Standing Tall

To “stand tall” means to behave in a brave, proud, or unyielding manner.

We check out the car to make sure we are right in our views. Volvo Auto India is bringing in the new Volvo XC 60 in one and only one variant --- the D5 Inscription model.

“The new FORCE GURKHA XTREME 4X4 from Force Motors is a true definition of a real beast. It may have a bland cabin but when it comes to its engine, transmission, transfer box, suspension and build, it’s every off-roader’s dream come true. Mind you, this vehicle is not for those who love to be pampered by a host of electronic buttons and up market upholstery. Off-roaders as well as the entire defence forces in the country will find this vehicle a real value for money.”

“If at all we can get close to the great electric vehicle dream, it has to be through the hybrid route. Hybrids are of two kinds, mild and hard. Hard hybrids offer a lot of value and the all-new up market TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ELECTRIC is the right example of a perfect hard hybrid. Typically for every 1000km you drive in this vehicle around 500 odd kms are run using electric power.

Man has always had an innate desire to fly. Maybe he was curious about what lay beyond the clouds in the vast skies.

It’s when you step off the mundane path that you get to realise there’s an adventure awaiting you.

It was not very far from my office; rather it was just the ideal spot to go cycling on one like the Firefox Soulfly.
