To many, the three decades recounted in this book can be described as the 'Golden Era' of motoring life in Southern Africa. Relating personal memories, the journey weaves its way through the recollections of a motoring enthusiast who first discovered the fascination of the motor car as a child. There are tales of under-age driving; searching through the veldt to discover old but interesting cars; escapades in his first sports car; modifying and racing a Cooper S and MGs and completely restoring a rare ex-works Austin Healey 100S. There are many other fascinating recollections of a motoring life in Africa but, in the background there is a continual warning of impending political change threatening the free and easy way of life.
