Pimp my rideShort

Photos of ornate trucks in Pakistan (via CSF). Also, an Om-ified Padmini auto (via Neha). The desi aesthetic: sometimes Gaudí, sometimes just gaudy. Horn Please.

Anyone know where I can find photographs of the various "Horn OK Please" signs on the back of trucks in N India?

has probably the best collection of truck art. You can google "pakistani truck art." for more. Oddly "indian truck art" gets no results.

I lurve the web! I saw that exhibit in London recently, e-mailed it to my gyal's filmi friend in Bombay, and now you Amrikans found his post about it. Talk about an e-diaspora. Nothing gets past you guys. ;)

I've been looking for Horn OK Please photos for AGES. They're hard to find, so please post if you find a clearinghouse for them. There is, however, this really cute and random video.
