How the bedford trucks and buses are still running despite no imports of these anymore?

Sir why general tires are not that good in pakistan?

Every single piece of them is made in Pakistan. The engine blocks can be redone over and over again too. The cyl heads were being made in Pakistan for the longest time.

They are good for the purpose they serve.

One point which a lot of Pakistani car owners are confused on is "limits of grip" and they 100% concentrate on the tires because the tire sales shop/importer/distributor told them so. Forget chassis, forget suspension, forget design, forget brakes, forget everything - just tires will grip.

how many times have you heard this "sir aap ki civic ke speed zyada hai, general tire local hai, masla karega ya brusst hojaiga" ye pirelli pzero nero lagalein - sirf teen laakh ke hain special aap ke liye. - phir aap meter down kejegaa 260 ki speed ka.

And why people are sticking to bedford and not moving to the modern trucks. These trucks are also called as Rocket trucks.

Xulfiqar (Xulfiqar) 2021-09-22 11:58:21 +0500 #26

Reason

There is no law that makes such trucks obsolete, if transporters can make money on cheap loader, they will!

Ford wagons are also still plying in different cities as local transport and loaders. I think their parts are also locally made like bedford.

Xulfiqar (Xulfiqar) 2021-09-22 20:19:24 +0500 #28

Yes

Ford transit panels and parts are locally made, most dont have the original ford engines though.

The one thing I've been seeing a lot nowadays is a phenomenon called Kabuli discs... Like if I go and get new discs and give them my old discs what they'll do is resurface it and somehow it'll magically become a Kabuli disc imported from the house of Mr Toyoda himself..

Xulfiqar (Xulfiqar) 2021-10-09 06:36:08 +0500 #32

Do you actually measure the discs before purchase?

I have seen ads from the 2000s, but I really want to see one from the 1990s since the only ad I remember was of beige Honda City and Civic on a magazine from 1998.
