About this product

Product Information

It was the late night Tai Bo fitness commercial warning him that life comes to an end after 40 that prompted Peter Moore to chase a boyhood dream. To go to Italy and seek out its celebrated dolce vita from the back of a Vespa. But it couldn't be just any old Vespa. Peter wanted a bike as old as he was and in the same sort of condition: a little rough round the edges, a bit slow in the mornings perhaps, but basically still OK. And it had to have saddle seats. And temperamental electrics. And a little too much chrome. The sort of scooter you'd imagine a sharp-suited, Ray Ban-wearing young Marcello Mastroianni riding. Her name was Sophia. From picnicking in the Italian alps and rattling through cobbled hilltop to gate-crashing Frances Mayes's villa and re-enacting 'Roman Holiday', Vroom with a View is as much a romance as a travel adventure. For not only does Peter win the woman of his dreams, he falls for a side of Italy others rarely see. Along with Sophia, of course...

      Fun, Entertaining and Inspiring

      This is a really good book. The story is takes you on a tour of Italy on an old Vespa as the author and his girlfriend immerse themselves in Italian life. Many an introduction is helped by the Italian registered Vespa and of course the magnetism almost every Italian has for a Vespa. I've read the book several times and having lost my copy, bought it again so that I could read the story again. At the end of this book, you will be searching the classified ads for a classic Vespa and looking at holiday destinations in Italy.

      Road trip through Italy

      Entertaining story about a road trip on a ‘61 Vespa through Italy. The author was extremely lucky with the weather otherwise I doubt the book would ever have been written.
