Hats off to the terrible intellect of Admins (including, the fans/ members/ enchutiasts) of scores of social media groups of brand specific automobile fans and owners, viz. MSC Lovers and Enchutiasts, VWC Owners Fans and Enchutiasts, TMC Fan And Enchutiasts Club India, MMC Owners and Enchutiasts, Callous Night Drivers From Kolkata, etc π€.
The Admins, Members/ Followers of these forums with factual errors in almost every post want discussions and contents pertaining to their own brand of cars (say) Alto, Nexon, i20, Tiago, Harrier, etc only. Read on .......
--- A general discussion on Fine Driving Gyanology (viz. safe driving tips) is frowned upon.
--- A general discussion on lubricants, brake oils, greases, tyres, injectors, sensors, paints, malfunction indicator lamps, etc, are beyond their ability to grasp and are obviously frowned upon since there's no mention of the brand.
--- Is it that a warning post to make motorists aware of the right moves by authorities to ensure safe driving on Samruddhi Expressway, Agra Lucknow Expressway, Yamuna Expressway, Bundelkhand Expressway not applicable to Nexon owners? π€
--- Is it so that Nexon or Alto or Tiago or Brezza owners are allowed to drive with worn out tyres while those driving other brands of cars are debarred on the same Expressways π€
--- Is it that car owners in brand/ model specific social media forums (including their Admins/ Moderators/ Fans/ Enchutiasts) NEED NO HELP on batteries, lubricants, inflators, road routes and conditions, contacts of local garages, speed limits or police restrictions on roads, info about road blockages, info on hotel eateries, info on local mechanics who can possibly get a car back to life in Lalitpur or Annavaram or Dindigul, hill driving tips, info on emergency healthcare facilities between Barasat and Krishnanagar, etc, etc π€π€π€π€
--- More importantly, is it that the Admins and members of such forums (with anything between 600 to 60,000+ members/ followers) are only too happy seeing repeat posts about:
* BREAKING (π€),
* PPF,
* Mileage of 25.3 kmpl and why not 26.1 kmpl (π€),
* Should insurance be claimed or repairs done at own cost,
* Build quality and ridiculing cars which perform almost flawlessly,
* Infotainment,
* ADAS,
* and the likes.
My own initiatives, viz. Indian Roadie (page and group) and Associated Forums Of Indian Roadie are focussed on Quality Over Quantity and Class Over Mass.
My initiatives are followed by the senior management team (including a few Chief Executives and Managing Directors) of 9 out of the 23 car manufacturers in India, 3 two-wheeler manufacturers, 1 electric vehicle manufacturer, 3 automotive battery manufacturers, 2 PSU oil marketing cos, 4 MNC lube manufacturers, 2 of the MNC auto electical manufacturers, 3 tyre manufacturers, etc, etc, etc.
If the need be, my members have received unprecedented favourable assistance directly from the top management team and/ or the distribution channel of the principals.
Search and download pdf files of old issues of Indian Roadie eGranth (monthly eBook). You will get some idea of the claims.
If you are a matured motorist (read, roadie) + willing to learn and share all your good and bad experiences directly on Indian Roadie and associated forums, I can assure you that there will be thousands of INDIANS (not necessarily Marathis, Bengalis, Tamils) to virtually (and even physically) hanhold you across the length and breadth of India on the road and off the road, too.
