An older classic car from Chennai takes on the Himalayas and stays the course
The Hindu
The Classic Himalayan Drive runs on nostalgia the route seeking to recreate the ones followed by the iconic Himalayan rally of the 1980s, but removing the ragged edges. But the drive happens in a real estate of a kind where danger can be minimised, not wiped off the map. The drive is non-competitive and every finisher is a winner. However, participants compete against steep inclines, hairpin bends, roads washed by rains, and narrow roads caressing boulders. And ironically, they are pitted against their own machines, particularly those at the wheels of older classics.
