From Trevor Crowe’s childhood escapades growing up in a working-class Christchurch neighbourhood, to his formative years in and around the motor trade, and his long list of successes, achievements and the challenges faced along the way, As the Crowe Flies shares the epic tale of one of New Zealand’s great adventurers.
For many, Trevor is best known for his motor-racing exploits, but he is a
competitor in every sense, far beyond the racetrack. From running marathons,
tackling the Coast to Coast, and even risking life and limb in the notorious
Maratón Náutico del Río Balsas Mexican powerboat race, his story is an
inspirational one.
This most remarkable Kiwi, with his ever-positive attitude, boundless energy,
and addictive sense of humour, works alongside author Steve Holmes to chronicle
his most fascinating life, a life lived to the full.
