Tim Moore - indefatigable travelling everyman – switches two wheels for four as he journeys across Trumpland in an original Model T Ford.
Lacking any mechanical knowledge or intuition, he sets off to bully a car from East to West armed only with a top speed of 25 mph, a fan belt made of cotton, wooden wheels (again) and a truckload of ‘wise-ass Limey liberal gumption’. His route takes him exclusively through Trump-voting counties as he travels the nation meeting the everyday folk who voted red, or rather orange.
Along the way he drives through the disintegrating rust belt, Detroit – the spiritual home of the Model T, through the mid-west, cowboy country and finally threading he way through a lonely stretch of Oregon, ‘where everyone is either a lumberjack or a prison officer’. And he needs to do it in three months before the wall goes up and he’s booted back to Blighty.
With his trademark blend of humour, perceptive insight and peril, Tim Moore gives us a unique vantage point into Trump’s America.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Tim Moore - indefatigable travelling everyman ? switches two wheels for four as he journeys across Trumpland in an original Model T Ford.?Alarmingly full of incident, very funny ? even mildly transformative? Daily MailLacking even the most basic mechanical knowhow, Tim Moore sets out to cross Trumpland USA in an original Model T Ford. Armed only with a fan belt made of cotton, wooden wheels and a trunkload of ?wise-ass Limey liberal gumption?, his route takes him exclusively through Donald-voting counties, meeting the everyday folks who voted red along the way.He meets a people defined by extraordinary generosity, willing to shift heaven and earth to keep him on the road. And yet, this is clearly a nation in conflict with itself: citizens ?tooling up? in reaction to ever-increasing security fears; a healthcare system creaking to support sugar-loaded soda lovers; a disintegrating rust belt all but forgotten by the warring media and political classes.With his trademark blend of slapstick humour, affable insight and butt-clenching peril, Tim Moore invites us on an unforgettable road trip through America.
