Book Description
Here for the first time is a short history of the small car from 1885 to 2000 and an examination of what came before, during, but not after the Mini, including the fairly complete story of the Mini and Mini Cooper from 1959 to 2000. James Ruppert is not used to spending very much money on cars, so when he decided to finish the restoration of his 1964 Cooper, started in 1979, the bills started to mount up and mentally he began to fall apart. Bought for 200 and a bottle of wine, it would eventually cost almost one hundred times that to finish. Serial Mini owner James Ruppert explains how not to buy, run or restore a classic car, and why owning one might be some form of unwellness. He's a man who can't be trusted with an old car, but can be relied upon to explain how the Mini came about and what it was up against throughout the decades. From the author of the critically acclaimed, The British Car Industry Our Part in its Downfall, and the Mercedes Montagu of Beaulieu winning The German Car Industry, My Part in its Victory, here is the full story of his seriously mistreated Mini and how the small car came to rule the world. James Ruppert has been a motoring journalist since the 1980s. He wrote for Car for almost twenty years, is a special correspondent for Autocar and has written for national newspapers including The Daily Telegraph, Sunday Times and The Independent. He coined the term Bangernomics, all about running vehicles on a budget and wrote the Bangernomics Bible. Ruppert is also the creator of the '70s superhero Spencer Haze comic strip.

Book Description
Enjoy this billionaire bad boy romance at a terrific discount. This is a steamy, sweet, billionaire romance Box-Set packed full of gorgeous alpha males and plenty of steam to keep the reading pleasure going all night long. The Widow's First Kiss (Dreams Fulfilled Book One) When the prettiest young widow in the world comes walking into my life with her adorable daughter, I fall pretty damn fast. I've put my career first for most of my life, and now that I'm past forty, I'm starting to wonder if it's time to think about all the things I sacrificed. Like having a family. Having a sweet face to wake up to in the morning, and loving arms to fall into at night. Lorena just might be the right person to fix all of that for me. Winning her over is going to take some work; she has a baby daughter to protect, along with her own broken heart. But that's not the complication I'm worried about. My ex, expert gold digger Andrea Case, is inserting herself into my family's Christmas celebration, manipulating my mother into making sure she can stay. Is she going to ruin Christmas? Or can I find out a way to save it for all of us? Lucky's Naughty Angel (Dreams Fulfilled Book Two) Aaron "Lucky" Gates never really had much luck-in love or in life. Dragged into a biker gang by a combination of desperation and pressure from his reckless older brother, Daniel, Aaron took the fall for an assault Daniel committed and spent ten years behind bars. Now, he's a bouncer at Phoenicia's only nightspot, struggling to rebuild his life while his brother keeps trying to coax him back into the gang. The one bright spot in his life, besides his friends at the job and his rescue dog Moose, is the sweet, beautiful girl he volunteers alongside at the church. Two problems: she's only twenty-one, and she's Reverend Alderson's daughter. He's headed toward forty and has no business sniffing around a girl who's so pure she could probably draw a whole herd of unicorns. Or so he thinks. A Kiss of Winter (Dreams Fulfilled Book 3) David and I don't talk about our short-lived marriage. It gets in the way of our friendship and our partnership. We're supposed to be trying to explain the inexplicable-of the paranormal variety, not the romantic-and bickering about our ill-fated romance isn't the way to do it. We were so young back then, and though he was never able to satisfy me when we were both inexperienced and didn't have a clue, being cooped up with him in this romantic little town has me noticing how much David has changed-and has me wondering just how much he's truly learned in the years since we broke up. With mistletoe hanging everywhere in this town, there's no doubt that love is in the air. But can that love be ours, or did we already waste our one chance?
