Another Dream Machine

We still had to get home actually for us to say the Bakkhali trip was over. So after having tea and on our way home, we headed to South City Mall. After much debate and three trips around the huge Spencer’s store we finally decided to buy the Firefox bike I had been eyeing for a while. So kicked about the new purchase was I that when it was finally readied with all the accessories (i.e mud guard, compass bell, lock and water bottle) we paid for it and I rode it out of the mall all the way home. My wife took the car back. It was such a dream to ride that I rode like a bat out of hell and nearly reached home the same time as she did in the car. It didn’t end there. Once home, we lugged up all the luggage and I brought down the other Firefox bike and we both went out riding. We did make quite a spectacle of ourselves, again, as we pulled up to have Puchkas at Hiland Park.

After that we rode around for a while and then headed back home. Now the Firefox Tempest is not alone and has a Firefox Reloaded 2.1 parked beside it in our apartment.

Now our trip to Bakkhali was complete. I rode home for the last 5 odd kms.

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

Vintage Car Show 2018 at The Tollygunge Club

1947 MG TC So here we are once more at The Tollygunge Club on a cold winter morning to catch some rare beauties to warm our hearts. I try to catch these every year if possible and after my recent trip and the number of cars I've seen on it, one would think I'd give it a miss. This year's collection had most of the usual cars with an addition of some more to the fray.  What disappointed though was the limited number of super cars on display. But all that said, it's always a joy to see these wonderful gems still being cared for by their owners and offering us a glimpse into automotive history. So with that much said, I hope you'll enjoy the pictures of the cars below. 1947 MG TC 1938 Rolls-Royce 1938 Rolls-Royce 1953 Land Rover 1932 Ford V8 1932 Ford V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1956 BSA Bantam 1952 Willy's Jeep 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1925...
