Here's
THE
Book for
British car drivers ... students of human nature ... anglophiles ...
and any and all
who love to read.
A
brilliant collection of
tasty short stories about humanity, as observed in the realms of
driving, repairing, and
loving British cars.
Some of the stars are the inimitable Buy-Eye (frog-eye) Sprite, the
Jaguar XK120, Triumph TR4, Austin-Healey 3000 triple-carb, and Land
Rover 109".
Other parts are played by the split-window VW bus, Nash Ambassador and
Metro too,
Austin sedans, Jaguar sedans, a Norton morotcycle, an experimental
airplane, and others.
We'll travel the Arizona deserts, California mountains, and all the way
to the East Coast. Settings range from Berkeley, California,
to
New Mexico,
remote ghost towns to thunderstorms.
This
book is
currently in print, and can be purchased
from the usual suspects: Borders,
Amazon, Tattered Cover, but also from the publisher directly,
Virtual Book Worm.
