NATIONAL SHAME - no national car

Bumpy ride to Pakistan's first homegrown car

Feroze Khan believes his future was already determined when his homeless mother gave birth to him on a car porch. More than half a century later, he has launched Pakistan's first home-grown automobile.

It's been a long road for the boy from a poor Karachi neighbourhood whose life-long fascination with engines, gears and wheels has just driven his native country into the exclusive club of nations designing and producing cars.

"Every nation in the world has taken a lot of pride in making cars, and I wanted to contribute it to my country," says a proud Khan, whose Adam Motor Company has just rolled out his pride and joy -- the Revo.

The compact, five-door 800cc model has made a splash on the roads of Karachi in recent weeks. The snub-nosed model costs 270,000 rupees (about $4,500), some 30 to 40 percent cheaper than entry-level rivals.

That is a MiG-29 fighter aircraft. Bangladesh Air Force's most modern fighter jet. I will post a link to the MiG-29 page to you later on.
