What they say about Tony ...

SIR STIRLING MOSS

“I have always said that 'Movement is tranquillity!' Well, Tony has certainly had plenty of movement over the years, but not a lot of tranquillity. I've known him more years than I care to remember and I know you'll enjoy this book.”

NICK MASON OF PINK FLOYD

“Tony Mason … sometimes accused of being my brother – more often my elderly uncle! He's an even worse drummer than I am, although much better at rallying and presenting motoring programmes on TV. His book should probably be nearly as good as mine!”

LEWIS HAMILTON, FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPION 2008

“Tony is good fun and a great guy.”

KEN BRUCE, BBC RADIO 2 PRESENTER

“Tony has come a long way in his career; usually because he was lost! He’s given us some great moments on Top Gear and other television programmes, and often reminded me of Wilfrid from the Bash Street Kids in the Beano comic.”

DEREK BELL, FIVE-TIME WINNER OF THE LE MANS 24 HOUR RACE

“Tony is one of the rare breed of men that can sit next to an out-of-control driver for several days and participate for a lifetime with that same passion, and laugh about it.”

LORD MARCH, GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED FOUNDER

“Tony has played a big and hilarious role in British motorsport over the past four decades. This book is proof of that – not to mention the enormous amount of fun he has obviously had putting this book together.”

ANDY GREEN, WORLD LAND SPEED RECORD HOLDER

“Tony is one of those enthusiastic characters that you enjoy meeting. Last time he put a microphone in my face I was climbing out of a rally car after an outrageously fast ride through the trees of Goodwood's rally stage. Tony used to do this full time, so I can confirm that he must be slightly mad!”

HANNU MIKKOLA, WORLD RALLY CHAMPION 1983

“I first met Tony many years ago before I could speak or understand any English. He still made me laugh! He has amazing stories to tell, including those about when he co-drove for me in New Zealand on his last rally.”
