Along the way they destroyed cars, sparked diplomatic incidents, set fire to caravans, almost killed one of the presenters, and somehow transformed Top Gear from a shabby BBC Two motoring show into an Emmy-winning, record-breaking, planet-straddling behemoth.

Story
Carroll Shelby wasn’t born to run. He was born to race - some of the fastest cars ever to tear up a speedway. The exciting new feature film Ford v Ferrari - starring Matt Damon as Shelby and Christian Bale as fellow racer Ken Miles - immortalizes the small-town Texas boy who won the notorious Le Mans 24-hour endurance challenge and changed the face of auto racing with the legendary Shelby Cobra. But there’s much more to his high-velocity, history-making story.

Since we last heard from him, Guy Martin has restored a 1983 Williams F1 car then raced Jenson Button in it; helped to build a WWI tank; ridden with Putin's favourite biker gang the Night Wolves; competed on the classic endurance circuit; stood on top of one of Chernobyl's nuclear reactors and taken part in his last ever Isle of Man TT. Then there's the stuff he really can't wait to get out of bed for: 12-hour shifts for a local haulage firm and taytie farming in his new John Deere tractor. Besides all this, he's saved his local pub from closure and become a dad.

Treacherous roads, unpredictable weather and turbulent politics challenged their stamina.

Proof that God changes people
I was blessed to read Paul's testimony and the changes that he has made in his life because he has a personal relationship with God. His story is very relatable on many levels. He is honest, transparent, vulnerable, and encouraging. His story is one of hope and encouragement. He honors his dad very well in this book, and if you have had issues with your own father, this is a good book to read. He is proof that you can rise above the crap and be a man of God, regardless of how you start out in life. He is also proof that God uses our past to make us better in the future.

My family and I have always been fans of American Chopper and even visited New Orleans in 2003 to see the Teutuls. I really enjoyed listening to Jr's side of things as I always felt sympathetic for Jr and the relationship he craved with his father. This book definitely was worth the "read" and I am so glad that they are back on!

If you could sum up The Build in three words, what would they be?
Raw, risky and heartfelt!
What did you like best about this story?
Just Paul's heart, it is so clear that he is on the right path.
What does MacLeod Andrews and Paul Teutul Jr. bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Paul reads the first chapter himself, wow he is so real.

I am a motorcycle enthusiasts, but not necessarily with choppers. I watched American Choppers because I was interested in the mechanical portion of the show. I really enjoyed the stories Paul, Jr. told from behind the scenes experiences & mostly about his Christian faith.
