Two weeks and not one Landcruiser, Landrover or Pootrol to be seen . Every two lane road has four lanes of cars and everybody drives around the dogs , goats , camels , cows etc on the road .
Indian people very nice , food very hot and we have all had the dreaded Delhi Belly - part and parcel of any trip to India I guess .
Looking forward to getting
home and having a steak , potatoe in it's jacket and a salad .
Happyness is a dry fart ,
Willie .

Yes , Mahindras were probably the most common car in India . They looked like jeeps and I failed to see if they all had a front diff .They are used as taxis in the rural areas and the record we got to see , was 18 people in one - three standing on the back bumper where they have an extended "comfort standing (clinging?) area " , one on each running board and twelve inside .
The record we saw for a motorised rickshaw was eight plus the driver .
While there we drove down the wrong sides of freeways , overtook two abreast , ran every red light where there was no police and tooted non stop for two weeks - no , I was not the driver thank God .
Cheers ,
Willie .
