I think they should be bring back as alchol fueled cars for the poorer classes.  It is an accomplishment that Guyana was able to make them.

why solely for poor people? bio diesel can power heavy machinery and ethanol based fuel can support most gasoline based engines.

 

Indeed we should be manufacturing these and other small engines. The ceaseless importation of last decade technology in our recycled cars is hostile to our environment and contra any semblance of a low carbon strategy celebrated by the fake environmentalists in the PPP.

I cannot see those rich sell out Americanize Guyanese using the Tapir.  They would prefer to put their wealthy traitor a-ses in BMWs/Lexus.

guyana never make the tapir,they only assamble it

says who?

 

The tapir was invented in crabwood creek.

Yuh rass stupid or wah, Guyana mek tapir.  True da engine and differential wah impoorted, but da ting was mekk in Guyana.  Dem bin even gah wan cantess fuh di name and da Tapir name win.  Abie donk hay know how fa do tings but alyuh up deh sendin' remittance an' peeple geh lazy raass.

 

PNC teach we fah mek tapir, radio, claath, glass, frige, etc.  PPP teech abie how fa dance and mek love.

Tapirs were first assembled by AINLIM at Ruimveldt in Georgetown.

Plus we had Greco radio and GRL Fridge.

Shoulda woulda coulda, the chant of the intellectual deficient. Guyana does not have a manufacturing base and it is not the job of govt in a capitalist society to be producing cars as many of these dunces suggest. Let the fellows from Crabwood creek open up factory to produce car if indeed it is feasible. hahahahaa

I see we boy Albert takin a lil break deh, or is pray he praying.

Correct! It was  in the  early to mid  70s. While  the  body  was  manufactured  locally,  the  engine ( Vauxhall Viva) ,  differentials and  other  parts  were  imported  from  England. In  the late  70 early  80s with  foreign  exchange restrictions  and  spare parts  scarcity the  Tapir survived  only  in  the  Upper  Corentyne through  innovation cannibalization and  radical modification.  Many  were  retrofitted  with   Datsun  and  Toyota  engines and  modified spares. Unfortunately,  creativity and resourcefulness of  Guyanese  trade  people are  not   encouraged and  recognized until it  is too late,  as was  the  case  of  the  locally  manufactured  busses in  the  50s & 60s.     

Thank you for clearing this up for those who profess to be Guyanese yet haven't an iota of knowledge about their country. They should learn not to shoot their mouths off before loading their brains.

Well said! And that really is the crucial point. Manufacturing leads to positive spill overs and require ingenuity in other areas and in turn that ingenuity feeds back to manufacturing. This does not happen in gold mining or the cocaine trade. It is a pity this nascent auto sector did not continue. What Guyana did back then was revolutionary. That's how cars, computers, smart phones, airplanes, etc, are made today. No single country makes an entire product. That early industralization if properly nurtured could have resulted in Guyana today being a participant in one/more of the components of the global chain of auto. Perhaps windscreen, brakes pad, wipers, and more. Guyana made an excellent refrigerator and stove back in the days.  

so what happen to the fireside,who invent that i think the ppp should claim this one it will be the first for them

You sound like a very intelligent person. A product of the August Holidays Term no doubt. Have you thought about a career in politics?

If we can't have a steady supply of electricity we can't do anything. Period.

 

The PPP been in office for 20 years complaining about how bad the PNC was for 28 years and thiefing the money while complaining rather than try to make some real progress. 20 years of complaining and the country still has no continious power supply.

Absolutely. Yet we have the money to give a thieving hyena a pension of $180,000.00 annually. The Chinese are laughing all the way to the bank right now. Amaila Falls will be a goldmine for them.

Bhai,

Welcome the great wise one..Warrior. He hails from unknown parts of the world and professes to be the authority on any and everythng. However, watch out for his "you is". It's very difficult to really understand what he is saying if he writes 2 or more sentences. I ask that you have some patience with him.

soon you ppp fools will run out of names to use on this site guyanese son.i bet you mean kwame bitch

suh...wha PPP mek?

A Tapir is ah wild pig

After rereadin both posts, Iman dead wit laff.

Bug---Guard-_See you are more stupid than you look.  The aim of the capitalist in a capitalist society is to destroy all competition to protect his/her profit.  It is the role of the government to protect and help the small businesses.  If those people from crabwood creek try to build that tapir on their own without the Guyana government protecting them then they would be crushed by the large foreign car companies who are protected by their governments. 

 

so you is one of the big boys why you did not say so in the first place i am sorry now if you was a big man you will be pulling my uncle donkey cart and you is not stupid just dull you did get my joke

Your uncle has a donkey cart? That clears things up. He must have found it hard to replace you. Are you similarily employed now?

If the AFC ever be blessed to rule Guyana, the leaders will work our people like a jackass down on his knees. Folks, please take note when a donkey can't go any further and Ramjattan would still hoping he will get up and go. Ha, ha, ha...I get a good laugh. Hello TK, how's thinks?

Nope the folks in the AFC are well aware of the pitfalls of a dankey cart economy. See:

One for the ages............to be framed....

yes i am doing stud duties now you will expect some little ones in your house hold soon

That's incest........

Should be pinned to the top for the rest of the year.

The government in Taiwan started companies and once they were successful the factories were then sold off to private investors. The UK government did more or less the same. In China many companies are owned by the government. Renault and Peugeot are owned by the French government.
