À propos de cet audio
This book tells the unbelievable story of Rosco McGlashan's life, cars and motorsports career. It is a fearless story of guts, grit, and extreme determination. Quitting is not in this man's motor sports DNA. Rosco is an Aussie drag racing champion, land speed record holder and motor racing legend. His early years were extreme, leaving home and school at twelve to start his motor racing career. He fought everyone and everything and, at 17, ended up in prison and even solitary in extreme conditions.
Once released, Rosco finds salvation through his love of speed and raw horsepower. He focuses his fighting spirit and adrenaline on racing and going very fast. His V8 drag motorcycle and jet dragsters take him to race tracks all over Australia and the USA. He meets some incredible people and some extremely dangerous ones! This leads to heart-pounding adventures and tales of danger that will leave you speechless. At 30, Rosco's passion for thrill-seeking turned from drag racing motorcycles and jet dragsters to capturing the World land speed record, a goal he set himself at just twelve. His risk-taking puts him in extreme danger when he gets kidnapped by the Russian Mafia when trying to buy two MIG jet fighter engines in Moscow, and he fights his way out.
He crashed a car at nearly 600 mph when breaking the Australian land speed record. He clinically dies on an operating table when another car he was street racing went off a mountain road. Rosco was revived and broke many motor racing and land speed records. He meets mass murderers and world leaders, then casually chats with the Dalai Lama. Rosco and his team are putting the finishing touches on their latest automotive engineering masterpiece, the World's fastest and most powerful car. Aussie Invader 5R has the power of 200 Grand Prix Formula One cars! It can accelerate to 1000 mph in just 20 seconds. Strap yourself in for a fast ride and one of the most action-packed, high-octane life adventures you will ever read or hear!
