Poor Man's Car
The ambitious Rs.1 lakh car by Tata Motors would hopefully be launched between 2007 and 2008 even as the company said factors like inflation and cost of steel may make it difficult to maintain the price line.
"Tata Motors would go into tooling for the car, which would be launched in 2007-08," Tata Sons chairman Ratan Tata said on Tuesday.
Asked whether the company would be able to keep to the price announced, Tata said that hopefully, the car would be launched at the same price.
He, however, said that it could be difficult to hold the price in many ways like inflation at that time, value of the Rupee, and cost of steel and other factors.
Asked to comment on scepticism by other manufacturers, particularly relating to safety features of the Rs.1 lakh car, Tata retorted: "They were also sceptical about Indica".

Hero Honda Glamour
Taken straight from the powertrain of Splendour, Hero Honda's new NextGen bike Glamour has got just the right ingredients to be another hit...
It comes with a horizontally-mounted 125cc four-stroke, single cylinder engine and the Co. says it will give 5kmpl extra than the Super Splendour... It's priced competitively around Rs. 46k range for the base model and the higher end one (with a disc brake and such) is available at around the 50k mark ex-showroom.

Please read!
Sanjay, a rich guy, loved fast cars and he did have a few in his possession. He loved to speed and could not be bothered about breaking speed limits. Many a times he was caught by the cops and speed radars, fined, but still he never bothered until......
One day as he was driving at a very high speed as usual, he saw a cop following him. The cop overtook him finally and asked him to stop and checked his license. He then took out his pad and started Writing, and then handed over the sheet of paper to Sanjay.
How much was this one going to cost?!!!
Wait a minute......
What was this????
Some kind of a joke? Certainly not a ticket.
Sanjay began to read: "Dear Sanjay, once upon a time I had a lovely daughter. She was six when killed by a car. You guessed it - a speeding driver's car. A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free. Free to hug his three daughters. I only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until heaven, before I can ever hug her again. A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man. A thousand times I thought I had. Maybe I did, but I need to do it again. Even now. Pray for me.. And be careful, Sanjay, my son is all I have left."
Sanjay turned around in time to see the cop's car pull away and head down the road. He watched until it disappeared. A full 15 minutes later, he too, pulled away and drove slowly home, praying for forgiveness and hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived.
Life is precious. Drive Safely!!
