Toyota Corolla in New Zealand has clocked 20 lakh kms and still going strong


A man in New Zealand has created a record of sorts. The car he bought in 1993 - a Toyota Corolla - has clocked more than two million (20 lakh) kilometres. And surprisingly, the car is still running efficiently. According to New Zealand Herald, 72-year-old Graeme Hebley noticed the milestone mark in March and believes it will run "forever". Mr Hebley has been working as a newspaper delivery contractor since the 1960s, the Herald report further said. He purchased the car in the year 2000 when it had only 80,000 kilometres on the odometre.

Mr Hebley drives from Wellington to New Plymouth and back six days a week. This means the car runs 5,000 kilometres every week, which requires him to get it serviced every fortnight.

The Corolla, which still has the original engine and transmission, is serviced at Guthrie's Auto Care in Whanganui every two weeks for the last 22 years, according to New Zealand Herald.

"I broke down one morning in one of my vans. I rang John Sherman from Guthrie's and he came out and helped me. I have been getting all of my servicing done here since," Mr Hebley was quoted as saying by the Herald.

"It was used to deliver chippies in Tokyo before I got it," he further said.

The only major changes in the car's two-decade-long journey are cambelt - which has been replaced 20 times - and wheel bearings. Besides these parts, the car is original, the outlet further said.

Exit NH19 at Etawah and drive on Lucknow-Agra Expressway




Motorists driving from Kolkata/ Varanasi/ Kanpur to Agra/ Delhi  can leave NH19 at Etawah and start driving on Lucknow-Agra Expressway upto Agra And seamlessly connect to Yamuna Expressway to avoid the traditionally congested towns between Etawah and Agra. 

Motorists from Kolkata, Durgapur, Asansol, Dhanbad should note that unless one has any specific reason to visit Lucknow, it's not very feasible to exit NH19 at Aurangabad or Sasaram or Varanasi or Allahabad bypass to drive all the way to Lucknow and continue the drive upto Agra or Delhi. 
The roads connecting NH19 to Purvanchal Expressway or Lucknow-Agra Expressway are slow, passes through small towns/ villages and mostly double lane without median divider.

Indian Roadie is Travel and Automobiles Plus Plus


The contents in Indian Roadie and Associated Forums Of Indian Roadie are mostly NOT geography specific or vehicle specific. The contents are primarily for audience who are Indians in mind and spirit, who might be owning any make/ age of automobile(s). 

The initiatives by me (Deep Banerjee, Founder - Indian Roadie and associated forums) are best described as Indian Roadie Is Travel Plus Plus, Indian Roadie Is Automobiles Plus Plus, Indian Roadie Is For Vehicle Ownership Delight, Indian Roadie Help Brands Grow, Indian Roadie Helps Top Of The Mind Brand Recall for all product/ service categories. 
There's a bit of Indian Roadie In Everyday Life. 

Although the name of the forum/ group (where you are reading this post at this very moment) possibly has the name of a state as the prefix (viz. #KarnatakaRoadie, #TelanganaRoadie, #MaharashtraRoadie, #GujaratRoadie, #DelhiNcrRoadie, #RajasthanRoadie, #NorthEastRoadie, #BengalRoadie, etc), the contents are mostly national/ universal in nature. The target audience in the State Roadie forums need not be a Punjabi or a Marathi or a Malayali or a Odiya or a Bengali. Anyone who is reasonably conversant with a State can be a member of the respective State Roadie forum. 

You might be owning a Hyundai, Maruti, Tata, Mahindra, VW, Skoda, Jeep, Ford or some other brand but need assistance/ information/ clarification on local mechanics, tyres, batteries, lubricants, hotels, hospitals, pharmacies, eateries, fuel stations, route suggestion, etc, etc, etc. Although you might be reading this post (at this very moment) in #MarutiOwnersAndBrandAdmirers, #HyundaiOwnersAndBrandAdmirers, #VolkswagenOwnersAndBrandAdmirers, #TataOwnersAndBrandAdmirers, #MahindraOwnersAndBrandAdmirers, #KiaOwnersAndBrandAdmirers, etc, etc, etc, majority of contents are universal/ national in nature. The contents are NOT vehicle specific or geography specific at most times. 

I don't think that there are hotels in India which welcome only Renault owners, local mechanics who repair only Tata  cars, doctors who treat Nissan owners only, pharmacies wich sell sanitary napkins to Ford owners only, restaurants which serve Kia owners only, malls which cater to Maruti owners only! 

You might be in KA, TS, PB, DL, MH, GJ, WB, JH, AR, AS, ML (or whichever state) right now, own a Honda, Maruti, Mahindra, Kia, MG, etc but might require assistance/ information not only pertaining to your present state or vehicle but also in any adjoining or a far off state in India. Or you might also have technical issues pertaining to your brand of car which are also common with every other brand of cars. 

If you still can't find what you are looking for, find your answer in Indian Roadie Facebook Group and Page, Blogspot, X (erstwhile, Twitter), LinkedIn, etc. You only need to have the ability to do some smart search. My initiatives are very well indexed.

Pedestrians need to be responsible while crossing the road


It's a wonderful documentary film for people who cross busy roads waving at oncoming vehicles to stop with no concern for own safety and safety of other road users. 
Pedestrians should appreciate that they are not 'ironmen'.
