‘A journey that I don’t think could be made again today’. It
was this comment by Sir David Attenborough on the fiftieth
anniversary of the iconic First Overland expedition that became an
irresistible challenge for filmmaker and adventurer Alex Bescoby.
In 1955, Attenborough, then a young TV producer, was approached by
six recent university graduates determined to drive the entire
length of ‘Eurasia’, from London to Singapore. It was the
unclimbed Everest of motoring – many had tried, none had
succeeded. Sensing this time might be different, Attenborough gave
the expedition enough film reel to cover their attempt. The
19,000-mile journey completed by Tim Slessor and the team
captivated a nation emerging from postwar austerity. Tim’s book,
The First Overland, soon became the bible of the overlanding
religion. Inspired by the First Overland, Alex made contact with
now eighty-six-year-old Tim and together they planned an epic
recreation of the original trip, this time from Singapore to
London. Their goal was to complete the legendary journey started
more than sixty years ago in the original ‘Oxford’ Land Rover.
In awe of the unstoppable Tim, and haunted by his own
grandfather’s declining health, Alex and his team soon find
themselves battling rough roads, breakdowns and Oxford’s
constantly leaky roof to discover a world changed for the better
– and worse – since the first expedition.

Slaughtered along our highways and byways, roadkill may be observed
by American motorists regularly, but aren't likely to be given much
thought. Research scientists, animal rights activists, roadkill
artists, writers, ethicists and lyricists, however, are
increasingly sounding the alarm about its prevalence, reporting
that we are killing the very animals we love, and are literally
driving many of them to the brink of extinction. Detailing the
death and destruction of our favorite mammals, reptiles,
amphibians, and insect pollinators, this study examines the ways in
which we are jeopardizing our own futures as our vehicles destroy
wildlife large, small, and essential. Beginning in the era of the
Model T, university biologists counted the common carnage of the
time-cottontails, woodchucks, and squirrels, mostly-and that
record-keeping continues today. But beyond reporting the bleak
statistics, zoologists and their citizen scientist friends are both
rerouting trails and migratory paths of animals and are advocating
for man's best friends in our cat and dog companions. Examining
these activities, this work illuminates both our successes and
failures in keeping animals out of harm's way and what those
efforts reflect about ourselves and our capacity to care enough to
alter the road ahead.
'A band of stubborn pioneers rose from the embers of Britain's
cities after the war and created the finest automobiles the world
had ever seen... High Performance tells the exhilarating tale of
their journey' Ben Collins, bestselling author of How To Drive
'High Performance is a cracking read and an adrenaline-packed
tribute to the time when British mavericks "blew the bloody doors
off" the competition' Sunday Times In January 1964, a team of tiny
red and white Mini Coopers stunned the world by winning the
legendary Monte Carlo Rally. It was a stellar year for British cars
that culminated in Goldfinger breaking box office records and
making James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 the world's most famous sports
car. By the sixties, on road, track and silver screen the Brits
were the ones to beat, winning Formula One championships and
capturing hearts. Designers like John Cooper, and Colin Chapman of
Lotus, dismissed as mere 'garagisti' by Enzo Ferrari, grabbed all
the prizes, while Alex Issigonis won a knighthood for his
revolutionary Mini. The E Type Jaguar was feted as the world's
sexiest car and Land Rover the most durable. But before the war
only one British car had triumphed in a Grand Prix; Britain's car
builders were fiercely risk-averse. So what changed? To find out,
Peter Grimsdale has gone in search of a generation of rebel
creative spirits who emerged from railway arches and Nissen huts to
tear up the rulebook with their revolutionary machines. Like the
serial fugitives from the POW camps, they thrived on adversity,
improvisation and sheer obstinate determination. High Performance
celebrates Britain's automotive golden age and the mavericks who
sketched them on the back of envelopes and garage floors, who
fettled, bolted and welded them together and hammered the
competition in the showroom, on the road and on the track - fuelled
by contempt for convention.
