I'm tempted by this..

Rickshaw Rampage #2

It's back to spectacular India for this 2,000km rally in an auto rickshaw (a.k.a the motorised eggshell). See the wonders of Tamil Nadu, the tranquillity of Goa and the hustle of Mumbai whilst trying desperately not to die at the hands of oncoming buses. Think of it this way - you'll never complain about traffic jams and bad driving in the UK ever again! Following the success of the 2006 event we've added an extra 1,000kms of (almost) road and ordered in some extra monsoon rainfall to add to the fun. So grab some mates and get yourself down the pub because you need to do some serious preparation this one. Firstly, what's your team name, secondly, what outrageous modifications can you make to your Rickshaw to claim the title of "Pilau Pimp Daddy" and thirdly, you might want practice your pointing skills as there are 23 official languages and over 1,600 dialects in India.

cannot view at work, says link is pornography... thought the rickshaws were damn expensive to buy though?

Anyone fancy putting into a Rickshaw a 20 vt engine?

Now that would pimp it !

You'd need more than poly bushes to stop that thing torque-steering you off the nearest cliff.

you could rig up a 3 x wheel drive for that extra traction!

In a similar vein, but I'll be doing this next year as a follow-up to the Mongol Rally this summer:
