Hello,

Just ran into this that looks suspiciously like a diesel

Certainly does They usually use singles but I can't see one pulling that lot. Maybe it's a twin?

That really is quite the practical rig there! Looks like it's very well built too? Considering the economics there and the modes of transportation commonly used it sure would be useful. Stylish too!

I think we often forget that until recent years the horse was the chosen and means of transportation. We still find most of our towns in the American west separated at a distance of a day's journey by horse. Today we know nothing of slow, casual trips and are always in a break neck hurry to GET THERE NOW! Must be nice to live in a land where slow and easy is the rule of the day?

That rig is from india, where the rule of the day is to drive like an insane maniac and hope you don't die horrifically.

Actually, I wondered about just that??? Was it a casual, easy going, nothing's too important type culture or more of the furious mindless chaos variety. I guess it's more the latter. And yeah, it seems to work until it kills ya.

India is a form of organized anarchy with some really hair raising roadways. It must be a very interesting place to live, but only if you are the right caste. There is a lot of corruption as well.
