About the Book

We had been driving all day in Brittany, where making cider and crepes is an art. We bought one bottle of the cider, for memorys sake, and a cookbook, too, Crepes and Galettes, to add to my wifes sprawling collection of such items...There are a million books about cars, but none about driving, until now: 'On the Road' unashamedly celebrates the pleasures of driving. 'On the Road' is full of stunning photographs of magnificent roads, breath-taking landscapes and people at one with their cars. The book is about driving experiences around the world, told by a man who has had a life-long passion for driving. 'On the Road' takes the reader on a journey discovering how beautiful and refreshing driving, and life, can be.

About the Author :
Peter was born in the land of The Sound of Music. He lives in Hong Kong , his car is registered in Austria, his passport is Swiss, his driving license from the US. And his laminated marriage certificate says that his Malaysian-Chinese wife is Australian. With this sort of confused background, crossing borders by car is never easy, but being on the road always is. When Peter was a lot younger he competed, on occasion even successfully, in European motor racing championships. Since then hes driven more than a million kilometres on roads in Asia, the US and Europe, celebrating every moment of it.

Review :
"Part travelogue, part automotive memoir, this is a motoring book with zilch about cars and everything about the joy of getting behind the wheel and just taking off. Schindler is an engaging travelling companion." -- What's On in London, January 2006. "This is the journal of a man who loves cars and loves driving them...and the pictures make you want to drive every one of the roads travelled." Rob Scorah in Classic Cars Magazine, February 2006. "Lively, page-turning writing and quite superb photography combine to great effect." -- Cornish Guardian, 15th December 2005.
