Ye dekhiye tamasha! Party chal rahi hai in the middle of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, taking U-turns like they own the road. Absolute chaos. So dangerous, such a shame!

Never planned to install rain visors on my Safari Storme. The Tata dealership did it without asking - I was actually annoyed. I prefer the clean look. But over time, I’ve come to appreciate them. Super useful when you want fresh air without rain flooding the cabin

Some of my colleagues and friends, especially from Mumbai and southern parts of India, ask me why I honk so frequently while overtaking or at crossroads The driving style in the northern parts of India, especially in Uttar Pradesh, is unique. They value their convenience over their lives, often neglecting to look around before switching lanes or making turns. They believe that if someone is crossing, they’ll simply honk to let them know. This mentality contributes to the high fatality rate on highways in Uttar Pradesh After driving on these roads for around 14 years, I’ve developed the habit of honking while passing trucks and buses, ensuring a margin of braking distance for sudden maneuvers by riders spitting paan, cattle appearing out of nowhere, people crossing without looking and of course, wrong-way driving Notice the timestamps between the two clips - such incidents occurred twice in five minutes during a 6 hour drive. If I were to compile all these instances, it would be like watching a short movie Though the speed may appear slow in the video, it was mostly around 100 km/hr. However, I had to brake heavily, hence the frustration with prolonged honking Some people might comment, ‘You shouldn’t overtake from the left.’ However, there’s another unsaid rule here - most trucks drive on the rightmost lane.

A rare sight — the flight has landed, the aerobridge is connected, and even the seatbelt signs are off. Yet, everyone is still seated, waiting for the gates to open. Guess the airport

That bright red illuminated Skoda lettering is just not Skoda! Maybe it’ll look better after the full reveal but for now the LED strips feel kinda Karol Bagh-ish. Just hoping they don’t ruin it by overdoing the exterior updates.

This looks like a test drive unit of the BMW M2. The driver is casually doing donuts on a busy public road in Noida, not cool, it’s reckless.

Sure, it’s the driver’s fault for missing the speed breaker markings and that massive structure ahead but who makes a roundabout in the middle of a highway?

That’s why I believe E20 is a scam! Firstly, despite the promised fuel price cuts, no such cuts have been implemented even after ethanol blending. Secondly, ethanol is being imported from the USA! Which means no farmers are getting benefited. 📸 - Open Letter

This is going to add some drama in the mid-size SUV segment. Super action in this space, segment leader worried?

Tata Motors after-sales service experience after spending more than 5 years with the Safari. I have rarely commented on this experience because I initially felt it was too good to be true. However, after spending so much time and gauging the kind of service they offer, here’s my take after the recent service experience. People are always skeptical about the after-sales service of Tata Motors and I was too. The Tata Safari Storme was on my dream car list and I had no option but to embrace the fact that I would have to deal with shabby services and the constant niggles of Tata cars — or at least that’s what the perception was. I get my servicing done regularly at a specific service center and always with the same service advisor. What I like: 👍 They are always warm and welcoming. 👍 They listen to your concerns and whatever you need to get done. 👍 They do a proper checkup while making the job card. 👍 They always mention all the services they will perform and ask if you don’t want any additional services. 👍 If they find anything wrong, they call and ask for permission to work on it. 👍 At times, they proactively improve things even if you don’t mention it. In my case, they tightened up the handbrake and smoothened the gearbox without me even complaining about it. 👍 They provide regular updates personally on WhatsApp by sending pictures and videos of the work being done. 👍 Service costs are quite reasonable, even though the Safari Storme was discontinued 5 years ago. They also offer additional discounts if you negotiate properly. 👍 90% of the time, I have received my car the same day. This time I gave the car for servicing post-afternoon, so they had to deliver it the next day. 👍 After servicing, they take proper feedback through a form and a call from the service center. What I don’t like: 👎 There are long queues to deal with if you don’t take a prior appointment. 👎 They don’t properly wash the exterior and interior. 👎 The polish they use after the service for the interior smells weird and has a sticky texture. Overall, it has always been a pleasant experience, and thank God I have never had any absurd issues with the car or the service center over the past 5 years. Some screenshots of their updates on WhatsApp ⬇️
