Bluff your way on car knowledge

 
11 October 2013

Embarrassed by your lack of motoring knowledge? Driven from the kitchen at parties when the talk turns to gudgeon pins, trunnions and floppy tappets? Fear not, The Bluffer’s Guide to Cars is here.

Entertaining, witty and knowledgeably written by Evening Standard contributor and occasional road-tester Martin Gurdon, the £6.99 book is a must-read for anyone with even a passing interest in cars... or perhaps just those wishing to pretend.

What do the chapters on “Suck, Squash, Bang and Blow” and “What’s that ticking noise?” cover? You’ll have to read it to find out but it’s all worthwhile; your vocabulary will never be the same again.

It’s published by Bluffer’s and also available as an eBook.
