Driving the Trans-Siberian

‘The Linger Longer: Driving the Trans-Siberian’, an epic 11,000 mile journey across Russia and Siberia in a £300 Ford Sierra.

Driving the Trans-Siberian, the ultimate road trip adventure.

By Chris Raven and Simon Raven

Have you ever had the desire to jump in your car and keep driving to wave goodbye to routine and commitment to drive into the unknown with your arm out of the window, hungry for adventure? Well, that is precisely what twin brothers and UK authors, Simon Raven and Chris Raven decided to do whilst stacking boxes of frozen oven chips in a minus thirty degrees freezer. With a squeaky foot pump and an SAS Survival Guide, the brothers fired up their rusty £300 Ford Sierra and headed east. Not being petrol heads and having very little knowledge of the internal combustion engine, with luck they hoped to reach Poland and maybe even the Baltic State of Estonia – where lived, according to legend, the most beautiful girls on the planet. After driving for six weeks and clocking up over 11,000 miles, quite literally living in the car, they miraculously arrived in the Far Eastern city of Vladivostok in Siberia on the Sea of Japan. What they had in fact done was to drive the entire length of the amazing new Amur Highway before it was finished, which crosses Russia in a 6,200 mile swath of cracked tarmac and potholes. Along the way our trusty heroes drink vodka with Chechen criminals, escape highway robbery, trade banana flavoured condoms with Russian cops, meet the eccentric and plain weird at truck stops in darkest Siberia, endure torturous road conditions and have a race to the finish with the Germans. Surviving this journey by the skin of their teeth, the brothers are forced to confront their worst fears in this toe-curling comedy that is both gripping and surreal.

The Linger Loco

From bull’s testicles in Buenos Aires to bums and boobs on the beaches of Brazil, the Raven brothers embark on a new comedy adventure that leads them through the very heart of the Madre de Dios in the Amazon.

“The modern world has come knocking on the door of one of the world’s most amazing wildernesses, and nothing is going to stop it cutting out the lungs of the earth and thundering right through.”

Along the way our trusty heroes tango through the Argentinean vineyards, cycle to the Moon in Chile, kiss Egyptians in the Inca City of Cusco, escape bullets in Bahia, panic in the Pantanal and experience one night with The Rolling Stones in Rio. Traveling along the notorious Trans-Oceanic Highway from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast of South America the bizarre and the beautiful cross their dusty path, as the brothers pack their pants and go in search of the real Carnival.

Funny, thought-provoking and unique!

By Lucy, US “usagrl” (California)

This third book by the Raven brothers is absolutely brilliant. Unlike any other travel book you are likely to read, the Linger Loco is tear-wateringly funny, candid and insightful. This book is reminiscent of the travels of Ewan Mcgregor and Charley Boorman, yet so much more genuine; these guys have no support crew of employees sorting their visas, arranging accomodation, providing medical care or streamlining the trip. And their enthusiasm for their unsscripted, itinerary-free adventure is really refreshing, compared with the bratty outbursts of McGregor and Boorman. I would really recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the Long Way Down’ genre, but wants a more down to earth, humour-filled read.
