5 out of 5 stars Side Glances   September 6, 2008
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.


5 out of 5 stars Just another great book from Egan   September 16, 2007

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!).

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.

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.
