Review - Mitsubishi Pajero

I had not even reached puberty, was rather far from it, when I first truly understood the meaning of the much famous phrase for lovebirds – “going weak in the knees”. The feeling of warmth in my heart, having that mesmerized expression in my eyes, feeling lost in our own little world when I used to be with her. Heck yes, I was in love! I remember my mom castigating me for not being like the other boys and keeping home to play with the so-called boys’ toys (read Hot Wheels and He-Mans and Supermans and...), instead I used to be with her, most of the time that I could afford.

Review - Volvo S80

You see, I am besotted by Yamahas. The R1, R6 and MT01 are machines that – I am sure – you would kill your darling mommy-in-law for. Okay, you would kill your mother-in-law even without a reason, but you get the point!  I’ve even had the pleasure of enjoying a Yamaha Waverunner once, and whatever little time I managed on the damn thing, I was screaming with pleasure. Why, you would ask, am I talking about Yamaha in Volvo S80’s review? Well, that’s because I have reasons. All 315 of them, in fact!

Review - Mercedes Benz M-Class (ML 320 CDI)

The moment it was fixed, I immediately decided that the first thing the Mercedes Benz ML 320 CDI will be subjected to is something called ‘girlfriend-approved’ test. You see, my lady – she detests whatever I love under the motoring umbrella. She likes cutesy hatchbacks like the Zen Estilo. Me? I hate it. From the bottom of my heart. To the core. Don’t, not even for a moment, think that I hate small cars. I love them. But the Zen Estilo? No thank you, I’m better off on a bunch of berries.

A train that never stops - concept train from China

I was forwarded this video and think that the concept is really cool. Sorry for the language of the video being Chinese, but I am certain you guys will be able to understand the concept and working principle of the concept train easily.

 

Iron Man 2 - as good as it gets!

Iron Man 2 is making waves. Have not watched this movie yet, and can't wait to watch it! Check out the teaser.

Costs a bomb - if only you don't care.

This was an eye-opener. For her. My friend owns a six-year old, 70,000km run Hyundai Santro and she’d committed the worst sin that a proper petrol-head can ever imagine. It is so sinister that even in the book-of-automotive-sins, it exists as a highlighted item. She took the car to a local workshop and got it serviced from a local mechanic because Hyundai’s authorised workshop was not accepting cars for service for a couple of days and she was in some sort of a hurry. It cannot go all that wrong that the car will not run, she thought. And she was right to some extent. The car was indeed running; only that you’d not feel like driving it – it was a mess.
