Mahindra is slowly becoming the suv king . Thar is an awesome offroader and now xuv 700 is also an awesome suv.

It was very emotional and "from the bottom of heart". In fact my Father remembered the 1980s international rally happened in India, he always admired Premier vehicles.

I wish I could meet your father man. Listen to the story of his life over a campfire. ♥️

My grandmother had Commander... Listening to your father's story was flashback for me, I was there in 2009 with my grandparents... It was a nice day ;) you know what I mean

The first Thar i ever sat in was one of the Indian Air Force, and went top a hill with more than 30 degree gradient. What a beast this thing is.

Wow, fantastic history. Great Job by Cyrus. I am getting nostalgic now. I am proud of being a witness to this history. At 13:11, it was me driving the V with tyre in the air, and Cyrus shot the pic using my camera. :-)

WOW!!!! That was a huge. Really loved the inside story. @Cyrus you are one lucky fellow, to be part of this legend. Speaking of legend, I used to follow the Team Bhp forum, where Behramji would personally reply to the members query. He is Father of the legend.

I've had the opportunity to drive the MM 540 and MG 310 in all sorts of terrain. Be it mud, flood, the Thar or the highway, the MM could beat MG 310 hands down any day. I've bashed the dunes where no MG could think of going. Once in 2010, I got stuck in more than knee deep mud and water, with 6 people onboard ... 4L and little to and fro we are out. I used to love the MM 540. Alas, we couldn't maintain the rotary pump, hence the MM540 was phased out in around 2008-09, and slowly those still in service were eventually auctioned out as scrap.

Now, eagerly waiting for the 5-door thar. Need to upgrade my age old sedan. ;)

Great video Team Power Drift. This is the first time I'm commenting on your videos. You guys always have great review. Your RE Thunderbrid review where you scrap the foot peg in a turn, was day I started and till date, I never miss your videos.

Keep it Up guys. CHEERS!!!

[Jackson]

Wow😍 What a story🔥 And you got to witness it all❤️. . . I wonder who would have done that oil thingy, spineless bugger. . .😡 More such stories please😍

[shrishanmugham]

Cyrus, your dad is the reason my best memories of life. He is a legend!!! Have a '53 willy's. But craved a daily driver off roader. Drove a friend's thar in hyderabad in 2013. Came back to Chennai on a Sunday. Booked the thar on a Monday.

Every adventure memory that followed was thar certified. It something only a true blooded off roader will understand. We all owe your dad 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Cyrus, very informative video had one question, so now if Mahindra knows that there is a huge fan and consumer base for thar then why does it still have a one year waiting period ? Can't they like ramp up the production ?? Looking forward to your inputs thanks

[abhayschoudhari]

So much pleased to here the story of a great legender with it's legender vehicle...Mr Cyrus a salute to your father & his contribution to the automotive industry and for his innovation..🙏🙏

[nottherealRohaNNNN]

Thanks for mentioning TeamBHP. Hats off to your Dad, indeed a Legend.

[SanKiranKReddy]

Good to hear that great hardship of people behind Thar !!! Great product comes from great hardships of passionate people 👍👍👍👌👌👌

[ishanasthana]

In 2013 I got to read Behram Sirs thread on TBHP. I was swept away with the 521 stories . It took me 8 years after that I could go and get my hands on one. I bought a pre owned 2017 thar very recently. It's the best video to come out of power drift in a long time. God bless you man. Hope we meet someday and talk more about this. ❤️

[athulkshibu_aks]

Hey Cyrus, I distinctly remember your mentioning of the special relation that you have with the Thar on "the other YouTube channel" and since then I have been waiting to listen to the story.
Thank you Powerdrift for bringing him in. 😌❤️
