My Dad Wished He Had One of Those

My Dad Wished He Had One of Those

by Giles Chapman (Author), Giles Chapman (Author)

Synopsis

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

Media Reviews
'A splendid little book, full of humorous nostalgia for the cars your dad and in many cases you possibly also drove with such pride in the 60's, 70's and 80's. A great present for maybe Father's Day or Christmas.' AMAZON CUSTOMER REVIEW of MY DAD HAD ONE OF THOSE
