Peggy Iris Thomas

[Chrisb40]

Since buying a Bantam and encountering several issues with it that I wasn't expecting, I came across 'A Ride in the Sun' by Peggy Iris Thomas whom I guess many of you have heard of. Now, when I encounter problems I just thank my lucky stars that I'm not breaking down in Mexico City in 1951 on a Bantam D1!!! What a brave young woman Peggy was and an inspiration for all Bantam owners

Seconded. An incredible trip by an amazing woman
But she did have the advantage of not having too much experience of living with Bantams, so not worrying about what can go wrong;).
If anyone hasn't read her book Gasoline Gypsy you really should.

I just found two copies of this book on the bay; a paperback that I bought about a tenner, and an original Hard Back £240, pass on that one.
