An extraordinary story of spies, speed and hard-driving genius, by the man who was The Stig.

‘I want to be part of an outward-looking liberal country with a positive, strong identity internationally and I’m tired of living in a siege mentality.’Irish Unity is the first book to explore Irish reunification in the aftermath of Brexit which is written by Ben Collins who comes from a pro-British and Unionist background and has lived and worked across the UK. In this book Collins explains how he has come to favour Irish Unity. He uses his twenty years of experience working in political communications to give his insight on the current situation regarding the building momentum for Irish Unity, the importance of the Good Friday Agreement and Brexit. In this book he sets out what it would take to win a Border Poll referendum and the importance of preparation in advance. Inspired by the momentum of the Scottish referendum and taking lessons from elsewhere, Ben Collins guides the reader through the steps needed from both sides that he believes will unite Ireland. Collins gives deep insight from a Northern Ireland perspective about how the financial, cultural and social ramifications could pan out for citizens in both parts of Ireland and how it would affect the United Kingdom, Europe and the world.

Sto lat pionierskiego designu, prędkości, plam oleju, katapultowych foteli, bomb i pocisków, porażek i triumfów: Aston Martin to historia, która przechodzi z rąk do rąk, pełna brytyjskiego ducha i polskich akcentów. To opowieść o ludziach z niezłomnym charakterem, dążących do doskonałości. Aston Martin to nie tylko samochody, ale także świat szpiegów, prędkości i geniuszy jazdy. Pierwsze modele powstawały, gdy Maranello było jeszcze polem. Ben Collins w swojej książce opisuje innowatorów, którzy przez ponad sto lat podtrzymywali pasję marki – od pionierów Martina i Bamforda po dzisiejszego guru designu Adriana Neweya. Wspomina również o szpiegach i kierowcach wyścigowych, Davidzie Brownie oraz pięknych modelach serii DB, nieodłącznie związanych z Jamesem Bondem. Collins odkrywa tajemnice samochodu agenta 007, prowadząc Vantage’a swojego ojca, występując w czterech filmach o Bondzie i zmagając się z zespołem Astona w legendarnym wyścigu Le Mans. To historia sukcesu i inżynieryjnego triumfu, która od lat dwudziestych ubiegłego wieku do dziś wciąż przyciąga entuzjastów motoryzacji.
