Plus, the car you've chosen is one of the (if not THE) best production cars ever ... just trust me when I say this tirade will be more than worth it in the end! (Not that you need any bolstering...)
Here's three cheers to you and your venture ... all our best wishes are with you ... go, go, go! |
Thank you. I dont think she would be one of the best production cars of her time, but one of the over engineered Marvels yes. Quote:

Your most welcome Adheesh.
Sunday Morning was the Fiat club meet and i was to take my fathers friends fiat for it, but in his diary he forgot to note it and went on a business trip. I kept calling but no reply and the phone went off. A little dissappointed i wondered what to do as it would get boring to take one of the new cars again for the meet, as my mind was tuned to be driving a Fiat. I just thought to myself why not give the Big Daddy her first taste of the Tarmac. I called my friend where the car stands for work and made hime come to the open the Garage to take her out. I had to test her out anyways and said what better time than sunday morning.
On the way to the Oberoi, I did get alot of feedback from the car as what all she needed, the issues like i thought are not the reality, but the reality are things i never thought off.
The car drove smooth upto the point she got heated and then there was a cloud of smoke from one pipe, this was either the exhaust which was part new was setting in or one Banks head Gasket needed replacement. The car also had this funny sound each time you would let go of the Accelerator and this was very annoying. I mean liitle chimes of metal touching each other came from the rear left and only if you concentrate then you hear it.
The sadest part was when i got off the sea link the front left indicator light fell off and by the time i went to pick it up a safari guy drove over it and shattered it to pieces . I was wondering how it fell off but then i guess the boys working on the car must not have tightend the bolts. Anyways whats gone is gone and a new one is being called.
Some pictures I took outside the Oberoi. |
