I love speed, cars and mechanical problems. All the proceeds from my books goes towards supporting the Aussie Invader 5R project.
I was born in the UK and emigrated to Perth, Australia, in 2004. I have always been fascinated by cars, mechanical problems, land speed record cars, and drag racing. I started building cars at 15, and have been working with Rosco McGlashan for 16 years on Aussie Invader 5R, which has been built to smash the world land speed record and reach 1,600 km/h (1,000 mph). Your support and feedback mean a lot. I read every review personally, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect with readers who share my passion for speed, engineering and innovation.
ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth, is full of incredible stories about Rosco's drag racing and land speed record career. It has 395 action-packed pages and 180 incredible photos of Rosco’s life, cars, and racing career. Rosco’s V8 drag bike and jet dragsters take him to drag racing tracks all over Australia, the USA and New Zealand. These races lead to amazing and funny adventures that will leave you speechless and wanting more. The story isn’t over yet. Rosco is building the most powerful car on the planet – Aussie Invader 5R!
