What are you driving /riding and why?

I drove from Kozhikode in my 1961 Ponton 190D for MBCCR 2023. I also drive a 1958 baby Hindustan convertible with a diesel engine swap. Both are my daily drivers as they’re reliable. I also ride a 1988 Yezdi Roadking.

Something classic, like an old Land Cruiser, Mercedes or BMW.

The most fun you’ve had in a car / bike?

On the drive from Kerala to Mumbai, to take part in the 10th edition of the MBCCR in a 1960 190D Ponton (W121).
