And with the travel log now updated, I am in big big dilemma - whether to stop all travels now till September and save up for the Ladakh tour or to go with a 8-day tour this June summer and if possible another in the monsoon season. Each and every tour before any September Ladakh tour will put that tour in absolute jeopardy, fund wise - things are quite tough now and rougher for a freelancer.
Decisions, decisions ...!!
Anyway a superlative performance from the Safari VTT, proving once again that VTT product is an absolute fantastic machine - a qualitiative and quantitative jump from the previous 3.0 model.
Safari VTT-TMT has seen it all in these 1.5 years much beyond what its odometer [30k servicing coming shortly] would signify - from no roads to concrete expressways - and has brought us back to safety, home and/or the hotel base, safe and sound each and everytime without fail.
The space and comfort of sofa driving, the endless cruisability, and the fantastic torque and ground clearence - has made me make a journey of all terrains in this 2wd. And to thank Tata Motors to make me just stretch and afford something like a big-sized SUV[
with claddings] for 7.2 L ex-fac!! - otherwise I would be driving up a sedan or hatch till now.
So are we not glad that we chose the Safari 2.2 VTT over other products - You bet we are!!!
Two classic photos that must be in this ownership thread - and of course a whole lot are there in the travelogues and in the garage photo list.
