From the first road trip with my new car.


The 2 months prior were a nightmare as I lost my Verna to the Bangalore floods, and had to make a rather fast decision to get a new one ( had initially planned to get a 7 seater SUV in late 2023, but couldn't go an year without a car) when I came across itwasntme's octavia in the classifieds. The road trip and more importantly the car came as a welcome break.

Loving the experience so far

Great thread, and many great pictures! I was eagerly awaiting for this thread at this time of the year.

I managed to do plenty of memorable drives across multiple states in my primary car (2017 BMW 320d) as well as my beater car (2010 Maruti SX4) this year. Sharing a few of my favorite photos from this year below.

Good thread this. Always nice to put out pictures of the vehicle(s) in various poses in multiple environments!
And most of our dear fellow members truly do have a knack for producing pure eye-candy by way of their photos! The passion for the automobile really shines through.

Here is my small addition;
2012 Mini Cooper S

TIGER 800

City rides, Sunday rides, off road training and some stunning off road biased riding in the mountains of Himachal. The Tiger saw plenty of diverse action this year, despite sharing space for the better part of it with the newly arrived (used) Multistrada.


.

MULTISTRADA 1200S

The Multi munched road miles like no other. Got it in end March and have seen a little under 5000 kms to date since then. Next one is its maiden ride with me to Goa in Jan 2023. Hopefully will create some moments for the 2023 edition of this thread.


.

BMW 3GT

The GT lived up to its Grand Tourer moniker, with quiet efficiency even in its 7th year running. It did some excellent touring on highways, back roads and no-roads, all with equal aplomb. Its biggest daily achievement of course remains navigating the utterly retarded speed breakers in the greater Sewri / Parel area without so much as a scrape - a hugely underrated trait but useful to a point that I can’t emphasize enough.

Jeep Meridian 4x4 AT

Last but not the lease, here’s the Jeep doing … well, Jeep things. We had great fun shooting for the ownership review with some pals and even more fun taking it out for its first off roading session with the team at Learn Off-Road.
