What are you driving and why?
I drive a Land Rover Defender 110 daily for its ruggedness and beast-like road presence, and on the weekends I drive a BMW M3 (E93). I also have an Audi RS4, which I’ve taken to the Modern Classic Rally, and a Mercedes CLK 320, which I’ve driven to the MBCCR.
What’s next on your wish list?
I’m currently in the process of restoring my 1970 Chevrolet Nova.
The most fun you’ve had in a car or bike?
When I took the Defender on a road trip to Rajasthan, with some dear friends of mine.
Favourite/Dream money-no-object car?
It’s either going to be a 1969 Ford Mustang or a Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series.
Who is your all-time greatest motorsport hero?
I really admire Narain Karthikeyan. He broke the glass ceiling for Indian F1 drivers.
Favourite road?
From Belgaum to Tumkur in Karnataka. I would also love to drive on the Autobahn in Germany someday.
What’s on your automotive bucket list?
I try to keep as many ‘collector’ cars as I can.
What would you do with your last litre of fuel?
Save it, as I don’t want to drive an EV.
Your ideal 5-car garage would be?
Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W124)
Chevrolet Nova
Audi RS4
Audi A8 L W12
Mercedes-Benz SL 500
What was your first car?
My first car was a Hyundai i20.
