Travelling in Classic Style

When, earlier this year, our minders told us they were going to take us to India we started imagining what it would be like and doing some internet research to find out what to expect.

As we like to think we share personality characteristics with James Bond (I'm sure you can spot them) and the Top Gear presenters (we're sure we'll be invited on the show any day) we always pay particular attention to the car chase sequences in James Bond films.

After watching the James Bond film Octopussy, we fell in love with the Hindustani Ambassador and since then it has been our ambition to ride in one. We thought the chance might just come our way on our India trip so did a Google search on 'Hindustani Ambassador'. We just adore one of the quotes we found in someone's blog - the author was talking about a ride in an Ambassador.

''It is like traversing a crazy golf course on your granny's sofa, with added obstructions coming from flitting auto-rickshaws, wobbly, cycling Sikhs and toiling bullock carts''.

After reading this we made a pact that we wouldn't leave India without riding in an Ambassador. We hadn't bargained for there being so many around - they were everywhere and every single one was white. How we longed to take a can of spray paint to one of them to make it different! Was the ride worth waiting for? Yes it was. These are just such cool cars that we have yet another business venture to research for Bears Unlimited.
