The Flying Lady (Rolls-Royce Owner's Club-USA) - July/August 2009

Book review

More pages for less money? This is not a sign of the new economy but a birthday present to the author who is now a proud 98. Milliken's life story is the story of 21st century engineering; we reviewed the 1st (hardcover) edition in FL07-2 and already then remarked that the book was hardly big enough to cover all the achievements of a man whose editor, Bev Kimes, called him-approvingly!-"equal part Peter Pan and Dennis the Menace." The new edition adds one chapter (plus attending Index updates), about the 2007 Goodwood where Milliken once more drove his radical MX-1 Camber Car. Its extreme negative camber makes it look as if the wheels are collapsing but is good for a neck-wrenching 1.3 g cornering force.
