Thank vanam. Selling the Dodge was a difficult decision, considering our family connect with the car. As you rightly said, the Daimler is a great upgrade. Sripathi is part of the extended family and he shares a personal relationship with all the members at home. Our well wisher, we cannot thank him enough. Quote:
