WHEN HE TUK A THREE-WHEELER FOR A RECORD RIDE

A Herald Feature

BY MELVYN MISQUITA

  With hundreds of rickshaws all over Goa, why would anyone bother to give a 
second glance at yet another three-wheeler? 

  But heads began to turn towards one three-wheeler on the evening of April 
12, as this was no ordinary vehicle. The driver was no ordinary person and the 
journey was far from ordinary.

  The three-wheeler happened to be a multi-coloured and brightly lit rickshaw 
from Thailand, better known as the Tuk Tuk, and the rider was a jovial French 
food and beverage manager, Didier Vacher, who was on course to break a world 
record.

  As soon as Didier's Tuk Tuk reached Panjim, motorists and pedestrians began 
to notice the unusual three-wheeler on road.
