If ever there was a vehicle made for this kind of terrain, to unlock all the joys of the open, winding hill roads, it is the Jimny and its predecessor the Gypsy.
BHPian shankar.balan recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Quite a bit more of driving done today maybe another 100-odd kms up and down the beautiful Nilgiri Hills.
This small block, naturally aspirated engine and minute proportions and the action of ‘rowing through the gears’ is absolutely addictive.

There is something wonderful in the feeling of driving at 60kmph with the windows down and accelerating through the rev band in each gear, eking out the maximum.
Somehow it has always given me the feeling of being akin to flying an old Spitfire Aircraft. The thrum of the engine and the whine in the upper revs is an indescribable feeling.
Seriously, my Dad and I are having so much fun with this little car that I think we will do our best to find as many excuses as possible to find a nice curvy empty road anywhere, to take it!
The Jimny has rekindled and redoubled my Love of Fuss-free Motoring.
Real Nostalgia for the 1980s era when we were based here in the Nilgiris.
