So tell me, where can I get this done?

you can get it done in any car accessory shop, but you can never say which one is the best! so i am searching for a good shop who has done many such jobs before, no compromises on my scorpio...

My humble contribution to this thread.

Pic of my 2005 CRDE SLX. Clicked on way to Chitrkoot (UP). Beautiful stretch in a historical location. Was doing a pilgrim of central and northern India. Several thousand kilometers across varied geography but never a word of protest from the Scorpio !

Anup, my contributions & for the interval you requested. Posting only the pics of the Scorpio to do justice to the title of the thread

Some old pics first. Years old - before the make over

AC Road - Allappuzha


Under a street light with cochin city in the background


Pictersque - On the way to Red Hills Estate - Ootty


Red Hills


My Little Hummvee look alike?


Now Some pics from Idukki
Ramakkalmedu


Scorpio's rear looks Dull compared to a Safari


Arch Dam of Idukki


Just to compare the size of the Dam. Look at that Amby parked under it


Greenberg resorts in idukki - Kulamavu - I missed a 4WD here


in front of the KTDC Beer parlour - Malampuzha


In a Bay Bridge - somewhere between Alleppey & Kollam Districts


During the Dusk


Now Some Recent OOTTY Pics - Again on the way to Red Hill Estates - My favourite hide out in OOtty.

No Water in the Avalanche Dam Reservoir


Can you see that bridge?


Green everywhere


One of My Favourite Hill Stations in Kerala - Nelliampathy

During a Foggy Day


Same pic from different angle - changed the mood


Seriously once again i hope you didnt get bored seeing my Scorp again & again. but these are only few of it & my wife always complains that all Road trip photos ends up in Scorpio Pics, which is true.

Absolutely amazing!

How come your car looks so much better than mine?!

As for posting pics of the lovely places that she's taken you to, I don't think we need to have the Scorpio in EACH pic. At times, to covey the spirit, it can be just a pic of the place!

So then, we want more!
The lush greenery of places down south always amazes me. No, I'm not saying the grass is greener on the other side, LOL! I'd rather be close to the Himalayas.


@Drive factor: Welcome!
We never post just ONE pic! Some more please!
And your Scorpio will also need to be included in our 'collage'! But I think we'll wait for one or two more, so that a row (3 cars) can be completed.

And what a beautiful dirty backside your Scorpio has in that photo!

THIS is what any prospective buyer would love to hear about the Scorpio!
That is what I am still trying to find out: Does the Scorpio let you down badly, far away from home, EVER??

every scorpio looks good, in its own way i feel. the only exceptions are badly maintained ones.

as for your second satement, NEVER !!!

[anupmathur]

Here is a small dose for today.
These pics are from the recent trip to our favourite haunt - Kasol, Parvati valley.

[razor4077]

Mathur saab, been following your posts. Read your travelogue on the other site too. Excellent pics and excellent narration! Please keep them coming.

@all Scorpio owners who have posted pics: great pics guys

Ha, you are not alone in wondering how mansidea's Scorpio looks so much better than any other Scorpio you see on the road.

I have never felt that a Scorpio scores in the looks department, especially with the blandest/boring rear in the business, but the moment you set eyes on his Scorpio (in flesh or in pics), you start admiring the looks.

If it was just the pics, I would think he does some black magic with his camera while shooting his Scorpio. But I have seen his Scorpio in the flesh/metal and man it looks cool.

@mansidea, Beautiful !
Btw, when's you next getaway to your fav hideout ?

@anup.ji, kya hua ? Scorp is taking a break from two of the pics here ?

Keep them coming, folks.

LOL, Condor, I wouldn't have known where to put the Scorpio in those two pics! Certainly NOT in the Parvati River!

More to do with this thought:

Does that sound OK? Will really enrich the thread and lure more 'lurkers' to come and see it!

[condor]

But this thread is supposed to be dedicated to the machines ! Not to the places that they have been to ..

An intrinsic thrill of owning any such machine lies in what one can do with it; ie. in this instance, the wonderful places that it can take you to! And the resultant report of the difficulties and problems encountered is a valuable statement on the machine and of great interest to its prospective buyers!
After all, this machine was designed for the serious tourer! It finds relevance when those places are also linked.

I'm afraid, Sir, if you do not agree, you may post your disagreement with full freedom!

[condor]

Agree with your first point. But extending all other, though related topics into this thread will dilute the essence of this thread.

Not to say we dont want to hear about your travels - we have a full section dedicated to that. A separate travelogue will mean there is focus to that specific trip alone in the particular thread, instead of having a hodge-podge (not to mention just bits & pieces) of all travelogues by all Scorp owners, into one thread.

Why mess it up, when we can spread it beautifully, one trip per thread, by every single Scorp owner ?
