Most people will tell you Born Free when you ask them which is the first film you’ll associate the Land Rover Defender with, and they’d be wrong. Brand Land Rover did play a crucial role in the movie starring Virginia McKenna as Joy Adamson and Bill Travers as George Adamson, the couple that saved Elsa the lioness. In fact my first memory of a Landie is that particular film. Yet, you’d be inaccurate to associate that Land Rover with the Defender. The thing is, the ...

Although the laurel of becoming the first motorcycle with a factory fitted fairing as standard, goes to the BMW R100RS back in 1976, should you Google the model you’ll realize that it was...
Ever wondered what living with a Ducati feels like? Let me tell you. For me, personally, it is out of the ordinary!

Don’t get me wrong, the Monster 821 is a work of art, but maybe in Mumbai traffic, it is still work in progress. How did I l...
Even on the road from the airport to the hotel, it is impossible to not marvel at the irony of it all.

Auto Expo – The Motor Show 2023: A Rundown
India’s popular auto extravaganza, Auto Expo – The Motor Show 2023, returned after a hiatus of three years and despite a few shiny new products on display, it seemed to have lost much of its sheen.
