Raiders of The Lost Rickshaw haven't posted any updates yet.
You're typical uni student (Studying Engineering at the University of Warwick) that drinks far too much but I have a passion for cars! Can you count a rickshaw as a car? I think not but coming full circle, Im a Uni student and this is what my budget could stretch too so it will do!!! Hopefully my engineering back ground will help to provide some ingenious fixes to the many problems our rickshaw will suffer ultimately to realise that Duct Tape and WD-40 would be the better option...
Without doubt I am the best driver hence I'm sure most the driving will fall to me and Rushab due to giving Tyler a dishonourable discharge from the wheel or whatever we use to steer this contraption...
In the past I've done a lot of work with children who suffer from disabilities large or small. Hence I have a massive soft spot for one of the charities we are helping - Phab. Its a great cause and it really makes a difference so everyone donate some money to us! It all goes to them!!!
Warwick student and, after a few beers self-proclaimed brains of the operation. Hopefully my proficiency in Hindi will help us out of many a sticky wicket, and engineering expertise will likely prove invaluable for the many inevitable breakdowns. The latter, unfortunately, is exacerbated by the fact that the two of us alone bring the rickshaw’s payload to 200kg – nothing, of course, that a particularly acute case of Delhi Belly can’t ameliorate…

“Accidentally” selling a teammate
Describing myself should be easy, but I’m as much of an enigma to myself as I am to anyone else. Like my two comrades, I am a born and raised Londoner, a rugby player and monumentally ill prepared for the approaching debacle. Unlike them, however, I have chosen to take a gap year before studying at McGill University in Canada. I thus figured that one more near death experience before returning to the books, in addition to my juxtaposed balance of arrogance and self loathing, would serve me well.

Once described as
“An insufferable gym bunny with all the sartorial flair of damp baguette”
Three hopelessly misguided students - Tom Golding, Rushab Shah and Tom Tyler - engage in their most ill-advised endeavour yet.
From northeastern Assam province to the Southern Tamil Nadu, join these brave adventurers as they stumble, roll and crawl along the vast expanses of India armed with nothing but their rugged good looks, some horrendous tropical diseases, and a criminally unsuitable vehicle known as a rickshaw. That's right. A rickshaw. 100kg's, 145cc's and 3 wheels of mechanical genius, dragging our young heroes across the subcontinent in a series of breakdowns, crashes and arrests.
So go ahead! Like, donate (to charity, of course), sponsor! God knows these arseholes need it.
Warwick Youth Phab
