Illustration: Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

My Pontiac Firebird Trans Am illustration, harking back to the glory days of Smokey and the Bandit and Knight Rider. I've once had the good fortune to fire up an old Camaro during my days in Australia, the car it shared a platform with back in the day, and its 'V8 modor' literally shook the earth...

Illustration: '56 Jawa

This beautiful motorcycle has become a collector's item in India and across the world, and never fails to garner smiles and evoke emotions. The iconic beat from the twin pipes means you can recognise the sound a Jawa from far away, and I love the way the shifter doubles up as the kickstarter.

Illustration:'54 Morris Oxford

This car holds a lot of fond memories for us in India, and was driven by millions who used it for everything from the school run to ferrying Parliament biggies. Here's my artistic impression of the classic Morris Oxford from 1954.

Propulsion hardware sees a V8 petrol engine with at least 400 horses and an electric motor producing around 100 bhp.

Did The Cross Kwid Concept Play A Part In The Renault Kwid Climber Concept Story?

The Renault Kwid Climber unveiled at the 2016 Auto Expo in Delhi certainly seems like it was Renault India turning a simple suggestion from mid-2015 into a beautiful concept car that can actually work not just in our country, but internationally. Last year's story with the idea's a minute-read here: http://bit.ly/renaultcrosskwid.

Oh and ‪#Renault, there's plenty more where that came from. Game face.

The idea.
