That's a fact indeed! the grapevine has it that Mahindra will introduce it latest Thar in the UAE market pretty soon. waiting to see how and it goes

Trivia #1 Parade magazine called it “...the Army's most intriguing new gadget” The gadget was “a tiny truck which can do practically everything.” General Dwight D. Eisenhower said that America couldn't have won World War II without it. The tiny truck was the Jeep, built at the time by the Willys Truck Company. {Many explanations of the origin of the word jeep have proven difficult to verify. The most widely held theory is that the military designation GP (for Government Purposes or General Purpose) was slurred into the word Jeep. A counter to the slurred GP theory was that the vehicle was designed for specific duties, and was never referred to as "General Purpose". It is also suggested that soldiers at the time were so impressed with the new vehicles that they informally named it after Eugene the Jeep, a character in the Popeye comic strip and cartoons that could solve any problem. The word jeep, however, was used as early as 1914 by US Army mechanics assigned to test new vehicles. In 1937, tractors which were supplied to the US Army were called jeeps. A precursor of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was also referred to as the jeep}.

Thank you Marjan @Jeepie for the wonderful drive; from small technical dunes to the big-red, ridge-riding, crisscrossing and lovely climbs on the bowls - it had everything.

HI Richard @Wrangeld, i changed my car to a Grey Jeep 4 door couple of weeks back; have updated the same on my profile. P.S. Have already done a fewbie and a fewbie+ with the new one.

Sounds very exiting Richard @Wrangeld. Looking forward, see you and rest of the gang tomorrow morning.
