Vroom with a View

While at my parents recently I ran out of things to read and found something rather interesting amongst their James Heriot and Dick Francis books … actually a book I gave my mother … Vroom with a View by Peter Moore.

It’s about a guy who for his 40th birthday wants to drive a 40 year old Vespa around Italy – given to my mother to so she could read about wonderful countries on the other side of the world that they’re yet to visit. It’s turning out to be a great read given that I’ve been to half the places he references in the book. I’m not sure whether he speaks Italian or not as he seems to get stuck in the most remote places needing to get the Vespa fixed and the locals are always very helpful.
