Never Mind the Bullocks: One Girl's 10,000 km Adventure around India in the World's Cheapest Car

From the Publisher

"Able's 10,000 km road trip trundles through the bits often left out of tourist itineraries - with a few romantic divergencies - creating a rich snapshot of a colossal country."—Wanderlust

"An exhilarating, funny and thoughtful travelogue. For good measure, Never Mind the Bullocks throws in a proper love story as well - beginning in Bridget Jones knockabout style when the man she's invited to join her arrives just as she's suffering an acute case of Delhi belly."—Recommended Read, Reader's Digest (UK)

"It’s a fabulous book and such a good read. People should have a look at it, it’s such a crazy journey and I take my hat off to you." –Bill Padley, Talk Radio Europe

"A hilarious account."–Kat Ormond, BBC Radio Oxford

“No need to read further when planning a 10,000km trip on India’s classically rubbish roads. How about a Toyota Land Cruiser? Which is exactly not what Vanessa Able thought, for reasons known only to herself, she was determined to do this trip in a Tata Nano and she did. Remarkable she is still alive and her account is wittily entitled Never Mind the Bullocks.”–Rhod Sharp, BBC Radio 5 Up All Night

"Terrific and terrifying in equal measure: a life-affirming, death-welcoming journey around the world’s most dangerous roads in a wheeled toaster oven."—Tim Moore, author of Gironimo! Riding the Very Terrible 1914 Tour of Italy

"Vanessa is a gem. Her writing is as effervescent and refreshing as diving naked into a lake of Champagne."–Olly Smith, TV presenter and author

"Vanessa Able is doggedly intrepid, deliciously acerbic, quite keenly inquisitive and quite possibly mental"—Jaideep VG, Time Out India
