TonyMac Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Another hundred+ pre-ordered Peter Collins books being posted out today (yes, we know there is a Royal Mail strike on today but let's at least get the packages in the system...), and in the days ahead. Please stay patient and thank you. Meantime, PC took last night off to reunite with ex-British Lions team-mates Doug Wyer & Reg Wilson at Sheffield, and also catch up with Eric Boocock, Neil Machin and many others. Thanks to Julie Reading and all at Sheffield Speedway for your help and co-operation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moxey63 Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) My copy arrived today. The weight of 500-plus pages hitting the floor from the letterbox made me think I'd dropped my wallet. Very impressive, long-awaited book by one of speedway's finest. Well done to all.

Same here, not read a book for a few years now, probably Mort's book was the last one I enjoyed, really looking forward to this one, will be listening out for the thud as it lands on the mat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Just got back from meeting the true "LEGEND" of British Speedway that is PC... A phrase far too often overused but one million per cent applicable on this occasion... A good crowd it appeared so hopefully he will make a good few quid from the book.. And he looked really well, which was also great to see... PC.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched this morning on you tube, 1982 world championship long track race when he hunted down Egon Muller on a really wet track….. amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in same boat mate, still waiting for my copy to arrive, fair enough though, I did read that they had over 1,000 orders for signed copies, which is great, here's hoping we get ours soon. It will be great to read what PC has to say about his racing career and I'll no doubt reminisce about the big occasions I got to witness over the years, he was the best of the best bar none for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC spent all day Saturday back at Retro Towers signing lots more copies, and we have hired extra staff to catch up the backlog. We've already made two trips to the Glossop post office sorting depot this morning with numerous sack-loads of books. Thanks for your continued patience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepturningleft Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I've just received the book and, it looks quite amazing even though I've only skipped through it. I don't know how these thing work but this book should be in Waterstones and all bookshops. PC is probably a better known name to anyone over 50 than Tai Woffinden who's book was obtainable from high street bookstores. This must be one of, if not the most impressive speedway book ever produced. Well done Tony Mac and all involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got mine signed by the great man last Momday.. A fantastic read.... Many of the meetings he writes about I was there for, so full of memories for me... The pre Speedway life was also very interesting and just the right length... Well done to all involved and for anyone who hasn't yet purchased it, don't miss out....
