Notes

'The fastest, the sleekest, the most famous and the strangest! This fascinating and high-speed look at more than 200 years of motoring will have you marvelling - and sometimes laughing out loud - at cars that float and fly and walk, cars made from plastic and even bamboo and those that are knee-high or as long as a bus. You too will be asking 'Are You For Wheel?' What famous Australian family car was nearly named the Koala? How did the Dynasphere, a car with just one wheel, stay upright? Heard about the trend-setting hybrid built by a lawnmower company? Did you know that the man who invented the car also invented the car crash? What car was known as the duck, the tin snail and the upside-down pram, yet sold in the millions? Heard about the car with a whopping 36 cylinders? What about the one powered by a fan - and which looked like a hair dryer?' --Provided by publisher
