Friend of mine bought a Mahindra tractor, wanted to see what it was. Made
in India.

They have a line of light SUV type vehicles based mostly on the original
WILLYS Jeep!

I like quirky vehicles...that's why I got into Toyota in the first place!!!

This is their 'export' range, there are more, but no cars.

If the quality of their cars is on par with their off shore software
developers, than we better stay away from these 'cars'.

I've worked with Indians (the ones with the target on their
forehead...) and found them to be ok....but a giant pain in the a.s.

The worst thing in the world (well maybe not the worst) is to have a
problem....call tech support....and get that friggin accent....LOL

It's tough over the phone when I can't watch their lips, but in person I
would rather talk to an Indian that almost anyone else with a pronounced
foreign accent. I just love their pronounciations and they way they sound.
Indians have the most lyrical and enjoyable accents of almost anyone I can
think of.

Eastern Europeans, on the other hand are tough for me to converse with
even if I'm staring them right in the eyes.

Tell me, man! Why do you think I have been 'washing cars'? All the friggin
jobs have gone to India.

The trend is reversing, tho, and a lot of the jobs are coming
back...finally.

Still waiting to hear from 2 interviews I went on (one was very promising
with a second interview) and three more I forwarded resumes to.

They have just launched their first 16 valve model, 8 of them are in radio
!.

They do a cabriolet version, you might know it as a skip (USA translation
=dumpster)

You can have the option of twin exhausts fitted and then use them as a
wheelbarrow

Make sure you get the heated rear window option, keeps you warm when you are
pushing it

They do not export them to Israel because you have to be a complete prick to
buy one

They make non practical vehicles along with Rokstar jeeps, that come
with factory rust and petrol engines that are more economical and usable
than a diesel. And even the petrol engines are poor.
