Strewth it's going to be a long way



So having seen the evidence is anyone else tempted by 4500km in one of these beasts?

View a selection of photos from the test drive by clicking here or follow the link in the sidebar ->

Things we learnt from the test drive:

1. We can drive around a flat, grassy field in a tuk-tuk - just traffic, potholes & evading pedestrians to master then!

2. Never, under any circumstances, does the driver get to eat curry for lunch.

3. Tuk-tuk manufacturers don't apparently see then need for a fuel guage in their machines.

4. They existence of suspension also seems to have evaded them.

5. Exiting from a moving tuk-tuk requires grace and agility, which fortunately I have in spades...
