Publisher's Synopsis
Meet a Jewish man with an Oedipus complex-who's also owned more than seventy cars throughout his lifetime. If these vehicles could talk, what would they say?
This is not a book about throbbing exhausts, roaring engines, and spinning hubcaps. Rather, it's about one guy's journey with hot wheels, hot ladies, and a hot career in journalism, movies, PR, and marketing during the wild sixties, seventies, and beyond-a rollicking adventure told car by car.
Author Brian Cowley goes from his first encounter with sex to orgies in Mayfair, encounters what may be a body in the boot and unenthusiastically gets married, carried through a wild life by his many vehicles.
Through fascinating stories illustrated with pictures of classic roadsters, readers ride along with Brian Cowley as he remembers his former loves and automobiles. This is a driver's side view into the swinging '60s, the go-go '70s, and beyond.
Whether you come to love or hate him, you'll enjoy the ride-just like he did.
