We don't know about you guys but we petrol-heads at Auto123.com can and will never get enough of cars. Prime example: Vacation time. We can't and don't leave our work behind.
To us, this is not an excuse to leave aside our unbridled passion for all thing automotive. In fact, these lounging moments are perfect to read up on some of our favourite car buffs, personalities, brands and whatnot.
We know that there are hundreds, thousands even, of books on cars out there so we decided to make a short (very short) list of a few of our favourites and include some that we plan on reading from the summer solstice on.
