Erm BMW, what the f*ck are you playing at?

I thought of a little rant a couple of weeks ago and since then I read some articles which made me erupt... At first, I was just going to go on about everything wrong with the 3 and 4 series but now, I'm going to rant about BMW as a whole... To be honest, I think I've been put off BMW - I'm definitely not gonna let my dad buy another and I'm probably not gonna either.... Lemme explain properly...

The Audi Driver vs. The Cyclist

Okay, I'm guessing you guys have seen this video? And if you haven't, lemme do a quick synopsis... The video is taken from a cyclists helmet and shows a bunch of cyclists pulling up to a traffic light with a white Audi A7 (beauty).... The Audi rolls forward into the cycle lane... Seeing this, one of the cyclists rolls back and tells him 'this is a cycle lane'... The traffic light turns green and the Audi blasts off leaving the cyclists behind... After a few minutes, all the cycles catchup again (I'm guessing this is Central London so no surprise) and the same cyclist knocks on the driver side window shouting profanity at the driver... The driver gets out and knocks the cyclist the f*ck down... Here's the video to see for yourself:

Now I'ma explain why I'm on the drivers side in this... Yeah, surprise surprise - I accept I am biased - I despise cyclists (even though my father is one)... But hear me out...

Why Paul Walker Meant So Much To Me...

I guess this is a little late - Mr. Walker passed at the end of November and I did want to write about it then but after taking such a long break from writing on Pantherum, it was hard to get back in the mood... But we are back and we will be writing way more regularly...

The Return

Sorry we’ve been gone for awhile; I’m afraid all three of us have been busy with uni, exams and so on - they have taken priority over Pantherum unfortunately. But with everything done and dusted, we are ready to get back on the grind; back to what we love. With all the chit chat outta the way, let’s get this show on the road.

Tax

There’s something that I really hate in this country… Not really tax as a whole, but just how much we get taxed… And it feels like it’s never going anywhere useful… Not only that but it feels like we get taxed for absolutely everything… I just got a letter in the post for import tax - I bought a car part in June from Taiwan for £25 and paid £15 shipping (it’s worth about £60 in England) and I get a letter in late september asking for £15 tax… What the f*ck was the point of that? It feels like the fine I got early this month...

You Are Really Small

(Hey guys, I know we don't have a massive audience yet, but i wanted to make sure that we kept posting regularly - so as Yath wasn't able to post, I filled in :) nothing to do with tech though!)

Have you ever looked around and up and just thought about how small you are? I know there are much smaller things in life, things we cannot see and things we struggle to even measure, but we are really really small… I was on a flight to Malaysia when it suddenly hit me just how small we are…

The Ease of Owning a Car

Sarcasm, if you couldn’t tell… As predicted on my introduction post, I’m going to talk about owning a car… No, it’s not easy and I think anybody who doesn’t own a car can’t see the issues - ‘oh, they have a car so life is easy for them’... Sorry about having another rant but in the last week I've received two parking tickets so I think I have the right lol…

The Tamil Parent Mentality

Hey, what's going on guys? :) we made some changes to our blog page, I hope you like them but if you don't then just let one of us know! It will improve as time goes on but we need your help; we're just beginners :) (I added the Hot Girl Sundae section ;) )

If you have had the pleasure of knowing me, you probably know I rant a f*ck load; so yes, this week I'ma have one... And you've probably already realised from the title, it's about the Tamil parent mentality... I'm not sure if it's all parents, of all cultures, or maybe just Asian parents, but I can safely say it's (most) Tamil parents... I want to say 'all' but I don't wanna make a stereotypical judgement - saying that I am yet to know a parent well who doesn't have this mentality...

Hi, My Name Is Achu :)

What’s going on guys? :) Just thought I'd continue this introduction thing we've got going on for the first week… I'm pretty excited by this new blogging idea we have - I really enjoy writing and now I can have some randomer reading it :D Anyways, my posts are going to be pretty random - I may write about the hardship of owning a car and sometimes I may write about how stupid our government is, but I guarantee you I will try my hardest not to bore you! I love cars, gaming and audio-visual entertainment, but i have other interests too… Things like photography (check out my Flickr: AchuCKR), computing (I enjoy the hardware aspects, not so much the software), badminton (I play many tournaments but never professionally), and I’m a bit of a gym freak too… So I guess you won't know what to expect when it’s my turn to post but I do want your opinions so leave comments down below :)

Also, I swear a lot…

‘til next week, sayonara b*tches :)
