Ah, good point. Makes me feel even better that I didn't spend my savings on a plane and hotel. Great writing as usual Chris!

I have to say that I'm disappointed that you did not make it there.
I wish you went there and test drove it, this way you could attest to the improvements of the US version vs everyone else! Plus you lost a good opportunity to meet the "who is who" with US Mahindra!!

Thanks so much, Andy. My instinct was to drop everything and hit the road (like Jay did!), but I’m on a low budget as well and really had to justify whether or not this was a real scoop. Mike Levine drove these trucks in August, so we’ve gotten a glimpse of them. Jay has kicked out a ton of great info on his reports. My only regret is not meeting people face to face, and that I would probably be a little less censored than Jay is. But I’ll be at the US-spec truck launch… with bells on!

I think a lot of the people on the forum would want to be there too, minus the bells though...

Must be a lot easier and cheaper to write a story about a test drive that got away.

Okay, no bells! But I will be there for a TR whoopin'. From what I understand, India is calling the shots on the launch date. We'll see what happens.
