    My review of Filipino Jeepneys =]

    Is it practical?
    Oh yes defiantly, you can fit a good 20 people in one.

    Is it economical?
    They are made from retired military jeeps from WW2 so yes =]
    Recycling is good for the earth isnt it?

    Is it fun to drive?
    Ummm no, its a diesel.

    Will it break down all the time?
    If your a cheap bum and won't maintain it then yes, but money shouldn't be a problem since if you own one most likely your going to be using it as a bus.

    Is it easy to park?
    Not at all, they're usually longer than a Ford Excursion and handles as well as a semi-truck.

    What if I go to a Shopping Centre and get chased by baddies in a Corvette?
    Then your going to die.

    Is it green?
    It can be, depends on what you want it to look like!

    Can I afford it?
    Yes, you can get a new one in the Philippines at about half a million Pesos, so in USD that comes out around ten grand.

    What If I'm asked to take part in a beach assault with the Royal Marines?
    Hope it floats and if it does your going to be fine =]

    Nice review!

    The Japanese have their Dekatora (sp?) and the Pakistanis have their versions of their trucks too.

    Very intricately designed.
