A 5,000km road trip and the Vento shows Ashok how good its highway legs are
![]()
December was the month when most of Team OD found some family time. Christmas is about being home, and all that. With wedding season running at its peak, I had two to attend, followed by Christmas and then the christening of my baby nephew. That meant a flight from Bombay to Bangalore followed by a flight from Bangalore to Chennai and finally a flight to Kochi, and then I take another flight to Bombay to be back in time for New Year’s Eve.
I could’ve done that. But instead, I decided to drive everywhere. Road trip time!
