ReviewsBorn To Ride, October 2007 “This compilation is a wealth of detail about the star’s amateur racing career, his movie stunt work, and his car and motorcycle collecting. All of this information draws a fascinating picture of one outsized man’s driving passion.â€� Musclecar Enthusiast, January 2008 “It includes many never before published photos, including those from McQueen family albums & a special treat for fans is a foreword by McQueen’s son, Chad.â€� Antique Automobile , November/December 2007 “Draws a fascinating picture of one outsized man’s driving passion.â€� Robb Report Collection, December 2007 “This 176-page book reads like a magazine and is filled with never-before-seen photographs.â€� Classic & Sports Car ( UK ), December 2007 Book of the Month: “If you only have one book on the King of Cool in your library, this should be it.â€�, TheColumbusDispatch,Nov. 11, 2007 "McQueen was hard wired for cars and racing, with his love for all things mechanical and innate competitive nature that comes through in the book."   Edmunds.com,Dec. 23, 2007 "Author Matt Stone skips all the Hollywood crap and gets right to the cars and motorcycles McQueen collected or made famous."                  Cycle World, January 2008 "Thumbs up to Steve McQueen for continuing to be the King of Cool, no matter that he puffed his last Marlboro 28 years ago. Hot on the heels of his 1963 Ferrari GT 250 Berlinetta selling for a record $2.3 million at auction comes a new book, McQueen's Machinesby auto writer Matt Stone. Nicely done, including a chapter on McQueen's motorcycles."  , Playboy, December 2007 "Think of this book as a love story. It was good to be king."    Men's Journal , January 2007 "Though both a ladies' man and a man's man, Steve McQueen was first and foremost a gearhead. He performed many of his own driving stunts. He raced across American deserts and European road courses on two wheels and four. He had the balls to pilot the terrifying Porsche 917 flat out down the Mulsanne straight and ride a Triumph through Paris traffic. McQueen's Machines is the first complete look inside the man's garage and, as a result, one of the few peeks inside his head."
