As You Do: Adventures With Evel, Oliver, and The Vice-President Of Botswana Book

The wry honest and often hilarious chronicles of a very brave and clever TV presenter Arctic Explorer and general drawer of the Short Straw.

Africa where he falls in love with and repatriates a stray car and the US (once to be chased by Rednecks in middle America the other in pursuit of his mad hero Evel Knievel); his passion for cars what he owns and why and although he loves his wife why it is a toss-up whether he says hello to the wife or the cars first.
