Summary

A treasure trove of informed and entertaining travel stories from the internationally acclaimed tractor historian and author, Ian M. Johnston; this book is a compilation of the author's memoirs as he travels in search of rare tractors to photograph, often finding himself in bizarre circumstances, with strange people and in remote locations. Whether he's thundering along a US highway; being brandished with a Kalashnikov machine gun by Romanian frontier guards; or catching the one and only ferry to the remote Outer Hebrides - all in search of sighting an old classic tractor - Ian has a light-hearted style of writing, that enlightens, entertains and informs and is guaranteed to make you smile.
