Happy driving dude. (I can definitely see that on your face from the pic. LOL) |
Hehe, yeah. This morning I was grinning like an idiot navigating the Hinjewadi traffic with just my right foot. I am planning to put in black and beige Stanley leather (VW quoted 20.5K, will check outside) since the original beige fabric is just too delicate and will not last long with an active kid in the back seat! Also wanted to leather-wrap the steering wheel (VW said it would cost 4-5K and 4 days in the shop!)- my Swift has a leather-wrap and I love the grip and feel of it. From my highway run the other night, the headlamps are inadequate but I don't want to void the warranty, so will slot that in as part of the roadmap (along with upgrades to fat tyres, maybe in 2 years!).
About kitnaa detee hai, I am fortunate that my daily run has a mix of highway and city traffic. Today's trip showed 11.6 kmpl, which I think is just fantastic (I am expecting 9-10 at best overall). Quote:

Any long trips planned with the new AT? |
Thanks. Yes- will drive up to Mumbai next weekend and show off to the guys I grew up around- always a great feeling eh? Have to take care not to let her rip too much on the e-way though! Quote:

I am of the opinoin that Teflon coating really helps. My Ikon used to shine even after three and half years. I think you did a good thing. |
That feels good to know! I am smiling at everyone who flashes/honks at me these days, assuming it is a TBHPian or just a car-frek showing appreciation. Quote:

OT: It is Fräulein and not Fraülein (a - umlaut) |
Oh dear it is, isn't it? This is why one shouldn't muck around with foreign languages! Thanks for pointing it out and for the good wishes. Quote:

Go ahead for the Team BHP stickers, but would sujjest you dont done the car with them. Instead place them on the rear and front windshield. A white car is beautiful, if left to its entire flawless self |
Yeah I know what you mean- in fact it gets my craw that the plates have the dealer's name on them- they would look so clean otherwise (advantage of a white car). I was thinking of only one sticker strategically placed at the back anyway. Quote:

Jesal got a nice HU with multiple fetures for his vento - you can check out his thread. |
Like dreamcatcher, I love the knobs and overall feel of the HU which is why I am not planning to change it. Quote:

Happy for you!
No need to say Enjoy! I could feel the excitement in every word you've written here.
Hope you have a very safe and long relationship with this White Beauty. |
Sure man- we should meet up. Will get her for the next tapri meet! Quote:

Would be following this thread for further updates and travelogues. Also would be on the lookout for a VENTO with a Team Bhp sticker in Pune. |
I don't have those yet! But look for an XXYY registration for now ok? |
