Man on the Move Goes To India – Volume III: Ambassadors
January 27th, 2012 by
You know the old saying…if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The cabbies in India proudly embrace this motto as evidenced by their taxi of choice for the last half century. The Hindistan Ambassador, lovingly referred to as “The King of Indian Roads” by locals, is essentially a copy of a late 50s Morris Oxford III that has been produced by Hindustan Motors since 1958. Head to their website for tech specs and you’ll find innovations like drum brakes and a 38HP diesel motor. Jokes aside though, they actually do have a wide range of engines including a natural gas option. Think of it as old tech with a new theme.
Pictured above and below, the handsome Ambassador doing what is does best…schlepping people around.

Man on the Move Goes to India – Two and Three Wheeled Edition
January 12th, 2012 by
Gaze upon the first in our series of posts chronicling the street spotting scene in India (yeah, that’s right, we’re global now). Pictured here, sights and sounds from 2 and 3 wheeled methods of transport with a few horses and camels thrown in for good measure.
This beautiful, gritty imagery really forces you to rethink the word utility don’t cha think?

Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed – Park St, Kolkata [India]
December 6th, 2011 by
This Conti GT may not win sighting of the century in the states, but it’s a fairly big deal to spot one of these bruisers in Kolkata where most of the things that go are powered by puny put put diesels or, better yet, good old fashioned pedals. The W12-powered, 600HP beast of a luxo sedan must have been chauffeuring around some well-to-do local because the moment I begun snapping, security guards proceeded to shout “no photos, no photos!”
A gallon of regular gas in Kolkata is about $6.50. What do you figure a tank full of premium in this baby will run you.
Exotic indeed.
Chevy Impala: NW 13th & Davis – Portland [OR]
November 3rd, 2011 by
Spotted this tall drink of Chevy on NW 13th & Davis. With its utterly grand proportions, this baby is the automotive equivalent to Kareem Adbul Jabar after a couple of hours on a medieval torture rack. That translates to a 2-door coupe that’s roughly 1 foot longer than a modern day Cadillac Escalade SUV. Think about that for a moment.
Tail fins and dreams!
Toyota Landcruiser, NW – 13th & Davis, Portland
October 30th, 2011 by
These 40-Seroes Landcruisers are so cool. Steel roof, contrasting color scheme, tough-as-nails build character. This little guy, when properly equipped, is 3/4 ton rated. That’s on par with today’s full-sized pick ups. Quite the work horse. This one, spotted in front of W+K, appears to be near flawless, likely the subject of a recent frame-off restoration. She looks so perfect that me thinks it might be a restomod. Either way, the truck looks amazing.

Aston Martin Vantage: NW Naito Pkwy, Portland [OR]
September 21st, 2011 by
Porsche just dropped their all-new 2012 911 on us at the Frankfurt Auto Show. It’s the iconic 2+2 that’s been grabbing enthusiast hearts and minds since the 1960s. Well, unbeknownst to many, there are a few other choices when approaching this category. This handsome Aston Martin Vantage is one of them. And while it may not be as perfectly balanced a sports car as the Porsche, it does emit one hell of a throaty, high revving symphony from the slick looking tailpipes. A symphony that sounds more Italian than British. Hopefully the owner gets some good use out of that drop top before the Winter chill sets in.
