Peter was born in the land of The Sound of Music. He lives in Hong Kong , his car is registered in Austria, his passport is Swiss, his driving license from the US. And his laminated marriage certificate says that his Malaysian-Chinese wife is Australian. With this sort of confused background, crossing borders by car is never easy, but being on the road always is. When Peter was a lot younger he competed, on occasion even successfully, in European motor racing championships. Since then he's driven more than a million kilometres on roads in Asia, the US and Europe, celebrating every moment of it.

"Part travelogue, part automotive memoir, this is a motoring book with zilch about cars and everything about the joy of getting behind the wheel and just taking off. Schindler is an engaging travelling companion." -- What's On in London, January 2006.

"This is the journal of a man who loves cars and loves driving them...and the pictures make you want to drive every one of the roads travelled." Rob Scorah in Classic Cars Magazine, February 2006.

"Lively, page-turning writing and quite superb photography combine to great effect." -- Cornish Guardian, 15th December 2005.
