As I stir the Bolognaise sauce....
If we are to build a car where do we start? I'm mean how 'made' is it? Do we take existing wheels, axels, differentials, suspension, gear-trains, steering and practically everything engineering wise- from existing components?
If so is it a creation or a reanimation as in Frankensteins monster. There is a huge culture of adaptation in the car market.
Who is our target consumer? What is our budget to make? To sell? Do we look to other initiatives such as the original peoples-car, Volkswagen and the french Deux Chevaux, 2CV. Designed expressly for the french peasantry to move several haybales, dlzens of eggs and some livestock to market. Thr roof came off and all seats unclipped, the ultimate low cost utility vehicle. The luxury model was the Dyane.
The Pak-pleb consumer wants a great looking high-tech product, for nothing, not something that looks like a deranged rickshaw?
Perhaps safety could be our strong point? Intellegently armoured against rogue-motorcycle encounters?
Should craftspeople help us design the car? Drawings from our malis, tailors, lawnmower-makers? Crossing boundaries within the craft community.
They describe it we design it for them? Drawn,photoshoped collage?
They draw it (too) I think.
Is there a step-by-step process we go through as revealed through the show? Market research, design, fabrication and marketing?
Do we weave the show through with real issues? IE car import pressure group activities, out-flow of capital, urban vehicular pollution, car ownership demographics?
Brain-storming names:
Visa, Koel, Nazgul, Cash-Deposit (as the bike) Buttmobile? too Punjabi?
Roti, Kapra aur Mehran
Roti, Kapra aur VISA-automobile
The only Visa you'll ever need.
This Visa will bring the whole WORLD to you!

I was observing the various vehicles on the road on my way home from david's.
And I thought:
Why side saddle, when you can ride side by side!
Be closer to your family &
Be safe!
I envisioned a long bench type car where the whole family sat as if in a pew holding hands and smiling.
I couldn't stop laughing and now my driver is sure I am mad!
(Then of course I had visions of women flying off motorbikes)
