Synopsis
From Ferraris to Lamborghinis: a nostalgic, tongue-in-cheek celebration of the cars your Dad dreamed about in the 60s, 70s and 80s., Dad may have always seemed a man of simple pleasures who only needed a cold drink, a new power drill, and a home cooked meal to be happy. But Dad had dreams too, and don't think he was entirely content with that wood-paneled Dodge Caravan or that Ford Pinto the driveway either. In quiet moments Dad was dreaming of Ferrari Daytonas, Lamborghini Miuras, and countless other gorgeous cars that in truth he could never afford. Packed with illustrations and witty insights, this entertaining compilation celebrates those motor vehicles of desire that gave Dad that faraway look in his eyes., When you were a kid your Dad might have seemed like a man of simple pleasures. But like the rest of us, your Dad had dreams. Yes, he loved your Mum, but if Diana Dors came knocking with a trampoline and two drums of baby oil he'd have been out of his armchair in a flash. And don't think he was content with that Cortina or Cavalier either, because Dad was quietly dreaming of Ferraris, Astons and other shiny wedges that in truth he could never afford. This book celebrates those exotic fantasies that gave your Dad a faraway look in his eyes. If you're looking for more details on the Diana Dors thing you might have to find a more specialist publication. THIS IS JUST ABOUT CARS
