Happy Birthday to GG! That picture actually looks like a birthday party where all the guests have circled the cake. Love how you've placed Gods on the chair too.

Going to our homepage tomorrow

Happy birthday to GG!

Your post's keep inspiring me to pick up a Dolphin/800 to restore and use it, hopefully in the not too far future I will come across a good opportunity.

Also special mention to the yellow Priya which looks amazing!

Beautiful garage

This celebration has made my day really. She looks so cheerful, looking at the cake with her bright eyes and her beautiful smile on the grill. Kudos to you Shashi and my hearitiest congratulations. Many more to come...

Happy Birthday to GG.

Congratulations to Leoshashi, you have very well maintained the car of over two decades old.

It reminded me of my Maruti 800DX

Wish you many more years and miles ahead.

Wow, congratulation to you and GG. Hats off to you for maintaining the car like this and arranging a Party with it's mat. These photos are heart touching. I am inspired to keep my Polo like this for more than 20 years.

Congratulations and thank you so much for posting this. Brought back so many memories to me. Hope you cherish it even more.

A Naples Yellow Maruti 800 was my families first car and served us for 17 years. My sister cried the day it left our garage. I suppose its our uniquely Indian value system that makes us fall in love and get attached to inanimate objects like its a family member. I hope we never lose this.

Happy birthday to G G . It requires a lot of nurturing to get to 24. Kudos to you. Cake on wheel is absolutely brilliant.

Start looking for a bride for GG now, Shashi sir. Very happy birthday to Golden Goose. May she lives a long healthy life. I wish to meet GG someday. My 1995 SB turned 29 this Feb too.
Surprised to see Jimny here. Maybe i missed some post regarding it.
Happy & safe rides, sir.
