Sunday drive: Scorpio(n) king in mummy land!

For the first time ever, an Indian made car was shot with the Sphinx and the pyramids of Giza as a backdrop; the hefty $2,000 fee was entirely worth it

The car in front of me has a boy sticking his head out of the sunroof, breathing exhaust fumes and completely oblivious to the gnarl of traffic around him. There’s honking from aggressive drivers trying to muscle past my Mahindra Scorpio whilst helmetless bikers with two or more pillions (also without helmets) weave in and out of small gaps that momentarily open up in the bumper-to-bumper crawl. A scene out of a crowded Indian city? Not quite.
