Tata

Did anyone see any thing about the new Tata car, about 1200 quid, and it looks quite cool really.

They were talking about it on Radio4 this morning. They described it as more like an 'auto-rickshaw' It is being marketed in India to the people who drive Mopeds, etc around - the ones that you see loaded with a family of four with their dog, chickens and suitcases.

I can't see the car being available here for a while, but if they developed a neat hybrid version for the western market, I'd imagine it would do well.

If it's as light as a rickshaw, I can't see it taking off here in Scotland.
Or rather - it would take off, literally, in the first bit of wind!

thats a good point, i suppose you could put a couple of blocks in each corner, i always liked those ones they have in india, i believe with a vespa (scooter engine) but they wouldnt be much good up here either, with the wind and the hills.

When it's really windy up here and I absolutely HAVE to go out in my little Nissan Micra, I weigh it down with a few bags of feed... Amazing what an extra 100kg in the boot do to the stability of the car.

last wednesday i was by tarlair in mcduff , watching the sea and walking the dogs whilst waiting to pick my partner up. and i swear my van actually left the ground on one side for an instance, it is a high top, but the wind was pretty strong

my heart goes out to you like a poor lepar with your skinned knuckles and grubby finger nails. you can get counciling and therapy but it is seldom a complete cure. a bit like malaria it will recur in later life as a fellow sufferer i know what you are going through

Quentin Wilson gave it a good write up, he reckons it could be the biggest ever selling car in the world.
