| Senior - BHPian | Today its so cloudy in Bangalore and raing in few areas. How much we wished that it rains during FCB meet! Even on Monsoon Meet we missed the rain and on Aug 1st too. May be we should consult the MET Dept. before deciding on meet dates or else we decide a Meet instantly on a day when it's raining heavily!!  |

Mehul1100: tussi great ho ji!! Premier padmini site member Vaitheeshwaran made stickers to distribute all the fiat owners of tamil nadu, hats off to u, i am speechless seeing the fiatism in you - Mr.Vaitheeshwaran. Sujith, MB, Arun and me are extremely proud to see at the extent you are working hard, to keep the spirits of a Premier Padmini and FIATs high.  You have done something which no other Fiat enthusuast has done. FCB proudly declares that you deserve some more gifts from us.

FCB will give such awards to those who care more for others' Fiats than for their own Fiat. Classic and proven example- Mr. Behram Dhabhar. Last edited by funkykar : 4th August 2010 at 22:58. | |

The site premierpadmini is all jus because of Arun S only what ever may be the reason. The sticker idea came from my friend Narendra Kale, first sticker was sent to him 6 months back and the work got a push up from Vaitheeshwaran. Special thanks to Arun S, without him I wont be writing in here also. Thanks Arun S. | |

| Senior - BHPian | A date with an IPS officer. A memorable day for Arun and me! Quote:
Arun and me were were going on Infantry Road and suddenly decided to have a look at IPS Mr. Nizamuddin's Fiats. We were just standing on the footpath and staring the palatial bunglow. As the compound is more than 10,000 sqft, we could not see the cars properly. Then some dogs spotted us and started barking. We did not have the courage to go inside the compound. Then suddenly Mr. Nizamuddin saw us and called us inside his STUNNING '30s bungalow. What we thought would be a 5 min chat, turned out to be a 4 hrs GRILLING discussion!!!!! He questioned us so much about Fiats, FCB, our personal life(what we were doing near his house at 2pm on a weekday.. he he he). He told us how good Bangalore was before the IT boom. A pensioner's paradise!! After we gave an intro about FCB, he asked us to tell 5 reasons why a non Fiatian should own a Fiat. We told him the usual stuff but he was not satisfied at all at the reasons we gave. He then gave a neat explanation of how to convince one to own a Fiat by giving some real gyaan of his 30 years of Fiating. The two cars were a 1970 Delight and a 1987 Padmini. Both have not been touched since a decade. The Delight was being used by the Commissioner and his wife till 1996 when he bought a M 800. He asked us to explain him in detail about the restoration process of a Padmini. We explained as much as we could. Hopefully he will restore his car soon. All in all, he convinced us that we are still not well prepared to speak to such high personalities. Point is: It was a learning experience for us to interact with such a senior person. He gave lots of inputs on how to live a happy and peaceful life. We spoke for an hour about Fiats, but the rest of the hours was like a counselling session for us. FCB has for surely changed our lives directly and indirectly. Another FCBian was a Chief Secretory to Govt. of Karnataka. Like this we meet so many different personalities daily just cos of our Fiats and FCB! Pics of the Commissioner, his cars and bungalow soon. Last edited by funkykar : 6th August 2010 at 20:07. | |
