Hell yeah Rosie!!! Great personal journey on the road across forever...

Rosie ~ Thanks for a great book from one woman to another. This book NEVER gets boring. Now I only have to thank my dad for lending it to me!!

This Is Not A Sunday Drive In The Country!!!

In September 1997 a woman by the name of Rosie Thomas set off in a modified Volvo with her co driver, Phil Bowen to take part in the re enactment of the first ever run International Motor Rally. Ms. Thomas has written this book about her very memorable LONG road trip. Along the way she hankers for a decent glass of wine in "dry" countries, argues with Phil and fantasizes about what kind of guy she would like Phil to be. The reader will cheer the two of them as they continue on their journey.One gem in this book is when Rosie gets to the stage where she can't face another meal of Chinese food and no doubt would like a good old American meal of steak and potatoes!!!You will feel like you are in the car with them on this momentous journey. This is a very well written book about a very long, but never boring journey by car.Well done Rosie and I salute you!!!
