Meet Grievous (Simon) our trusty mechanic and ambassador of optimism. After spending a year living with the guy and his 4 cars I have no doubt that we will go the distance in our little car. Throughout my time living with him in Dunedin he thrived in a garageless and cheap tool environment that was our early student days.  En route to Mongolia there will be no luxury of a workshop as well, the only difference being 3 less cars to worry about!

One of the worlds biggest optimists, if told to fix the car with popsicle sticks and a few pieces of string im sure he will consider it.  Any non believers will be met with the rhetorical comeback of “so?!”

Famous projects include: “Matt Black”  - the car that just keeps going (I think it still goes).  That little chopper motorbike he won in laser tag that just wouldnt stop either, im seeing a trend here…

All in all not a bad bloke, our trusty mechanic Simon (Grievous)

If all else fails he will get the tractor going
