Father and son are extremely proud of their handmade wooden car

An innovative wooden car made by a father-son duo has been attracting visitors in Patiala, south eastern Punjab, northern India. Powered by a Maruti 800 engine, the entire body has been carved out of teak.



The petrol-driven car stands out because of its design. The brains behind the unique car, Amandeep Singh owes it to his carpenter father. Amandeep said he encountered a major problem when he had to fit in the engine.



But their persistence paid off and their happiness knew no bounds when it first hit the roads. The father-son duo had to put in 12 hours daily for two months to complete the car, which cost 400,000 rupees (£4,400, $6,400).

But driving down the lanes of Patiala in the new car with people looking with awe makes their day. Mohinder Singh, a seasoned carpenter, gave the perfect shape to the car conceived by his son.

It's very pretty, though personally I'd have added seatbelts.

An Indian friend of mine recently commented that when children play with toy cars in the UK, they go "brrrm-brrrm" whilst in India, they go "peep-peep" given the road culture which is practically "the person with the biggest horn wins".

Okay, I've got my fortune made. Going to export aa-ooga horns to India.
