By Michael Preston of the Crankhandle Club
"I should like to mention that a copy of "Mini Memories" is a prized new addition to my collection of motoring books, and I'm able to assure you of the volume's excellence. No run of the mill marque write-up, it is in fact very considerably better than that. In terms of its substantial information about South African Mini development and production, competition use and the variants special to this market, the book is not only a fine read but a truly fascinating work of reference. Indeed, I foresee the book being in demand from the many Mini enthusiasts and others who hold this trend-setting small car in considerable affection. "
By Shawn Bester of Cape Town
"Many
thanks for the books! I've read 85% of the book so far. Its been a brilliant
read so far!
You've certainly gone out of your way! Well done."
By Derek Armstrong of Melkbos
"I bumped into Johan Bezhuidenhout recently at the local Shopping Mall and he insisted that I follow him home for coffee and a look at his new book. He is ever so proud of his copy of "Thanks" (I must say, it is a very impressive looking book).
I'm looking forward to receiving my book and one thing is for sure, although it would look very good on the coffee table, it is going to be kept securely in my office. Call me selfish if you like but no way are all and sundry going to page through it with their grubby fingers !"

"Ryno, I finished reading your book yesterday, and I have to tell you that it was a most captivating read. You have really succeeded in relating a potentially dull subject in a way that literally made the years roll back. .What a different life we lived back then!
Again, my congratulations, and I now eagerly await the 'racing' book. I just hope you still have the energy to finish the journey."
By Michelle Smith of Port Elizabeth
"I would also just like to compliment you on your book, I think it is beautifully done and I am sure that my Father is really going to enjoy it."
By Alex & Suzy Kinsman of Somerset, UK.

"Both of these publications are superb and I have enjoyed reading them, and will continue to absorb information from them. Congratulations on a job very well done, and thank you for the HUGE amount of effort you have put into both of them."
By Chris Spinks of South Africa.
"I met you at the November Piston Ring meeting and bought a copy of your excellent new book "Thanks for the Mini memories". I immediately gave it to my wife to hide until Christmas Day, as a self-chosen present from my kids.
Since then I have hardly been able to put it down! My congratulations on an excellent volume!"
By Robert Shough of Cape Town.
"I must congratulate you again, as the further and further I get into your book, the more enthralled I become. My girlfriend is very irritated with me as I have done nothing but read..."
By Rick Higgs of Pitt Meadows, BC, Canada.

"... It was your book which arrived safely in its packaging.
Upon opening the parcel I was immediately struck by the quality of the publication and upon opening the cover and leafing through the pages – topics, photos, layout - I could only utter one word “beautiful”.
I look forward to setting time aside to enjoy a very good read! Not at all certain that I could lend it out."
