    Old is gold, but it needs polishing to shine
    Vintage vehicles are results of wheel invention
    They are by automobile evolution.

    We are being in the new millennium, with the new economy, enjoying the benefits of latest technology.
    In telecommunication, we are fortunate that we carry tons of information in pen drives and communicate the world, just with a click. The electronic media is cheap/free, faster, and instant, today.

    On the other hand our vehicles are struggling to carry and pull the weights on wheels. We consume expensive fuel by sacrificing huge amount of our exchequer and in return get reward of huge air pollution and sound pollution, by our multiplying vehicles.

    Why can’t we use the enormous weight (of people and goods) for millions of miles per day, on wheels, as a pushing force, (instead carry and pull them by force)?
    Why can’t we make a revolutionary change in our land transport?
    How can we accept the telecommunication with sky high progress, by leaving the transport to struggle and suffer on land, to pull and carry with expensive and exhausting force?
    Being Transport and communication, a prime (twin) sector of the economy, how can we keep one step on hill high and the other in deep valley?
