Rupal Paul, who often goes by Marcus online, was born and raised in London, United Kingdom. A qualified Mechanical Engineer involved in many engine and vehicle designs, including Jaguars, Aston Martin, Acura, Honda, and heavy-duty truck engines. He currently works designing and developing racing engines. Marcus also writes Sci-fi Novels in his free time.

He emigrated to the USA about fifteen years ago. He’s always been strongly drawn to the nomadic lifestyle in the States. He travels alone across the USA in his 1964 MCI MC-5 tour bus, “The Dreadnought.” Marcus owns several vehicles, some of which he was involved in designing, and several projects, from Jaguars to old classic Mopar muscle cars.

His current nomad lifestyle involves many stationary periods. He will transition to a more mobile lifestyle in the bus in the future. It’s been said that a nomad doesn’t feel stable when stationary but feels stable when experiencing velocity. This quote encapsulates Marcus to a Tee.

Marcus acquired Dreadnought, a 1964 MCI MC-5, in 2012 when it was already converted. He finished tailoring it to his specifications and style in 2022 using a combination of his own design work and work from various suppliers. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s mostly done now.
