Well my heart is really set on this thing called a Tempo Cruiser
Classic made by Force motors - they tell me its very popular in
rural / farm areas. Great sheet metal - I heard it was a Merc
design. Anyone had experience driving one? Or any other like
driving suggestions? (fyi... The wife said ok on this one!)
Now, I wimped out and picked up a farm-model* land rover preassembled
-- but I understand that, if you're a Real Man, it's possible to
order one (CKD) that shows up at your place as a bunch of parts on
pallets, so that you can have all the fun of wrenching it together.

* as already pointed out, the ride is not what one would expect from
a modern passenger car (nor even some of the fancier tractors I've
seen). But this vehicle is perfectly at home getting to alpine
pastures, has better angles than a jeep, and will tow up steep grades
even in the higher gears, so unless these Bangalore potholes are more
than say, 40" in diameter, I doubt they'd be an issue. Of course, if
clearance is a real concern, better to go for a Pinzgauer instead.
