The Blue Meanie is a Tarmac-terrorising Boy Racer who thinks that he's the King of the Streets. When he finds himself among the real speed-freaks at the drag strip, though, he finds that a bad attitude won't get him very far. Can he take on the fastest boys and girls at the track and keep his speed off the streets, or can he cheat his way to the winner's circle A fun bedtime story for petrolhead kids, with charming and detailed illustrations from the digital pen of the 'car-toon' master, Colin Hardy.
Dave was born near Plymouth, and showed a passion for cars since before he could walk or talk. Almost 50 years later, that passion has never left him. After a series of dead-end jobs whose wages barely funded the maintenance and repair of his fleet of rusty old relics, Dave fell into automotive journalism at the turn of the century, and worked for Classic American and American Car magazines, before finally landing at Street Machine magazine. He has spent most of his life in the English West Midlands, either behind a Mac keyboard, beside a drag strip or on or under one of the current crop of rusty old relics. --- Colin Hardy is a freelance cartoonist/illustrator, based in South Wales.
