Travel is an intrinsic part of many of our lives. The places we visit and the experiences we have become part of our identity.

A celebration of the magic of motorbikes by former TOP GEAR and current THE GRAND TOUR presenter Richard Hammond.

Memoir of the early life of TV presenter Richard Hammond, told through eight significant road journeys he has taken. ON THE ROAD: MY LIFE IN EIGHT JOURNEYS is a new way of autobiography, in which TOP GEAR presenter Richard Hammond tells the story of his early life through a series of significant driving episodes. He's a child in the back seat of Dad's car on the way to the seaside in Weston-Super-Mare. He's on his first bike, a red one, in Solihull; then on his first motorcycle, a Honda MTX50. He's at the wheel of his first car (and in the book with his first girlfriend). He is driving a furniture delivery van as part of his first job in and around Ripon. Now he is showing off with a friend, risking everything. ON THE ROAD is an emotional road map in which each chapter has its own registration number, and its own distinctive interior. Most importantly, each chapter sets off and arrives. ON THE ROAD surges on to its destination, reversing or moving quickly through the gears, reliving the central episodes and conflicts of Richard's life. Every chapter is a stage in a longer journey. Although there are precious few road-rage monologues against four-wheel drivers and men in vests in white vans, Richard Hammond's readers will quickly recognise the funny self-deprecating and balanced ease that has made him one of Britain's best-loved writers and television presenters.

Richard Hammond má to štěstí, že ho jeho práce baví. Koho by taky nebavilo projíždět se v nejrůznějších značkách super aut nebo zkoušet, jak se dostat ze zavřeného auta pod vodou?! A co se takhle projet v autě na tryskový pohon? To všechno se dá zažít při moderování pořadu Top Gear. Někdy se to ale může pěkně zvrtnout… V knize Na hraně: můj příběh vypráví Richard Hammond o své nehodě v autě na tryskový pohon. Vypráví o nemocnicích, kterými prošel, o tom, jak se nemohl pohnout, jak si nemohl na nic vzpomenout, jak mu selhávala krátkodobá paměť, jak se o něj museli starat druzí a jak při něm stála jeho žena a kolegové.

Loaded with information and wit, this hilarious overview is a must-have for anyone even remotely interested in cars. Its topics include car and traffic etiquette, how to buy a car, how to avoid giving murderers a lift, the seven ages of the motorist from learning how to drive at 18 to driving the wrong way down highways at 80, a spotter's guide to motorists in the style of a World War II manual, customizing, the alternative guide to road rage, and even organizing that last journey—cool hearses to be buried in. Several top 10's are also listed, including the top 10 noble failures, remembering Chrysler's car for women, the "Femme," which came in one color—shocking pink—and a matching shocking pink handbag and lipstick. Lastly, a "What Not to Drive 2007" update covers all the new cars in a cut-out-and-keep guide—everything a driver needs to know. The odd, the mad, the bad, the curious, and the ridiculous are all here in this wonderful, witty, and incredibly useful compendium of all we ever needed to know about the modern world of driving.

One positive if belated aspect of 'Cool Britannia' is that British-originated cars have become (again?) among the coolest on the planet. Range Rover, Mini, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin - especially the Aston Martin - these are names not only of historic significance but have a new resonance in the contemporary world too. But what of the not so cool cars, the cars you shouldn't opt to buy - and those you shouldn't even be seen in or alongside? No, not the Skoda or station wagon, which have a heroic anti-car coolness of their own, but the Golf or Astra or professional footballer's Ferrari.This is a book that jumps from an enormous height on personalised number plates, but celebrates Jarvis Cocker's decision to drive a station wagon and Roger Moore a Renault 5. It questions what happens to the status of your car after you have seen Bernard Manning or Jade Goodie posing next to a model of it in the newspaper.So there is a 'Showroom Questionnaire' for car manufacturers to check out their customers before they deign to sell them a car that might become irrevocably uncool as a result. As funny as it is cool and aspirational, WHAT NOT TO DRIVE will entertain all who love the information, banter and humour of BBC TV's Top Gear.
