Inhaltsangabe

Growing up in the 1950s, and now wondering whether he wouldn't be better off getting a free bus pass, Mark's life, told through the cars he's owned, is also the story of Britain seen from the driving seat. His "auto" biography takes us on a warm, funny, and nostalgic journey through the decades&;from his family buying a car for the first time, through carwashing for a bob-a-job, to becoming a car owner himself, with his battered Ford Escort (constantly stolen), and his Triumph Vitesse (constantly renovated). These memories of motoring, from golden age to gridlock, will spark more than a trace of affection for the cars we've owned, sworn at, and loved.
