales of his failed marriages, his rows with press officers, and his incident with Nigel Mansell, although the lawyers later asked for this to be removed. If you've ever wondered what it takes to forge a career writing about cars in the face of setbacks, cutbacks and uncooperative barmen, How To Be A Motoring Journalist will tell you everything you want to know, and some things you don't.
