We have a page on our site about these guys and their great product - the Chinkara.

For the last two years, we have been getting at least a couple of visitors to that page, every single day! That's almost 1400 visitors. Very good indeed for a niche product, I say.

Have Shama and Guido ever visited our site? I don't know. Long back, I mailed them, and they did not reply. Too busy, I guess.

Today, I came across one news item about them and their Chinkara car. It seems in 2003, Guido had an accident in the Chinkara. Luckily he was not hurt, though the car was slightly damaged. It was the headline of this story in Indian Express that I found hilarious - First desi sportscar has first desi crash. Very funny.

This is one couple who is having a great deal of fun in their life, I am sure. They are in Alibaug, they make speedboats, they make the custom Chinkara roadster, and now recently in Mumbai, they unveiled their ATV (with a kinetic-honda engine) and the Chinkara Jeepster. I barely managed to get a glimpse of it on TV. Nothing at all on the Net about their new vehicles :(

Shama and Guido, if you ever visit this page, please use the feedback form on www.dancewithshadows.com and write to us. We really would like to feature all your three vehicles on our site. Do let me know how I can get in touch with you.

Thanks,
