Autobiography of a Triumph Dolomite Sprint

Ever wondered what your car thinks about you? Or about anything else, for that matter? If so, this autobiography of a 1975 Triumph Dolomite Sprint will go a long way towards satisfying your curiosity.

Wittily written, with politically incorrect sideswipes at everything from industrial relations to modern policing, the story is as much about the car's owners as it is about 'Dolly' himself. Yes, Dolly the Dolomite knows it's a girl's name, and he's suffered enough for it over the years, but that's what Roger and Sylvia call him and he's not the type to break the Code of Conduct and reveal his sex to his driver.

You don't know about the cars' Code of Conduct? Then you clearly have a lot to learn - so let Dolly be your courteous, informed and entertaining guide to this hitherto secret world.

'Despite not being a driver, and never in fact having taken a driving lesson, I really enjoyed the book. It is very, very well written, and the really clever thing is it is written from the viewpoint of a car (which you think may not work, but it does, and very successfully.)'

-R J Ellory, Award winning author, and Richard & Judy 2008 Book Club with 'A Quiet Belief In Angels'

It makes the assumption that the desire to self-publish is not necessarily to make money, or even to publish a physical book at all. It may simply be to produce a keepsake for a family member or an eBook for digital distribution.Practical examples are covered step-by-step.
