"Rocket on 3 wheels"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Oil leaks.

Welded steel sheets & sections broke off causing the vehicle to flip.

Transmission 1 reverse broke. Got it fixed for 200 rs.

Leather seats ripped.

Exhaust pipe ripped off.

Fuel leak.

Head gasket blew at 1000, 2000, 5000 and 11000 miles.

Windshield got stolen, replaced for 1000 rs.

General comments?

This is the best car I have ever owned in India. Very fast 145.45 cc motor. It is 2-stroke and air-cooled. It comes with 6.25 horsepower fastest auto rickshaw ever produced. 4.63 torque lets me pull a cart of milk or hay from one place to another. I used this car for my sisters wedding. Perfect car for wedding purpose. Very big fuel tank, 8 litres. It only uses leaded petrol and diesel fuel. My front and rear suspension are Helical coil spring and hydraulic double acting shock absorbers. Maximum speed is 35 km per hour - the rocket of the road.
