With some of the longest winter days ahead, I thought this would be a great time to share a good read with you.    Matt Stone, executive editor of Motor Trend magazine, has written a book on the “King of Cool”;  Steve McQueen.  “McQueen’s Machines” allows you to peak into the fast and furious world of this man whose passion for automobiles and motorcycles was contagious.  The book is filled with some 200 photos, some of which have never been seen, as well as family stories and several  behind the scene glimpses into the filming of the super 1971 movie, LeMans.

I have had this book around for a while and find myself going back to it time and time again.  I can’t tell you how often I catch myself re-telling some of the anecdotes from the book with my buddies, as well as many of the amazing photos.  The book is published by Motorbooks and you can pick up your copy here.  Be sure and check it out.
