Following a series of small teaser images released on the company's site, the lads at IndianAutosBlog suspect the concept to be a successor or "close relative" to the Jimny/Gypsy.

Five ways to improve F1


Emerson Fittipaldi in his heyday © Sutton Images
In an interview in the Times, former world champion Emerson Fittipaldi’s outlined his five-point plan to enhance Formula One. Cut costs “They spend a fortune in wind-tunnel testing alone. Reduce costs and the slowest teams would catch up and make it more even.” Limit downforce “They need to reduce enormously the downforce in the cars, the only way to bring back overtaking. We need more mechanical grip so that you have longer braking areas, can set up the car coming out of a corner, get in the slipstream and then overtake.” Close the pitlane “When the safety car goes out they should close the pitlane. Now it’s just a lottery.” Lift ban on team orders “It is a very stupid rule. It’s why they are called teams, it’s why they have two cars. If a driver is leading in the championship, everything has to go in his favour. What is wrong with that? It’s so easy for teams to camouflage their orders anyway. All they need to do is tell one guy on the radio he has a problem with his brakes. They can bend the rules very easily. In the old days they would even swap cars, so why do we have this ban now?” Retain traditional grands prix “These places are the soul of racing. The Americas are under-represented. We have Canada back, but there is no USA, no Argentina, no Mexico. We need to stay in the heartlands.”

Wives or Girlfriends view on your hobby ?

Hi Everyone !

Just curious of what your spouse or girlfriend has to say about your hobby ?

Me ........ I happened to be married to a wonderful woman that supports and encourages me in my hobby. Our first date was a trip to the LHS then to dinner, Said she liked it ! I knew she was a keeper right then ! Wink Been together for 12 years and married 7. Doesn't complain about spending time or money ! ( well maybe a little on the money , but only like the time when I spent $500 in a little over a week on kits ) Smile, Wink & Grin I always show her what I've bought ,no sneakin in kits ! That would make her madder if she found out, than any amount of money I spend !!

She is always interested in my new projects and attends shows with me ( not as much now as in the beginning ) it kinda gets boring for her spending hours at a show or contest, with a bunch of smelly modelers, !Ick! ( She said that, not me !! )

So let's hear it Guys !  What does SHE THINK ???

Happy Modeling !

Dave
