Il va ainsi contribuer à la survie, comme au renouvellement de l’artisanat automobile. Fascinés par l’aura du break de chasse sportif auprès du public, les plus talentueux carrossiers et designers vont en effet signer d’intemporels chefs-d’œuvre, souvent spectaculaires. Ils seront exécutés sur les châssis les plus véloces et les plus prestigieux de leur époque, qu’ils
soient en provenance ou à destination de l’Europe, des USA ou du Japon : Aston Martin, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Subaru, etc. Véhicule mythique par excellence, capable de se démarquer de l’automobile ordinaire par l’intelligence de sa conception et un degré de raffinement inhabituel, il répond à un style de vie en perpétuelle évolution.
Afin de rendre hommage à tous les passionnés, aussi bien les concepteurs que les propriétaires, qui ont assuré le développement et la maintenance de ce concept automobile, Michel Stéfani vous invite à remonter le temps à travers l’évolution du break de chasse, pour vous permettre de découvrir ce qui en fait aujourd’hui tout l’intérêt et
l’originalité.

Michel Stéfani habite Lyon, où il exerce la profession de courtier. Eclectique passionné de design, son idéal automobile concilie une vocation de classique intemporel, tout en évoquant une époque ou un style de vie discrètement décalés. A ce titre, le break de chasse sportif est rapidement devenu l’un des véhicules favoris de ses virées hors les murs.

“If you need a healthy dose of drifting culture, you’ll find it in this title, which really delves a little deeper than most, drawing you into the faces and atmosphere of the scene. The book largely focuses on the arrival of drifting in the US and it’s impact on ol’ Uncle Sam. There are large color photos spread over 127-odd pages, along with thoughtful, engaging captions. Of course, for some reason we ended up in the back of the book at the ‘Umbrella Girls in Drifting’ section, though there’s a huge historical background provided on the sport towards the front, followed by the series of races that heralded the sport’s arrival in the States.”

Dreamed up by drivers trying to outdo each other on the mountain passes of Japan, the art of the sideways descent of a switchback - what Wired described as "the fishtailing ballet of burning rubber called drifting" - has made it to the United States in a big way. Drifting tells the story of drifting from its arrival on the West Coast to its emergence as the hottest form of motorsport in the United States. A dramatic visual record of the sport in America that includes over 400 photos, the book also profiles the people, teams, techniques, web sites, publications, videos, and trends that have made drifting the phenomenon that it is today. For the curious newcomer, author Antonio Alvendias introduction succinctly explains what drifting is, setting the stage for the thrilling automotive drama that then unfolds. For the veteran drifting fan, this book is the first illustrated book on the latest motorsport to conquer the world.

A small business owner and lifelong lover of classic sports cars, Jackson Brooks began in the early 1960s to purchase, restore and enjoy a long succession of rare automotive beauties, many of which are million-dollar commodities in today’s market. Not so much a collector as an enthusiast and entrepreneur, he recounts in this well-illustrated memoir how he found and selected the cars, some of which were on the verge of the scrap-heap, the process of restoring them, the challenges he confronted along the way, the ones that got away, and always the hunt for the next vehicle to spark his imagination.

The cars, primarily sporting machines, include 8C-2.3 Alfa Romeos, a Jaguar SS100, three 1953 Ferrari 250MM Barchetta racers (of 13 built), a 1922 Mercedes Targa Florio racer, a Type 57 Bugatti, a 1929 Mercedes SSK (one of 33 built), four Talbot Lagos, and a 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton among many others, with particular concentrations on Ferrari and Alfa Romeo. Often the sale of one, after restoration and use, financed the purchase of the next, and the text includes the purchase and sale prices as well as approximate present-day market values of the cars. Few people have enjoyed so much hands-on experience with so many of the world’s most desirable automobiles.

Former business owner Jackson Brooks is retired and lives in Loveland, Colorado.

Description
Most childhood fascinations are a passing fancy, but something about cars tends to capture the imagination forever. Witness the countless backyard weed-wrapped classics, rusted just shy of a shadow, slated one day for a return to glory; cloudy vacation memories of choking exhaust, deafening engines and blinding chrome; countless white-knuckled highway moments as the driver faces backwards to better glimpse some passing oddity spotted four lanes over. Somehow, cars have a way of getting into a kid’s blood. Any chronic condition requires a lifetime of maintenance. John Lumley caught the fever early—likely from a midnight blue Hudson—and it’s been with him ever since.

This engaging memoir follows a life spent nursing an obsession with cars, fitting for a son of Detroit’s heyday. With occasional play in the garage of the Ford estate and an excursion to see Buckminster Fuller’s three-wheeled Dymaxion among his earliest memories, John Lumley’s enduring love of cars is no surprise. From those childhood adventures followed a lifetime spent elbow-deep in engines—Nash, Hupmobile, Mercury, Citroën, Triumph, Volkswagen, Lagonda, Armstrong-Siddeley, Bentley and more, many of them pictured. Though his career was devoted to loftier pursuits, the grease beneath his nails perhaps best sums up Lumley’s lifelong love. Fifty-eight photographs and an index accompany the text.

About the Author
John L. Lumley is a professor emeritus of engineering at Cornell University, specializing in aerospace engineering and fluid mechanics. He lives in Ithaca, New York.
