Bond Cars - The List
November 11, 2008
Bond cannot exist without his cars, women and gadgets. No wonder they are the central part of any Bond movie. The Cars in James Bond movies are every mans “Dream to own” car. They have style, speed and of course Bond value. Bond invariably crashes these cars while in pursuit of the baddies and in his attempt to save the world. All these cars are customized by Q who is usually unhappy about the way Bond treats his cars.
Apparently he treats them like he treats his women.

Spotted: New Ford Ikon?
October 22, 2008
| Is this the new Ford Ikon?
Spotted on a busy rainy morning at TTK Road, Chennai. |
 |
| At this point, the driver realised that I was taking snaps. I wanted to take a snap from the front, but he did not allow us(I was in an auto!) to overtake him. |
 |
| My auto driver lived up to ‘Chennai Auto Drivers’ name as he cut/bent/sneaked and finally got me in front of the car much to the car driver’s frustration. |
 |
| I showed him a thumbs up sign and he smiled back as we parted ways. |
 |
| Needless to say, my auto driver was amused. |
100 Years of Model T

Henry Ford famously remarked,
Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black
It is exactly 100 years today since Ford sold its first car Model T. This car may have been critisized a lot, but still it is a car which revolutionized the automotive sector!
What do you think of the Model T and other American cars?
