Talking about 4 up

[CougarSlayer]

Was checking out this new nano car and saw this clip.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ9iNZeUOe4&feature=related. Pretty interesting my wife is from India and she said its a common occurrence but is the first time I ever saw a family riding one motorcycle.

I wonder what rear spring and preload setting he uses.

1.  Sounds like a thumper 
2.  The mom is sitting with both legs off one side.  Like a "proper lady" should ride!   

[junior varsity]

you mean "side-saddle"?

[Monster Zero]

If that dress goes into that rear wheel she's gonna be sari.

i could understand no ac, no power windows, no radio, none of those (use to be barebone american cars!) but NO POWER STEERING?

Has anyone over there every tried to parallel park or drive slow with no power steering? its almost impossible. to turn the wheel without the car moving a bit, even then its freaking hard as hell. I guess we cant complain about our heavy clutches anymore.

Uh, yeah, I have.  In fact, I passed my drivers license driving a 1959 Ford Custom stick shift.  I was 17 years old and weighed 155 lbs - not exactly a he-man.

Parallel park a car w/o power steering?  Yeah I did it for years in classic VW's it was no problem.

The tire contact patches are minimal and the weight is way less than on the behemoth cars the US manufacturers make now.

[johnster]

Jeez Louise..    I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

Didn't Hitler coin the Volkswagen name?... aka, "people's car"?? 

[He Man]

Uh, yeah, I have.  In fact, I passed my drivers license driving a 1959 Ford Custom stick shift.  I was 17 years old and weighed 155 lbs - not exactly a he-man.

now i feel like a pansy.

eh, the car might weigh 1500lbs, they should be fine...

My first official driving lesson was in a '56 Oldsmobile with manual steering.  My first car was a '57 Ford with manual steering.  Most of my pre '87 cars had manual steering.
