Introducing The Sumo

Ray started looking for a used vehicle shortly after we arrived in India. He put A LOT of time and effort into checking out different vehicles and had gotten basically nowhere. Finally he had resolved to purchase a new vehicle. A Tata Sumo to be specific. When we arrived back from Siliguri Samuel had come across a 2005 Sumo with only 51,000 kilometers on it for half the price of a new one. It seats 10-11 people including the driver which will be very helpful for transporting students and our soon to be arriving guests. So this is the McMillan family's new wheels.

I think we should name it Samson. Samson the Sumo. :)


Here is Ray driving it for the first time. If you've ever experienced Indian traffic then you'll be concerned about that, but don't worry we are hiring a driver.
