Last Friday I was fortunate enough to visit the London Excel motor show for free (thanks to Satveer Singh). I wanted to go and visit the Geneva motor show earlier this year but  was unable to due to my busy schedule.

My day began by catching a bus with Satveer in the morning which brought us outside London Excel. Upon entering we had the option of entering two large halls.

In the hall on the right were your “typical” cars and on the left were all the high performance cars. If you went straight down in the middle you could exit at the back where they had Land Rover doing an off road performance. I got the chance to sit in a performance and experience the Land Rover’s handling of the obstacle course. The technology inside the Jeep is amazing. When coming down a hill you do not need to touch the controls as the car automatically drives you down (literally). You do not need to worry about anything except the steering.

I first heard of the Red Bull air race two years ago and was fascinated by it. Primarily due to never seeing such maneuvers which are carried out by the pilots.

Over the years I’ve been watching adverts year after year. This year I was too late to get the tickets but decided to try and watch it for free anyway. After all, what did I have to lose except £5 on travel costs?

Varinder’s taken the 100 Push-ups challenge

20 Jul 2008 In: General

This past week I officially started the 100 push ups challenge. The “100 push ups challenge” in itself is a guide to take you from 0 push ups to 100 in a period of six weeks. The creator of the website argues that its simply a case of discipline and an organised approach. Let’s see if he’s correct!

I decided to take up this challenge as it fell under one of my goals which I set out to accomplish in my summer holidays.

I’ve also somehow managed to persuade Gurpreet and her friend over in Portsmouth University to commit themselves to the challenge but, I think they’re just out to make muscles.

In addition to push ups I’ve also been trying to increase the number of bicycle crunches I can do. They’re proving to be the ultimate abdominal workout.
