This is an interesting read for the traveller and car enthusiast. A true account set in 1957 when Europe was still recovering from the effects of World War Two. Two rather naive young lads who, without any idea of where they were going, decided to take their 1928 Austin-7 bone-shaker, for an ill prepared continental tour (their first trip abroad) with almost catastrophic results. They were challenged with at least one breakdown everyday, some of which were very serious. Discover how they coped despite language difficulties, with a lot of luck, initiative, determination, and how they benefited from the good nature of the people they met along the way.
