Harry the Rally Car is a car that talks and controls all of his own functions. Now a rental car, Harry hasn't been rented out yet, because he has a lot of broken parts and is dirty. Harry gets called to the garage by Daniel the Mechanic. In his haste, Harry doesn't see a large puddle and soaks Daniel and the other cars, which have already been cleaned. Then it's Harry's turn to go into the car wash, which is something he's never experienced before. All his worries dissolve as he finds enjoyment under the tickling brushes. But when he sneezes, Daniel gets another soaking. One day, Harry sees Daniel talking to Terry the Sales Manager. Worried, Harry decides to hide. He drives off and goes a bit too fast down a large hill. When his brakes won't work, he sees a sign warning, "Danger: Flood Water." After Harry can't stop, Daniel turns up with a tow truck to take Harry to the garage and, once again, Daniel gets soaked due to Harry. When some rally drivers show up at the rental agency looking for a rally car, Harry is given a new spoiler, lots of headlamps and turned into the rally car he was always meant to be. Author R W Neale plans on several sequels to Harry the Rally Car, because for Harry, this is just The Beginning. Neale works in the automobile industry and lives with his family near Oxford, England.
