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.
Loved it! Sturdy writing is fueled by nimble pacing and an entertaining, engaging style in this fascinating look at a very special vehicle! Aussie Invader 5R is a rocket-powered car built to smash the world land speed record. It has the power of 200 Formula One cars; its goal is to exceed 1,600 km/h (1,000 mph). The tone is positive and upbeat. It's educational without sounding like school. Lively illustrations will captivate young readers and keep them turning pages until the very end. A list of Words and Terms, along with a scannable QR code for their explanation, is included. There's also a Weight and Measurement Conversion Chart. This book will appeal to budding mechanics, aerospace engineers, science and technology buffs and anyone who's ever dared to dream big, felt the need for speed or thrilled to hearing ""let's kick the tires and light the fire."" Oh yeah. Reviewed by Kristine L (Goodreads)
