Following up on Crap Cars and My Dad Had One of Those, for Father's Day 2008 Top Gear celebrates the mid-life crisis with the definitive collection of the flashest, fastest, most impractical cars ever to be found in the driveways of otherwise perfectly sensible men.
The noise, speed and power miraculously replace lost testosterone. There's no room in the back for the family; the multi-storey car park is Monte Carlo and the man behind the wheel feels young and free again.
Drawing on the high level of Top Gear expertise in this area, this book surveys mid-life crisis cars from the 1950s onwards, identifying over 60 classics in the genre, spanning the whole spectrum from Ford Capri to Ferrari. It will offer fascinating insights into what each make and model reveals about the current mindset of its owner, and there'll be a simple score system indicating how well the choice of car deals with any issues that might need to be resolved.
Top Gear's Midlife Crisis will be irresistible to anybody who has ditched the estate car for the sports car, and to anybody whose partner has done so.
