But am starting to see more and more Sparks on the roads these days which is not good news as I want to maintain the exclusivity factor .
Good work done in getting yourself a spark. Take it on a highway and you would never feel like stopping.

good news is nothing broke, nothing fell off. so the build must be good.
Even I met with an accident. It was on highly congested road and the vehicles were moving atround 20 to 30kmph. Unfortunate for me, the person in the front had braked and I had to hard brake. There was a Bolero behind me and he came straight "BANG" on my back.

Thank God nothing happened to the car. Not even a scratch. I was really surprised. The car is really built well, I hope.

My car doesnot come with a ODO. To hear the engine sound my ears should be very sharp, as I had said earlier the engine noise is very minimal or null in side the cabin.

Pics of my car coming up soon...
