An excellent read,
This review is from: Who Needs a Road?: The Story of the Longest and Last Motor Journey Around the World (Paperback)
I originally purchased this book as I have a keen interest in old Toyota Land Cruisers however soon realized this book is a pure delight - the people and their stories are very interesting. I couldn't put the book down. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Who Needs a Road?: The Story of the Longest and Last Motor Journey Around the World (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. I bought the book because I'm interested in old FJ40's, but this book was a great adventure book - a tale that no words could possibly describe. However, it was a fun read, as you felt like you may have been in the backseat while the other drove you around the world.
