Buy this book, support the dream!

Gear heads of all stripes will find something to love in this book. From outrageous tales of brushes with fame (and infamy), to detailed explanations about how rockets (attached to cars) work, the unlikely lives of Rosco McGlashan will delight and entertain. A welcome and much needed addition to the history of motorsport and a celebration of one of the sport’s great characters.

Brilliant Look into What Drives People

I have read many “stories” on peoples lives and what drives them ,this is an excellent insight into the goals of a legend. Lots of us will stand on the side lines of life and watch others go for the goals we wish we had the balls to do ourselves, then we go back to our safe lives and jobs with money in the bank. Boys and girls like Rosco give 110 % commitment, financially, mentally and often physically chasing their goals so we can all look on in awe. Keep up the dream for all us mere mortals.

Epic read!

Absolutely fascinating read showing that with drive and determination, no matter your background, you can achieve great things. Very easy to read, funny and poignant at times. A real look into what it takes to achieve a dream. Excellent read, highly recommended for everyone, not just speed freaks.

The final chapter is yet to be written

It’s actually really hard to describe this book and, more importantly, this bloke’s life. Putting things very simply, Rosco is a bloke who has taken so many hits, he probably should just lay down and give up. But instead, he stands back up, gives the knockers, the missed opportunities, and the failures the bird and keeps ploughing forward. This is no ordinary bloke.
Well written, this book captures his amazing life on a blow by blow basis, the trials and tribulations of the fastest Aussie on Earth. You only hope that soon, he also gets to have the title of the Fastest Man on Earth. With his determination, it can’t be far away…

Ripper Read – Couldn’t put it down

A truly inspirational story. The book tells of Rosco’s journey from a very difficult childhood to becoming the fastest Aussie on earth. His ambition and determination to succeed against the odds are truly inspirational. His warts and all account of a very colourful life is well written by his friend Mark Read. It makes very interesting reading.

Go, Aussie Invader 5R!!

This is a raw, real story about a truly remarkable project that only exists because one man has steadfastly refused to give up on an incredible childhood dream. What an amazing journey! I want Aussie Invader to get that land speed record even more now.

Wonderful read, the best book I have read in many years.

From the moment I picked up this book and started reading, I found it difficult to put it down. It was a compelling read with lots of amazing things I could empathise with. It was also very well written and easy to keep things in context. Congratulations to everyone involved in this truly outstanding project.

What a Great Book!!

I read this book in record time for me, I just couldn’t put it down. I don’t know if this is Rosco’s first book but by the quality of the chapters and the easy flow of the book, it would seem that he has published hundreds. This book details everything that is the Aussie Battler and it is very humorous all the way through which is another Aussie trait. Thanks, Rosco and Team for a thoroughly interesting read and for the laughs!
