Excellent book. Can't wait for the Mk2 version now.

Jim, there is only one word to describe this book - Amazing. It has been written by a clubman, about clubmen and for the clubmen and your stories reflect what was without a doubt the best ever rallying years. Full marks also to your publishers, the quality of the finished article is first class and well worth every penny. Well done and may you get many more sales.

Full credit to you Jim, a remarkable well written book that brought back so many memories, as for the pace note incident we only did what most top crews did in some form or other at the time, we were just unlucky & got caught! I have no regrets and it had nothing what so ever to do with my demise from rallying. So, good luck with the book & can only advise anyone wanting a true insight of rallying in the 70's it is a MUST read - Best Regards Geoff Simpson

Well done mate...great read and happy memories of classic times!

Well remember your commitment to the sport with your blue Imp at the 62 Car Club Autotest [of a sort!] at Merrylees, when you had that first nasty with your new car at the bridge after the 90 right! Possible a few more to follow? Many happy memories!

Great read! All those secrets and a few left out I would think.
Nice to have all the tails of folk we all know, or think we do, told in a manner that is pure Jim.
Well done.

Only 1/3RD of the way through totally absorbing

Mandatory reading material for anybody who has "been there and done it". I was from a different era but this excellent book made so many memories come flooding back.
Good work!

Hi Jim, back in 2005 or 6 I took part in a little walk called the Fellsman, at Cray I was grouped up with some people (my group retired)and walked with them to the end, one of them (I now know) was you. Having seen the name Jim Goodman on the rally forum I did wonder if it could be the same person but thought it was a long shot, however today after talking to a young northern irishman who I have sat by all season, who told me he had auctioned the codrivers seat on the Trackrod to a Jim Goodman I thought I would google the name and see what I came up with. Well this was the first site on the list and I was chuffed to bits to see that you were indeed the same person that I had walked with a few years ago, we finished with Stephen ? and a lady, can't remember the name, Alison possibly?
Anyhow I can assure you of the ride of your life with Marty, he's a great driver and better than that he has a great attitude.
Are you still walking?

Regards,
Phil Clarke

Jim I have been looking for a contact address for some time, would be fantastic to hear from you. Derek.

its like being back in the seat, some laughs, some lows, reminds you of the competitors you nearly forgot about, well worth it, thank you GH

Excellent book really enjoyed every chapter and would recommend to everyone.
Hope you do the 2nd book Jim.
Steve

you have done a very god job.. Keep this work going

A sad day Jim, finished the book. An absolutely brilliant nostalgic account of the golden years of rallying which you and I were privileged to have enjoyed because of the time we were born! Best years of our lives never to return! Written with true passion Jim, so glad you did it, I could smell the trees. Thanks mate, regards, Keith.
