looks like a real POS, I guess it will keep the rain off of their heads, but lets see them stack 10 bales of straw on this......

I wonder how much they will go in the US?

no way that will pass safety standards here, unless you want to use it on a golf course

Oh dear.

IIRC from reading an earlier article, the wheel bearings are so lightweight that sustained speeds over 35 MPH are not advised.

Oh ye of little faith. A set of roof racks will easily get the required 1 ton carrying capacity.

You are the POS. I opened this thread expecting to see.....

Nothing a 2x4 wedged between the roof and floorboard can't fix.

We talk about $1,000 beater cars....imagine the fun that could be had when these things depreciate to $100 beaters.:D

Its very good, excellent population control, in one go, entire families of useless fodder ruining the nation would be wiped out. Only sad thing is that I have to deal with this nuisance when I visit down there. My Gurkha would just run over this and squash it like a bug.

New TATA or comparably-priced 10-year-old Buick Century? Your choice?
