Drives A Bit Funny: A Hilarious And Heartfelt Collection Of Car Stories On Life, Laughs And Lessons Behind The Wheel

In Drives A Bit Funny by Stephen Corby, Australia’s best-known motoring journalist serves up a warm, wickedly funny memoir-in-stories for anyone who’s ever loved a car a little too much. This is Australian humour with real heart: sharp observations, self-deprecation, and the way a set of keys can unlock a whole life.

Across a string of car stories—starting with a battered Land Rover and winding through family cars, prangs, and the odd vehicle that still stings to remember—Corby traces how driving shapes who we are. It’s not about specs and spoilers; it’s about freedom, frustration, nostalgia, and the strange places our favourite machines take us.

Perfect for car tragics, readers who enjoy comic memoirs, and anyone after an easy, feel-good read with genuine emotional bite.

Take it for a spin—you’ll want to keep reading long after you’ve parked it.
