Verdict: carrot
This book rekindles that recurring idea: to give up the madness and the rat race, rummage for the old, “worn Shell road map”, fill ‘er up and just drive. Dana Snyman seems to be really living his life, travelling the small, unknown roads through South Africa, and telling the stories of simple, salt-of-the-Earth folk.
Snyman is boyishly proud of his “Epol-brown” 1973 Regal Valiant. He writes about his car like the Lone Ranger might talk about Silver. And he associates Valiants, in particular, with the old days in South Africa, so his road trip is also a nostalgic meandering through the memories of his childhood.
