Ive quite a few of these lying around at home! 'will need to check how many of these are working though, unless you want to fit them only for the sake of originality!

Hey Shyam, you know they look so cool, I could even use one as a pendant !!

I have two on the dash I recently picked up, but would love to stock a few more..

Your wife woudnt be too happy at that you know!! Also, The rubber beadings will be difficult to obtain...not impossible but difficult. Even 3112's beading isnt in brilliant shape from what i remember.

Wife - ? Hah, she's almost given up on me !! Btw on the rubber beadings, I've heard one can get them in delhi, at a place called kashmiri gate or something like that.. any inputs guys ? Also, how does one store / preserve them in this Godawful weather ? I know a guy who keeps his (original) super select wiper blade in the fridge from october through may every year !!

I will do that as soon as i get a CD of the show.

Your cars the LHD and 1144 doesnt have the wipers on the passengers side?

how come the LHD is out in the rain?

DHABHAR.BEHRAM · 12th August 2008, 11:40

Hello Sumantra - how are you?

BLB1144's left side wheel box arm holding adaptor is broken, I am putting it off till I dismantle the car for restoration (if I finally decide so). I have 3 sets of brand new wiper arms and blades lying with me at home. I guess I overlooked. Thanks for reminding. I will fit all new ones. This reminds me, I still need to fix the degassing tank overflow pipe in the LHD too.

Why is the LHD out in the rain? I do not have any place to park it so it gets wet everyday, so might as well use it. What is the point in taking so much effort and then hiding them all the time.

Best regards,

Behram Dhabhar

this is confusing - then why do you keep the red/black and the 1100S off the rain?

OT:
but it is true that parking these beauties is a major pain - i got a covered single garage for the padmini, after i bought the palio. the garage rent for the covered parking is twice what we pay for the other 2 cars.

The coverage was unimpressive, to say the least.

In today's world, Ambys and Fiats are all about nostalgia and the good old days. And these fellows were trying to explain how modern cars are better. Grrrr...

P.S - BLB 1144 needs a coat of blue, please! Mr. Dhabhar, are you listening????
P.P.S. - Rally stripe looks killer! How about painting on the roof too?

Cyrus43 · 13th August 2008, 23:41

No stripes on the roof Salil, it will not look good. Also, i managed to have a small accident in 1144 today...The front is a litle damaged.
