Back then you were either a Fiat family or an Ambassador family. We were an ambassador family but I always lusted for a Fiat. In my opinion it was fast and sporty and made all the right noises whereas the Amby was like a old cow. My uncle owned one and I could'nt wait to get a ride in it every once in a while.

Well its easy to find fault, but lets remember that both your grandfather and mine were around at the same time (as well as others) and had the same opportunities but none of them did what Walchand Hirachand did or came up with a better car.
