Stupid Sending Off Ceremony

Stupid Shell People organized a stupid sending off ceremony in which they invited the stupid Prime Minister, Yousuf Raza Gillani to show off the stupid 'talent' of Pakistan.

Team Bekaar and Team UET were the only ones to bring their cars in their entirety, while Pakwheelers and Zaafir also brought their vehicles.

Kaar stole the show as the glimmering body made it onto different news channels :-)
Yaay!

Round 3 :-)

Where have I been sleeping?

The idea of Kaar was one of those shortlisted - propelling it into the next round - in IBA's Invent, the entrepreneurial challenge.

This is obviously testimony to the corporate promise of this engineering idea! (Ok, just kidding)

Anyhow, this entitles us to PKR 25k!

FORZA KAAR!

Kaar Driver Unscratched in Accident!

Ok...so I am not good with headlines.

But the news is real...Kaar had an unfortunate little accident that saw the roll-bar crumble down AFTER fulfilling its role. Thankfully, Mujahid, who was with the steering wheel, was unhurt in the minor accident.

Preliminary testing underway!

Blots, Bruises, Burns and a shit-load of Commitment

Fact of the matter is that it is not easy to make a car from scratch no matter how elementary. I have no idea how Ferrari makes the 599 or how Volkswagon makes the Beetle. But for us, making Kaar has literally brought forth our sweat and blood.

Good thing is that we had oodles of commitment towards making this project a success...

With a Ying, and a Yang, and a Yippity-Doo

When it dawned on to us...






A nice day to cap a hectic week. Dawn news was there to cover the first test-drive of Kaar, which finally got going today. Making a separate entry for the test run...

The turning wheels

A little update...

Engine installed, and a preliminary test run was done. Turns out suspension is horribly wobbly. New one to be installed asap.
