[luckey007]

Have you heard about "Dandu ford"-Don't know model no-,

and VW "Ambulance model" and Sunny "Redda ussapu model".

[luckey007]

The VW beetle is also called the "Foxo-gan" or the "Gemba car" right?

Foxogan or Foksagan is how the name Volkswagen got used to local folks same as Peugeot got used as Perjo, Peugiot and parjo...

I remember back in the 90's when the first motorcycles that had the daytime running lights (ie new Yamaha TZR125) started appearing on SL roads, they were quickly called "on light" models haha

Just a few thoughts on how SL vehicle advertisements might look like in 2025 - 2030 (if anyone is lucky enough to live by then)

- 2010 Prius for sale - Rs. 8.5 mil negotiable (since its a Toyota, the value will increase, BTW the 141 will be like 15 mil).

Converted to kerosene oil (since the battery pack is busted, and petrol is Rs. 7500 a liter).

Only 15000km Genuine mileage.

Solar panels converted to sunroof.

Push Start (as in, push the car to start - Since the push button won't pop back after being pushed for so many years)

Intelligent key (Only the key knows when the circuits will work, so keep on pressing)

etc.

Note - Absolutely no offense intended towards Prius owners. Couldn't think of any other car which would survive till then.

Do you have a feeling that Prius will survive until 2025-2030? I don't think so.Have you ever seen the Most selling and Most hated both awards won by one car?

...Sunny "Redda ussapu model"...

may be the local equivalent of 'face-lift' with a bit of drama.

kichi kichi delica is very popular in the hill country and they still sell for a mighty buck.. as u dont need the engine for braking... so the buggers go up the hill on engine and come down with the engine off.. mostly used for deliveries..

kichi kichi delica is becuase overtime the van starts to make a "kichi kichi" sound it seems and no one knows how to fix it.. so it remains making the said sound..

facinating neda.. story from folks in the hill capital...

[Parak]

This looks very similar to the bus that we used to call "Yaka Bus"

Corolla 110 face lift model called as 'Crystal light' model.

[luckey007]

may be the local equivalent of 'face-lift' with a bit of drama.

Actually you can see the under carriage, springs,fuel tank ...etc when you see it from the back. Theres no need to peep.I will post a pic if I found one.

It's not a 'face lift', i'ts 'A** lift' bro.
