Hi Everybody - My "Independence Day Wishes" to all of you.

I had taken the Logan for another 900+ kms journey this weekend.

To answer the question "What is the mileage with AC".

19kmpl. Almost 100% AC and a lot of 3rd and 4th gear drives for about 100~120kms. Max speed of 110kmph (120 in the GQ but for a short distance)

Somebody cast an evil eye. And i received the first dent in my Car. This stupid bus was standing at the extreme left of a narrow road. I was honking all the way. When i was about to enter the gap, this guy turns right - No hand signal / turn indicators. Panic brakes applied..Wheels locked. Car drifted towards the bus and broke my left Rear View mirror (Glass did not break, but something inside the door that holds the RVM broke) and got two dents on the left wheel arches

. Somebody had razed the shrubs along the corner of the road and when the tyres went over them, i lost traction. Had an argument with the driver who immediatey accepted his fault and begged for his inability to pay up.

The dents are minor (will try and upload pics later). Have informed my service people about this immediatly and got an assurance that this can be settled through the insurance route, if it warrants (read - cost of repairs being high)

Post this trip, the car is ready for its first service and have appointment for Thursday. The booking experience (being the first time) was quite nice. I asked for a service pickup from office, but was informed that the service centre was new (For Logan) and had only one driver. There was also an assurance that going ahead, this should improve.

Since the logan has done extremely well in July, India Garage is hosting a dinner at the "Buharis Blue Lagoon Hotel", Neelankarai, Chennai tomorrow and i have been invited. Way to go.
