Driving 15,000 miles from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in a record-breaking twenty-three and a half days, Tim Cahill's Road Fever is a hilarious account of a preposterous journey, a breathtaking tour of North and South America, as well as a veritable how-to for pulling off cheeky scams to get ahead. All in the spirit of getting his name written into the record books.

Told with the humour, knowledge, and propriety-be-damned attitude that have made his other adventure books such critical and popular successes, Cahill embarks on his fastest, funniest trip yet. He reveals everything there is to know about surviving South America on a diet of beef jerky and Farmer's milk shakes and getting General Motors and the Guinness Book of World Records to subsidize his wanderlust.

Tim Cahill is one of those rare types whose fun quotient seems to increase in direct proportion to the diceyness of the situation ― San Francisco Examiner

Tim Cahill has the what-the-hell adventuresomeness of T. E. Lawrence and the humor of P. J. O'Rourke ― Conde Nast Traveler

J. K. Kelley

frenetically-paced, often amusing travelogue

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 20. Juli 2000

Cahill, a fellow who does interesting things and writes about them for a living, went with Garry Sowerby of Canada on an endurance driving trip from Ushuaia in southern Argentina to Deadhorse, Alaska; this is the story.
Where Cahill succeeds most here is in descriptive talent. From his conflicts with Sowerby to the smells of the inside of the vehicle to the terrain around him to the encounters with customs officials of a dozen nations, he never fails to paint a credible and interesting picture. Tim has always been good about telling the story even if it makes him look foolish, and this sense of literary integrity is strong here.
The only thing I felt a little shorted by was the virtual lack of any description of any activity between the US/Mexican border and Fairbanks. I can imagine them blazing across the US and Canada up to the Alcan in a day with no trouble, and maybe not much happened, but the real Alcan gets more interesting as you get into the Yukon and beyond; it seems it was glossed over. If I had a half-star markdown I might use it, but it wouldn't be fair to Cahill to mark him down a whole star on what is otherwise a great book--maybe not much really happened, which would explain why not much is said.
Recommended for adventure travel lovers, particularly those focused on South America.

The Roto Warriors attack the Pan-American Highway.

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 25. Juli 1998

Hunter S. Thompson may be Gonzo, but Garry Sowerby and Tim Cahill are Roto.
Sowerby and Cahill run a GMC pick-up from Tierra del Fuego to Prudhoe Bay in twenty three and a half days, breaking the world record in the process. Possibly even more amazing is the fact they survived almost exclussively on a thousand boxed milk shakes, beef jerky, and instant coffee mixed in ratios that can only be described as 'chunky'. As harrowing as narrow Andean mountain roads are, and boarder crossings made at gun point (literally)...one is left in awe and wonderment of their intestinal fortitude.
For anyone dreaming of such an adverture this book is a real wake up call. All you need is a bevey of sponsers,about three or four hunderd thousand dollars and enough international political contacts to qualify for an ambassadorship... before the trip begins.

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 7. Juni 1999

A wonderful telling of how two roto documentaros travel from the tip of Tierra del Fuego to the North Coast of Alaska while battling time, the elements, gasoline bandits, leftist revolutionaries, pit searches, PR men and the dangers of sparkling water based instant coffee. The surreal scene of the impromptu press conference in Quito, Ecuador, with our intrepid author fielding questions while Garry is busying promising death for the mechanic who modified the electrical system on the truck, is worth the price of admission. I'm only disappointed to see that Mr. Cahill has yet to finish the sure-fire bestseller Furry Fury which he gives a sypnosis for early in the book.

The funniest travel book I have read in years

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 18. Januar 2000

The story of this great journey by Garry Sowerby and Tim Cahill in driving from the tip of South America to Alaska in 23 1/2 days is told with such humour that any reader will be laughing out loud as they read about their adventures on they way to setting a World Record for this journey. The drive at times is very dangerous as they cope with so many different countries and political regimes on their trip south to north but their spirit and humour keeps them going as they go 'roto' and even catch 'Zippy's' disease along the way.

Don't be surprised if it starts something.

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 15. Mai 2000

I've always loved Tim Cahill, but I REALLY loved this book. I'm planning an epic road trip myself, and for a while was wondering what gave me the idea to do this -- then realized it was from reading about the moment Cahill's mind snapped and he and his partner "went roto" in Peru. Don't be surprised if you too also want to go "full-tilt roto" and hit the road.

I AM NOT MAN, I AM ROTO

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 12. Januar 2000

LOVED THIS, GAVE IT TO MY FRIENDS THEY LOVED IT. ONE EVEN GAVE ME A CAP THAT READS 'I AM NOT MAN, I AM ROTO' - CURIOUS, THEN READ THIS BOOK, IT'S A WINNER. PROBABLY THE FUNNIEST TRAVEL BOOK YOU WILL EVER READ, AND BOTTLED MILKSHAKE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!

Solid, but not the typically adventurous romp Cahill normally takes you on.

Other Cahill books have been more engaging, I have read them all. Still a good read, but more journal or log than the typically adventurous romps Tim will take you on.

Entertaining account of a world record attempt

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 15. Januar 2013

Verifizierter Kauf

Tim Cahill keeps you interested as he recounts the triumphs and travails of his world-record run from the southern tip of Argentina to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska with Garry Sowerby in 1987. Actually Gary Sowerby is the world-record driver, and Cahill describes himself as the "comedy relief." With self-effacing humor, Cahill does not hide his foibles during the trip. He also keeps the tension of the moment as they received bad or conflicting news, encountered problems they hadn't considered, or just got on each others nerves after long hours with little sleep. His character sketches of the people they meet, from German tourists in southern Argentina to locals in Colombia, are funny and well drawn. He includes interesting facts about South and Central America of the late 1980s. The further north they get, the less he has to write about that would appeal to North American readers.

The language can be a bit coarse at times, so it may not be the best reading material for your pre-teen child. It also isn't quite the classic travelogue to stand side by side with Mark Twain's _Roughing It_. Even so, it is a great read for self-described road warriors who like to drive for the adventure of it. The anecdotes about the people they met and the situations they found themselves in make you wish the trip were a little longer.
