| book description |

He comes, he sees, he plays with the gadgetsâ€¦ Boris Johnson has been behind the wheel of some of the worldâ€™s fastest, most luxurious cars. Heâ€™s taken the Jaguar XKR-R for a spin around a posh public school; roared through Islington in the AC Cobra V8; and spent a weekend tearing through the lanes of Sussex in the splendour of the Mercedes S55 AMG. Now heâ€™s going to reveal exactly what it was like. Pondering the fundamental questions â€“ What does it feel like to be overtaken by a female driver when youâ€™re behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo? Can a car really precipitate a mid-life crisis? â€“ Boris Johnsonâ€™s hilarious dispatches from life in the fast lane will appeal to anyone whoâ€™s found themselves behind the wheel of one of modern motoringâ€™s finer specimens. But itâ€™s not all glamour and gadgets. Because when heâ€™s not baiting his Holloway neighbours with the Rolls Royce Corniche, we see Boris trying, and failing, to get to grips with the Smart car, and attempting to flee Kosovo in a Fiat Uno. Published together for the first time as a Paperback Original, these hilarious vignettes are vintage Boris: witty, candid and unique.
