The Team

SHAKE ‘n BAKE BABY!!!!

This team is a highly sophisticated group of 4 talented, driven,handsome young men who since having all graduated from engineering, have evaded the working world in search for life’s  greater challenges. The Mongolian Charity Rally – CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Team Shake ‘n Bake is proud to introduce to you:

    Name: Rob Christian

    Nickname: Handsome Rob ( Obvious isn’t it? Not from this picture, sure but still, he is a charming devil)

    Team Position: Night time Navigator, Day time handbrake, Petrol Attendant and Minister of Mayhem and Finance.

    Special Power: Face melting beauty ( Can be turned on) which works in conjunction with his Rapid Beard Growth (RBG) abilities. Rumour has it that he is the hulk…

   What’s his story?: Handsome Rob is wise beyond his years. He has travelled the world solo, twice, to make a point. Currently on his “indefinite” gap year, Handsome has found the meaning of life beyond consumerism. This nomad survived walking the wild coast of New Zealand rationing himself to one pomegranate seed a day for a month. Survival skills are the valuable assets he brings to the team. Handsome Rob, its an honour to have you on our team.

     Favourite quote: “Life is too short to be taken seriously” – Oscar Wilde

    Name: Stuart Blackbeard

    Nickname: The Monster

    Team Position: The Sacrificial Hostage, Team Clown,  Maintainer of Hydraulic Systems, Gym Instructor

    Special Power: Jaw-dropping dance moves that stun the enemy. Driving boats while not watching where he is going.

    What his story: The Monster is the biggest brand ambassador for the energy drink Monster. That armband never leaves his arm. One would say he endorses Monster but the truth is Monster doesn’t even know who he is. The Monster is also 7 feet tall which adds value to his name. The Monster brings thousands of kms in rally experience. He has just completed 2000 km along the east coast of SA in preparation for a 10 000km “Putfoot Rally” through Africa. He catches a flight the day after completing the “Putfoot Rally” for London where he will join Team Shake ‘n Bake for another 16 000kms. You go son. The Monster – your die hard attitude is vital to the Shake ‘n Bake mix. We welcome you with arms wide open.

    Name: Michael Schmid

   Nickname: Iron Mike

   Team Position: Combat and Tea specialist, Pimp our Ride Designer, Negotiator,  Bedtime Story Teller.

   Special Power: He can literally kill you with a match stick in 37 different ways. Then bring you back to life with 17 different tea recipes. His analytical deductions can predict the future which are “100% accurate 83% of the time” (Quote/unquote Iron Mike).

   His story: Elon Musk, Iron Man and the cartoon “Dexter’s Laboratory – Boy Genius” were all inspired and based on the life and business of Iron Mike. Dexter’s Laboratory accurately depicts Iron Mike’s childhood days where he was identified as a man who would change the world. At the age of ten, Iron Mike tutored Elon Musk ( age 32) on how to handle the immense powers of ingenuity. They now regularly have tea together and discuss politics. Needless to say Iron Mike’s “Iron Man” suit ( Named after him , the suit is not made from Iron – Mike know’s that’s a poor material choice because it just rusts.) was perfect for a movie. Iron Mike’s “Schmid Industries” was called Stark Industries and he was replaced with the character Tony Stark. It goes without saying that Team Shake ‘n Bake is truly privileged to have on board the great Iron Mike. P.S Any chance Schmid Industries could sponsor Shake ‘n Bake?

  Favourite Quote: “Every man dies but not every man truly lives”-Historically “accurate” from William Wallace…

     Name: Jon Oldnall

     Nickname: Maverick

     Team Position: The Gingerneer, Grand-Master-Poser-for-EPIC-Pictures, Nutritionist, Official Tyre Changer, Golden Retriever and Life Coach.

     Special Power: Light reflecting skin/ invisibility, ability to chase a ball anywhere in any country.

     His story: Maverick, the Gingerneer, the Golden Retriever. Simply put, he is a giant amongst men. Having developed the physique of a Greek God (Hercules to be exact), Mav spends his free time posing around the world, particularly in the Mother City of Cape Town with beautiful models from every corner of the globe. He lacks the ability of retaining colour as his bare, hairless chest shows but what he lacks in slightly burned pigmentation he makes up for with sheer brawn and brains. Combining his mighty biceps and intellect, if ever Shake ‘n Bake gets into a predicament, it is safe to say that Maverick will be there to save the day. He once towed the Titanic to its current resting spot on a dare and then decided to push the Tower of Pisa over to the left, just so people could take silly pictures. In short, he can play any sport known to man and this will be handy when besting border guards in Uzbekistan at their national sport to let us through because the Monster messed up our visas.

 Favourite quote: “He knows not where he is going, for the ocean will decide, it’s not about the destination but the journey of the ride” –  Zen Dogg (Dee Oh Double Gee!!!)

Well that’s all fans. That concludes Team Shake ‘n Bake. The carefully selected team members have successfully covered all the vital skills, expertise and experience required for delivering a vehicle to Mongolia… in working order.

Like they say, “What’s the worst that could … stuff that lets SHAKE ‘N BAKE BABY!!!!!!!!”
