I like taking Test Drives................I learnt Car driving without anyone's assistance.I always liked the Speedo needle floating over and above the RED mark. The Chevrolet SRV was looking good at the showroom. They said its a SPORTS car.I asked how many horses were parked in the stable beneath the bonnet........100 they quipped.....not enough for a Sports Revving car............"test it Sir", the representative handed the keys to me.

Near MG Road @ Bangalore.The pedal was smooth and invited to be floored.First gear and the forward force was too much.........whiplashing and weaving through the freshly fired bullet strings of vehicles that proceeded from the signal on.It turned numb.......I had to get it back to the 1st and 2nd gear for pick up.Am not satisfied.."Gimme a car that cooks a TSUNAMI at the slightest touch of the throttle".

SWIFT.........at my hometown Trichy.My car,the 800,was bathing under the jet showers at the service center."Can it (SWIFT) go fast........faster than the GETZ?".The rep's ego was hurt."Test and tell me sir";the keys swapped hands.The Karur Bye Pass Road.The car was grippy.The music was whipping a frenzy within me. The Speedo needle called on the 3 figure mark.I wasn't satisfied.I saw a Bus shooting straight at me coz I was overtaking a Scorpio.The rep had his eyes wide shut..........140 KMPH and a fully locked steering toward the left.The Kudamurutti Railway station to the left, the bank of River Cauvery to the right and an oncoming Behemoth that wouldn't stop for a freakish fellow behind the wheel.I stepped on the Brake pedal.....WOwwwwwwwwwwwwww what a thrill.The rep said that he was still alive and it was amazing.

I long to ride faster.Am fresh from a 110KMPH ride on my HONDA UNICORN.........Can anyone lend me a DUCATI or a KAWASAKI NINJA or atleast a FORMULA 1 car?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm if wishes were horses, IIIIIIIIIIIII could ride;-)
