Call us bonkers but the Thar inspires us to do things. Each crazier than the one before. So this time around we decided to eyeball a high altitude Himalayan pass in peak winter. And guess who blinked first? While we were at it, we also got you a low down on all we could find on snow chains. We didn’t stop there either because we also got into the hot seat of the hot-as-hell Mahindra XUV300 rally car, besides taking a close look at Mahindra’s new mStallion petrol engine that points at a petrol-rich legacy. All that, and much more. You know you don’t want to miss it!
