One little bit of news that has caught my eye recently is the fact that Nissan has won its bid to become New York

llmw: yes, sad to hear of that too. But 1950/60s designed fiats would NEED phasing out. Have you ever ridden in any small italian saloon from the 1960s? Its a mostly horrid experience. The only good affordable sedan from the 1960s worth having a go in is the Volvo 122. Things only started getting bearable in the late 1960s when say Fiat came out with the fiat 124. Those were decent small cars to potter around in. BUT not in 2011 mind you.

 

So i suppose in Mumbai's case, a change should be made. Anyway, since they're still producing their version of the morris oxford from the 60s, maybe that should replace the cabs as indian govt officials start phasing them out.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Hard Enduro: The ultimate motorsport?

    I enjoy motorsports of all kinds - four wheels good, two wheels better. And while watching them on TV (okay let's be honest Youtube, who even watches TV nowadays) is fun, getting to partake in anything even remotely resembling it, even in a highly truncated, totally superficial manner, is even more exciting.  Earlier this year, I did a short 2.5 day off-road riding 'tour', and it was easily the hardest, most physically demanding 2.5 days I've ever spent on a motorbike. It really gives you a

    ERP 2.0: Possible positions for your processing unit

    Your OBU's processing unit isn't always mounted on the passenger footwell. Depending on the car that you drive, more than one option may be available! Since November 2023, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been gradually replacing in-vehicle units (IUs) with the new on-board units (OBU). The OBU will pave the way for smoother traffic as we transition to the new ERP 2.0 system that is based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology.  The OBU comprises three parts: An
