A Perfect Blend?
No matter what the experts advise- stay calm, breathe deeply, count backwards, the information overload always finds a way to get to you. And often, it gets to you in more ways than one. The aftermath of the information explosion. We're feeling too much and thinking too little. A constant barrage of half-baked trending information keeps pushing us from one outrage to the next, with little time left for reflection. Obviously, comprehension, in all of this, is collateral damage. When every blue tick is pushing information down your throat, how can we differentiate between news, information, wisdom and analysis? What we are all experiencing in the midst of ethanol blending news is the over blending of overly fermented opinions. So, in case you came looking for an opinion here, you might be disappointed. Not that there isn't one, it isn't in your preferred colour, black or white. In the world of 8K screens, where you have the option to see a billion colours, why just two shades? So, let's start with the whats and the ifs. What is it? Is it good or bad? Will it damage the fuel line or pump? Is it going to bust the cylinders open or blow a gasket midway?

Don't tread lightly: Radial vs Cross Ply Tyres
If you don't know the difference between radial and cross ply tyres, this article is for you. So, if you want to refresh your memory. Because, besides tread patterns, understanding the difference is crucial. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses, and the choice largely depends on your riding style, the terrain you frequent, and the performance you expect from your bike. While radial tyres are more commonly found on modern motorcycles, cross ply tyres still hold relevance - let's say in specific applications.

MALAYSIA DIECAST EXPO 2025 SHRUNK DOWN, AMPED UP
There's something wildly entertaining - bordering on spiritual - about watching grown adults lose their composure over pocket-sized cars. Not toys, mind you. Call them that and you'll be excommunicated faster than a fake Super Treasure Hunt listing on OLX. These are die-cast models - carefully curated, obsessively stored, and sometimes spoken to like pets. And for many, including yours truly, they're both time machine and trophy case.

THE VOLKSWAGEN VIRTUS
In a world dominated by SUVs, the sedan has often been overshadowed, pushed to the sidelines in the race for market supremacy. Yet, standing tall and proud, the Volkswagen Virtus defies this trend with a roaring presence that has captured the imagination and loyalty of Indian car enthusiasts. Built on the advanced MQB AO IN platform, the Virtus is more than just a vehicle; it's a statement. A statement of rebellion against conformity, a consolation to those who crave the purity of a true sedan experience amid the rising tide of SUVs.

The E20 question
‘Il be honest, like many of you, this outcry over the E20 fuel rollout has crept up on me unexpectedly. That probably sums up the gist of this issue. This policy of raising the ethanol content in fuel to 20 per cent was meant to be rolled out fully by 2030, but this change seems to have been fast tracked significantly. The effect has been that many users have now been left somewhat in the lurch, with their cars not being compatible with this. For those of you who have bought cars built after April 2023, this may not be of much concern, but as it stands, the mandated life cycle of a petrol car in India is 15 years.
