Load Luke
Canuck Luke Bisby is the "responsible" one, which frankly doesn't bode well for the Khannonballers. Despite being an engineering professor at the university of Edinburgh he has few practical skills... although he is ambidrivestrous and is totally comfortable driving on either side of the road (or desert). He doesn't respond well under pressure. Wish us luck.
Craig
Craig 'the Jock' Warren is the petrolhead in the team. He has a PhD in Engineering from the University of Edinburgh, speaks three languages (English, C, and Matlab), and despite many comments to the contrary thinks he can make a career out of progressive rock drumming!
