 McQeen Machines;my idea April 5, 2008
I nice book for the Mcqueen collector.
Most chapters about his cars and a few movie cars.
One minor point,only one small chapter about his collection of old bikes.
Easy to read,good pictures.
I good book to have on your bookshell.
 Cool McQueen March 28, 2008
Most people who have sucess or inherit money or win money get in alot of trouble.
Steve McQueen took the sucess he got from his film career and had a blast.
He did what he wanted and the collection of machines he obtained were to have fun with not keep as speculative money makers. He wanted to understand what made the machine live up to the performance standards it had, and tinkered with them to make them even better. A cool guy who loved cool machines.

There are a few Hollywood legends known for their love of fast machines. All of you motorheads out there (and there are millions of you!) know about James Dean, Paul Newman, and Jay Leno. In my opinion Steve McQueen's love for REALLY fast machines eclipses that of all the others in the sense that he not only surrounded himself with some of the most desirable and now legendary cars and bikes ever, but they frequently took center stage in many, many of his equally timeless movies...."On Any Sunday", "The Thomas Crown Affair", "The Great Escape", "Bullit"(I still get a bit queasy watching that one), and of course the mother of all racing movies, "Le Mans".
This book documents the way he LIVED that life. It is impeccably researched and laced throughout with photographs and endless tidbits all documenting his collection, how it was acquired over his lifetime, and it tells of his love not only for those machines, but his of driving(and riding).
It is a wonderful resource for documenting bar bets as well. With this at hand you'll never lose a bet with any of your car-crazy friends !!
Like his well-worn movies that have stood the test of time, I'm sure you'll find that this volume will stand up just as well.
When in doubt....ACCELERATE :~)
