I'm off on holiday in 2 weeks time and need some good books to read, preferably of the motoring variety.
Can anybody recommend anything good??

Not a motor book as such, but contains some of the best writing about cars I've read.
The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck
It has the best part of a chapter describing a depression era breakers yard, which is fabulous. and numerous references to the ongoing maintenance of the Joad (iirc) family jalopy - big end shells changed in the rain, that sort of thing.

First Overland - London to Singapore by Landrover Totally recommend this one, I first read it when I was about 12 and was gripped! Six uni students blag 2 brand new cars from LR, pretty much on a whim, and do the mother of all road trips. If only it was that easy now |

Thanks for the links, have added a couple more to my list. I am of course assuming my old Landrover is up to the journey and I don't have to spend every 'relaxing' evening fixing it  |
