I'll be posting that soon. I hope it will be motivating for other women folks to overcome their fear of driving too Quote:

Never been to a garage except for the routine scheduled servicing and only at that time getting any of the minor complaints looked into. Served me well. Have sold it and will hand over the keys on the 20th - that was the condition of the sale. Its going to be a sad day, I guess. Can understand what you are saying, Titanium. Anticipation of the TUV is making up for that feeling. |
I can understand how you feel about your Xylo. It might sound weird, but I was tearful when I saw my Chevrolet Beat going with it's new owner. I have travelled long distances with her. Visited many places in southern part of India, Rameshwaram, Srisailam, Kollam, Cochin, Nashik, Goa, Pune etc etc. The list goes on. But she never gave up on me. She had covered 46,500 Kms in 3 years. I'll always cherish her. I am sure your Xylo will be safe and fine with it's new owner. Hope you get your TUV300 very soon and you begin a new journey with the tank. Quote:

That is a good coincidence, but I was at Murudeshwar on Tuesday with my family. I drove in the morning and was back by night. Thanks for the compliment. The credit goes to my brother as he clicked the picture. Congratulations on your new XUV500. Your Battle Cat looks awesome. He is ready to rule the jungle Quote:

And what better way than to start on TBHP with the first post being that of the new TUV.
What struck me when I saw TITANIUM was, 'what is FORD doing here on the TUV thread. Must be an EcoSport owner'.
TUV in red looks good. Seem that RED is the color preferred by the ladies. My wife, too, insisted on red, but when it comes to matters on automobiles, I get to say the final word - ORANGE or BLACK. And on the remaining matters too, I get to say the final word which normally is - "Okay, I agree. We ll do it that way"
Thanx Titanium, and I believe you too would not regret your choice. Happy Miles and Motoring. Nice photos with Murudeshwar as the back drop. We go there once in a year and normally stay at the same place RNS Residency, always asking them for a sea facing room. I love that place. But nowadays it is becoming too crowded for comfort. |
Thanks Captain Rex. You've done a great job with the ownership review, 'A tank to tame the road'.
I acknowledge that Titanium is Ford Ecosport's top end variant. But the reason I chose the name is because 'titanium' is a strong metal of high tensile strength. When my husband passed away due to heart attack four years back, my entire world came crumbling down. He was my best friend and I always considered myself as one of the luckiest woman in the world to have him as my soulmate. Titanium refers to my journey after his death, the mental trauma that I have gone through of losing him, the hurdles that I have faced. I have conquered fear, anxiety, and overcome grief.
TUV300 stands for the same too, Tough to the Core !! It is a coincidence that the tank was launched on my husband's 4th death anniversary, September 10th. It is also a coincidence that it resembles Jeep Cherokee which was the car that he owned. A sign from the Universe.
There is a saying which goes ' When the disciple is ready, the master appears'. This implies to me with the entry of TUV300 in my life. I am prepared to drive a tank !
My son was adamant in choosing the colour red. I was dangling between silver and red. He is 10 years old but he is my Boss. I am glad to know that you visit Murudeshwar too. That place is divine. Here is a picture of my late husband's Jeep Grand Cherokee.
