Arrey give me time till the weekend ! Need to plan it out as we have so many photo-gurus in the forum - cant let them down with bad pics. Besides, you dont really get good backgrounds to shoot against in dry dry du-buy.

I could always post a cameraphone pic in a few minutes...but thats not what we expect, is it?

Nice report there Steeroid! Yes, the photos gotta follow now.

Steeroid · 5th May 2006, 19:27

Pictures updated on my gallery. They're not too scenic, but of decent quality. Will update more scenic pics at leisure.

compared to the size of the car the tires look quite puny.(see side profile pic of car in your gallery).. what size are those... maybe you need to change them first... The car looks awesome saar... congrats again..

Update for all the 'Mileage Kya Hai' queries - after one week of SANE driving (mostly cruising between 140-160, >200 on just a couple of occassions, some amount of heavy traffic) the car returns about 8.5kmpl, which compares reasonably with my old Mondy. The Mondy used to manage about 9 kmpl in similar conditions.

340bhp and 8.5kpl??
My 58bhp ikon gives the same in city with AC on and a slightly heavy foot.

And anyways, when u pay around Rs.10 per litre, u wouldn't care $hit about mileage unless it was 1 kmpl.

We pay about Rs.20 per litre. Diesel's about Rs.30.

Update: HUGE improvement in roadholding after changing rubber to the not-so-special Bridgestone Turanza GR80 (235/45/R17 before the tyring questions start) from the older Yokohamas. I'm back on the road!

No justice done bro, Ur ride deserves em pics here....

hey steeroid
me too owned a lumina ss. Though it was a 2000 make I dont think they have made any changes in terms of power and as you said its really a very very powerful car. I sold off my lumina six months ago and bought a Hummer H2. Driving a Hummer is make u feel like u own the road and the evil side of ur mind wakes up as soon as u step in.

BTW which year was your lumina bolted?

Currently I own a Hummer H2.
