Jonah,

If past experience with M&M is anything to go by, the buggers will end up putting in an underpowered engine and piss poor electrics! One can always hope they get it right though... if they do I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one...

Cheers!

mahinda has improved its image quite a bit with scorpio. Lets hope they make this a good all purpose vehicle for army

400 BHP will be a good upgrade from my 65 bhp esteem.. hehehee

Gather the entire vehicle was developed in Israel and offered to India by a private builder (Ido Cohen) that has a wide experience in developing rock crawlers.

Read the wiki saga about the Axe... the first para seems to be a jumble of self contradiction... while overstating the indigenous aspect.... the last two lines : "The Mahindra Axe has been developed by a team consisting of Indian and international designers. Some components of the Axe are being imported too" seem to go in a different tangent.

Thanks sat for the confirmation and the nice pics.

No complaints about the effort though. I only hope the civilian version will be more affordable. Then I wont mind owning one

Sat,

Thanks for that link. I particularly like those Gypsys in Desert Raider garb.

Do you think the cops would object if I mounted an airgun on mine?

Here, have a look at a locally built Rock Crawler we use in these parts.

Very very bad memories but we used to do that during the riots in 1990 this bloody SHila Nyas and Babri Masjid time.

A citizens Aman comitee had been formed and along with a few policemen we used to Patrol in an open Jeep all night shining a spotlight in alll the bylanes, discouraging miscreants and keeping at bay the troublemakers from all communities.

Inder paaji, Jag jao. saarey kauwey ud gaye

What a pic !

Inder seems to have undergone a complete transformation.The mother of all makeovers

Autocar India's current issue has a review of the Mahindra Axe.The interiors are something that I might have designed.Lots of scope for someone like Mack The Knife to show his creativity.
