The Superdrive team had spent a couple of days in the “Land of the Nizams – Hyderabad”. Now, the turn had come to visit Aurangzeb’s city – Aurangabad. In Aurangabad, the team visited excellent historic places. Below are some photos from the landmark photo shoot.

Lucky winners on the Nano Superdrive

Dr. Mujumdar, a pathologist by profession and Mr. Pankaj, from the construction business were the lucky ones to test drive the Nano Superdrive from Nagpur city to 100 kms out on the highway.

Both of them had a great time driving their respective Nano cars on the highway and were visibly elated with their experience, though a bit tired by the oppressive heat.

To etch their name and faces in history, they posed with the Superdrive nanos and the Tata Motors team at the end of their 100 kilometre long test drive.

Get, Set, Go to Raipur!!

It was a bright and warm morning at Nagpur! The time had arrived for us to set march towards Raipur, the capital of Chhatisgarh state.

Superdrive Nanos stand at the Centre of India!!

Today in the afternoon and under the blazing sun, we were at the Centre of India. This place is called the “Zero Mile” and is an important landmark of Nagpur and India as a whole.

IMG_1401-800
Coz, this is the geographical centre of India and all corners of India are equidistant from this point.

IMG_1402-800
And it was at this point today that the Superdrive Nanos of the White Route signalled their presence!!

91.1 Radio City FM and its lucky listeners test drive the Nano at Diksha Bhoomi, Nagpur!

Once our photo shoot at Diksha Bhoomi was complete, we were joined by 91.1 City FM RJ Raj and a troop of his lucky listeners. Some of them including the RJ got to test drive Laali!! And boy,  were they mightily impressed.

As soon as they got into the car, the RJ exclaimed, “Who said that the Nano is a small car?”!! Once the test drives were complete, the RJ and these lucky listeners got on air to share their Nano feedback with their FM listeners.

Nano Photo shoot at Kasturchand Park, Nagpur!!

The Superdrive Nanos began their drive through the city of oranges by visiting Kasturchand Park.

IMG_1316-800
Kasturchand park is a fairly large place and an important landmark in Nagpur.

IMG_1319-800
A lot of press photographers and media personnel were eagerly waiting to see Pinki, Chaandi and Laali in their best colours.

And these beautiful ladies did not disappoint them and happily posed for their barrage of photographs. A couple of media personnel even took them out on a short test drive!

Nanos get christened at the City of Oranges!!

Currently, we are at Nagpur, the city of Oranges and this is where we decided to conduct the christening ceremony of our Nanos!

IMG_1331-800
Until today, we were referring to them as Nanos! But, then we realized that they were more than just simple Nanos to us. After all, they are an integral part of our epic road trip around India.

IMG_1360-800
With this, I introduce you to Pinki, Chaandi and Laali, in their order of formation in the troop. Pinki, the cynosure of all eyes is the leader of the pack. I am sure you can guess who is who by just looking at their pretty faces in the pictures.

Nano zooms and vrooms on the Superdrive…

After a long stretch of bad roads in Madhya Pradesh, the Superdrive Nanos got a chance to stretch their limbs on the highways of Maharashtra.

The above is a shot of the Nano that was in front of me and was zooming past the countryside.
