    the guy who is the main man behind TATA has irish citizenship..........

    You need to google a bit better ;)

    A quick google threw up these snippets of info. The Tata Group is an old family business led by Ratan Tata. 65.8% of the ownership of Tata Group is held by the charitable trust of Tata. Ratan Tata is an Indian citizen

    Pallonji Mistry is a silent stakeholder in the Tata Group. With his 18.5% stake in Tata Sons, he is the single largest shareholder in the Tata Group. Pallonji Mistry gave up his Indian citizen ship to become an Irish citizen last year

    I'd stick with the tuk tuk. Wondered what the story about those Tata pick ups I'd seen was... for some reason I'd imagined that they were an Italian agricultural machinery company who were brand stretching. Because the Italian civil engineers that were putting in the gas pipes around the country a few years ago had some of them (at least they had them in my area in North Dublin). Nasty big wheel hubs sticking 6 inches out past the wheels though... like those cheap asian jeeps.

    Ratan Tata, (who apparently has Irish Citizenship) chairman of the Tata Group

    Sorry being prick :o , Ratan Tata is not having Irish Citizenship, you might be thinking Pallonji Shapoorji Mistry who has 18.5 % stake in Tata Group, who has given up Indian Citizenship in 2007 become Irish for the love Guiness.



    so it is 18.5% irishness i guess :D

    I had a look at the ones on carzone but they seem to be a lot more than 10k new. I'd be interested to hear where your friends dealership is?

    Another Indian company, Bajaj, who have been market leader in Two wheeler segment has also announced that they will be producing cars by 2010, had a prototype on display and rumor is that its going to be around 3 to 4K euro.

    Thats not all, there's a new F1 team, Force India, 'think its the old Jordan team, now owned by another Indian business tycoon, Vijay Mallya of United Breweries, old wine, new bottle, united breweries, eh?.. ok I'll get my coat... :D

    It retails at $2,500 so we get it in Ireland for €5,000 ;)

    Closer to €10,000 I'd bet
