Somehow, Egan talks about things I have also done or thought about, and uses just the right words to describe them...Amazing. Like the others in the series, these are repeats from Road and Track. Even though I have read most of them before, that does not diminish the joy I feel in reading them again (and again!).

In each article, Peter Egan will invite you into his car world and adventure. Expect to have a fun ride.

A wonderful, easy read for Peter Egan fans and a must read for "car people". However, since I grew up in Northeastern Wisconsin, spent many days at road Amwerica,and lived in Madison for many years, my review of this book is not exactly impartial. I know of the places in the area Peter writes about in this book. Consequently, I am a devoted fan of his columns and features. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Another splendid offering from Sir Peter Egan. Once again Egan has delivered a compilation of our favorite columns - this time from Road & Track magazine. Egan has the uncanny knack of capturing the essence of the open road and transforming it into the written word. The book is full of his tales and ancedotes of driving, restoration and racing. A brilliant book and a must for any automotive enthusiast.

This is one cool book by a very witty writer who digs mostly vintage English cars. If you're in to British cars, or any cars for that matter, you should read it. Peter Egan is wonderful.

Peter Egan the great has surpassed himself this time. What a book! It's funny, it talks about serious issues, and it's all about cars! I got this book for Christmas from my mom and read it over vacation. It had all the columns that I missed during the two years when I did not have a Road and Track Subscription.(The magazine where Egan's columns appear.) I especially liked the fact that he talks alot about his Jaguar E-Type, which is one of my favorite cars of all time, and also he's from good old Wisconsin! Would that there were more people like him in our state! Thank you, this has been my reality. Feel free to substitute your own.

Fantastic book! Egan is one of my favorites and this book doesn't disappoint.

I cannot review this item. The incorrect item was ordered and returned to
seller. The return went very smoothly with no snags or complications at all.

I was well pleased with the way transaction was handled, although, I thought
the freight charges were rather high on an item that weighed as little as
this one.
