Obsessed about everything with an engine in it. Nationalist. No fluff, hard talk.

@NsNitinsinha Tyres are perhaps the most underrated aspects for most car owners.
I changed my Slavia’s shoes to Continental UC6 straight out of the showroom on Day-1. Got a good deal too.

Totally! Always stood by that.

Great choices I made: Fiat 1.4 Fire, Ford 1.5 DV5, VW 1.5 TSI Evo, Mahindra 2.2 mHawk - blessed to have owned these gems, truly enjoyable.

Bad choices I made: Fiat 1.3 Mjd, Ford 1.2 Duratec & Dragon. Decent engines in their own right, but pale in comparison to those above.

@DelJargon @ValueWithPrem Truer words were never spoken. 💯

@RahulKumar_00 @pRRRadeep Well, that unpredictable weather seems to have returned. It rains cats and dogs for an hour and then gets sunny again.

@Benarasiyaa It would help to understand whether the rent for this helicopter was payed by the taxpayer.

If so, then calling it a humiliation of honest taxpayers would be an understatement.

I had to let go of my 2019 Interceptor 650 after a fuel pump failure; which cracked open and started leaking fuel. Even the washers became super hard, which is typical of ethanol exposure.

Service center just couldn’t explain, and I had to buy a new fuel pump for almost 8K. Sold the bike soon after.

@aapkaapnacamera Yeah well, I have ‘em both. Slavia and Roxx.

Each of them offer a different kind of driving experience and I absolutely love them from the bottom of my heart.

[vmotoring @v_motoring]

@IndianGems_ Let it. Only then will our policy makers understand that real change needs scientific decision making, not merely mic-talk.

At least now, I hope the auto lobby starts speaking the truth.

@R2cky_ @NsNitinsinha Perhaps the effect of rear drums; that the front pads wear out faster. Performance wise I’m very happy though.

We should start imposing a massive tariff on Meta. That should give them a jolt in their back. With the highest level of online penetration, we need to be at the commanding end, not the receiving end.

For the volume of youth in India, we need to dictate. All it needs is a spine to take hard decisions and the US of A will fall in line.

@BhatIshwara @IndianOilcl Hyderabad has just 4 coco outlets listed for XP100. Didn’t find it last week; but I was lucky to get it this week.

A great example of how execution beats ideas 99/100 times in life.

This reality is a direct result of the poorly planned execution and rollout of the E20 program. It is doing the opposite, of increasing diesel Sales.

I am hoping the auto companies will start speaking up now at least.

[vmotoring @v_motoring]

That’s why monopolies are bad. Toyota knows they have no competition so they want to fleece. More so with the Fortuner, which I’m sure will get even more expensive after its facelift.

Eagerly waiting for the Scorpio-N based global pickup from Mahindra.

Competition is always good for the market.

[vmotoring @v_motoring]

@TorqueIndia Very good decision. That large separator in between felt quite tacky.

While the colour theme is great in itself, I feel this specific tan theme will suit the XEV better; while red/black would be more befitting of BE6’s personality.

[vmotoring @v_motoring]

Yep, and in this regard we should appreciate Tata as they are giving a ‘S’ option for some models so that people can opt for a sunroof instead of taking it as standard equipment. Wish everyone followed it, particularly in their top variants.

This was one of the major reasons I got the MX3 variant of the Thar Roxx as I did not want a sunroof or fancy tech.

[vmotoring @v_motoring]

@IndianGems_ Ok, but consumption or production?

There’s a difference, you know?
