Suresh Joseph Sir had bought a Mahindra XUV500 from a dealership in Cochin on 23 April 2016 for the Trans Siberian expedition. It has now been a trusted companion, despite some early glitches, for the past 54 months. On Friday, 2020-10-16 during the drive from Gundlupete to Chennai his Champion crossed the magical 100,000 km milestone.
The following are some of the highlights of the amazing companionship:
1. The original Bridgestone tyres still 'adorn' the car with, maybe, another 10,000 still on them.
2. The original battery keeps the Champion full of energy.
3. The brake pads have been changed just once in the one lakh km the Champion has logged.
4. The stepney has never been used.
Don't you think sir deserve a fresh set of tyres from Bridgestone and a new battery gratis for the tremendous mileage he has had from them?

That's awesome, Sir 👏🏆
It's the man behind the wheels for the first 100000 kms who has kept #Champion performing so well 👌👌👌
I (Deep Banerjee) met Sir and saw his beautiful Champion during its maiden Trans Siberian Expedition from Kochi to St. Petersburg (on 2016-05-15 beyond the Dankuni toll plaza in the outskirts of Kolkata) and again during the Four Corners Of India (on 2017-05-28 in Kolkata) Record Drive 😊
For the uninitiated, Suresh Joseph Sir started his Record Drive in 2010 with the All India drive to 28 state capitals and 17 railway headquarters.
By 2019, when he completed the Trans Canada Highway, he had completed 13 expeditions, 10 of them solo and 7 international.
Sir holds the record for being the only person on the planet to hold records for driving on the four longest highways of the world, solo.
