Team The Japanese Mercedes

Joe

Joe Carney, BSC, SSC. Athlete, thinker, snickers lover (or marathon if thats your thing).

Myself and the Japanese Mercedes Team conquered the Rickshaw Run in 2012. It was already clear that this was only the beginning.

New Team, new continent, new vehicle and new adventures! I'm once again taking time off from daily stress meltdown at a software company to have daily stress meltdowns, this time in the Amazon and the Andes.

Although feeling fitter, healthier and more productive being a seasoned Adventurist I know that you can never be prepared, and battle plans never survive contact with the enemy...

This is going to be awesome...

Emmanuel

Emmanuel White.

Man, myth, legend...mainly man (97.3%).

A dynamic, self-motivated, self-starting, game-changer with an unequalled drive and tenacity to achieve results. If you've had the pleasure of knowing Emmanuel then congratulations are in order. If not then you've arguably got some work to do (and a lot to look forward to).

This journey shall see Emmanuel's unquenchable thirst for knowledge and discovery continued. The Japanese Mercedes are go!

Nicholas

Nick the truthkeeper, formally Nick the liar enjoys the finer things in life. Coffee, Birmingham City Football Club and Saturday kitchen live with the tactful James Martin.

Nick decided to accompany Joe on the Rickshaw Run when he came to terms with the fact that Joe is his Idol. Nick was further excited at the prospect of embarking on a trip of a lifetime when he discovered his fishing partner Emmanuel was also going.

Nick is hoping the trip will brighten up his somewhat forlorn nature and is over the moon to be travelling once again with his two best chums.
