The Thrill Factor

We will be celebrating our 25th anniversary in January 2024, and in a run-up to this landmark moment, we will share with you some unique stories that capture the essence of Motoring World, through the remainder of this year. To start things off, we found ourselves in a Hyundai i20 N-Line, searching for some grininducing motoring fun.

Away from the bustle of onlookers near the low stone railings of the highway overlooking the sangam at Dev Prayag, we were sitting inside said Hyundai i20 N-Line. Parked on an empty bridge, and with a clear view of the confluence of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers that make the mighty Ganga, we were just soaking up the moment. We were around 300 km from Delhi, but more importantly, we were about to head back to our hotel, located about 32 kilometres away in a different direction and in these 32 kilometres lies the essence of this story.

When the opportunity arose to talk about the thrill that driving great cars brings, the i20 N-Line was the ideal choice.

2025 KTM 390 ADVENTURE

What makes a perfect shot? It's a cocktail of many elements — the right settings, correct gear, and a great environment. But more often than not, the defining factor behind a killer image is a giant pair of cojones — belonging equally to rider and photographer. Naturally, a few loose screws help, too. Thankfully, and rather coincidentally, Manaal and I align on this philosophy. How else would he willingly hoist a 21-inch wheel right up to my wide-angle lens, trusting that neither of us will cross paths catastrophically? We do have enough screws in the right places to not swap positions... Well, at least, that's what we tell ourselves.
