CONFESSIONS OF A PETROSEXUAL MIND


Some like to drive. Others like to cruise. This refers to the category of persons that belong to the former.

You know you’re being driven by Petrosexuality when-





  1. You agree to go on a long drive with your wife or girlfriend, with the primary objective of being behind the wheel.
  2. You are driving down to your workplace which is 45 minutes away, inspite of a Metro station having been built just 50 metres away from your house.
  3. You segregate your music CDs, based on the music that you listen in your car, versus the music that you would like to listen at home. Rarely shall the two overlap.
  4. The first word that came out (correctly!) from your mouth, as a child, was not Ma, or Papa, but “Car.”
  5. When coming back from school, you would detest going back in the family car, for the love of being in the school bus, with all your friends, sometimes also conscious that the bus has a stereo but your car doesn’t!!!
  6. You still wish you could sit in a remote corner and still play with some of the “dinky” cars that you were crazy about as a child, so that others wouldn’t make fun of you.
  7. When returning home driving, knowing that there are two routes after having arrived close to home, you take the longer one just to drive your vehicle more.
  8. You are usually not allowed to drive your car by your parents, because either you are too inexperienced, or you do not know roads too well. So you decide to take the car with the driver anyway, and midway during the journey, shift into the driver’s seat.
  9. From time to time, you have contemplated choosing the career of a Race Car/Rally Car driver.
  10. You thank god for being born a human being. Had you been born a dog, for example, you would always be chasing cars but never be driving them!! What a sheer waste of life that would be!!

Till the next post, drive safely! Do not drink and drive, and always wear seatbelts.

The face behind MG Hector in India

Image
Have you wondered who the smart-looking man appearing in the MG Hector advertisement in India really is? At first glance, many of you may have even thought of him to be straight out a Stark Trek movie. It is none other than Benedict Cumberbatch, a theatre-born UK actor who has entered in a number of stage shows and movies, Avengers being one of them. Cumberbatch has been chosen as the brand ambassador for Hector. He is been shown as a car user who completely enjoys the fact that his SUV talks to him like a regular human being, and identifies him as one. Smart technology for a smart man, wouldn't you say? When chosen to be the ambassador, Benedict Cumberbatch was absolutely thrilled to bits, having grown up in awe of the iconic brand MG. Over the years, he has always been inquisitive about MG Midgets and MGB. As far as career goes, the actor has experimented with different roles across TV shows, stage productions and films, constantly trying to raise the bar. Now this is one v

Read about the latest MG Hector news

Image
We know you have been following this space regularly for updates on the latest MG Hector. As per the latest MG Hector news, it has already been revealed ahead of its launch in June 2019. Of course, so far you had been only reading about different specs, both interior and exterior, but it is finally time to see the massive SUV in the flesh, and boy, it sure was a pleasure to get a feel of the UK product in India. Though it already looked big in pictures, trust us, the MG Hector exterior is even bigger in the flesh. Its length of 4655 mm is complemented with a butch-looking black mesh grille, surrounded by delicious dollops of chrome. Its headlamp assembly is in the bumper and DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) are placed just on top. All said and done, the massive overhang may just be a wee bit difficult to get in and out of city traffic. But then, what are highways and expressways really for, if not to let such vehicles express themselves? Parameter Dimensions

New Maruti WagonR- is it better than its predecessor?

Image
The legacy of the WagonR in India is virtually unsurmountable. Bands in the late 1990’s and up to 2005 have regularly used it to transport audio equipment. It provides comfortable upright seats and is suitable even for the septagenerians. So, did it really need an upgrade, considering its sales of nearly 10,000 a month? Maruti felt that the new Wagon R 2019 was necessary, and here’s how. For one, the new Wagon R 2019 has more space than before, certainly looking like a grown-up hatchback now, despite being under 4 m in length. The headlights are bolder, closely resembling those of the Ignis, though not quite as stylish. Oh yes, it gives you two options now for power- a 1.0 litre 3-cylinder engine and a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder engine. This single aspect easily beats its competition that comprises of the Santro, Tata Tiago, and its very own Celerio. Step into the vehicle, and its interiors seem miles ahead of the competition. Remember the time when Hyundai Santro’s interiors, wi
