Mr Sen, your preparations have even making me anxious about the delivery of your beast. So has it arrived or not?

sen2009 · 30th April 2009, 00:33

Got it!

Will post details and pictures tomorrow as its a bit late now and will have to get up really early tomorrow.

Thanks to every Team Bhpians for tolerating me during the waiting period.

PS: - No squeaks, no rattles, no hassles. Is this for real?

Good Luck Mate! Makes me very happy to see a fellow SUV lover getting to realise his dream. Do put in a few good words in your daily prayers for those of us who aspire to join you soon.

I reached the showroom around 6:30 in the evening.
The car was being vaccum cleaned at the showroom. I met up with my sales guy, exchanged greetings.

First thing was to complete the pre delivery checklist. Started to go through with it slowly but picked up the pace as nothing was wrong on first 10-15 points.

By the time I came out completing that, my wife had reached. She along with my mom were vigorously instructing few guys who were decorating the car with ribbons and flowers. While this was going for a while, a senior looking guy came out of the office and strated co-ordinating the decorations.
Had he not stepped in, we would have still been trying various colored ribbons. In the end the decoration looked nice.

Me and Wifey quickly took a pose.

All my guests also had reached by then, so... celebration time.

We all had a bite and distributed it among all staff there.

All the while I laughed like a child! Man am I happy or not.

Next - Puja and Tyre Change...

gowda79 · 30th April 2009, 20:51

Sen, thanks for putting up the pictures and from my heart i say that this kind of celebration was never seen by me.

The family & friends celebration along with the Champagne, its just wow.

Keep the pictures coming and post the ownership review and the tyre change details.

We could see in your face at the steering, yourself thinking

Eddy · 30th April 2009, 20:56

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

This is the grandest delivery of any car that I have seen or heard about. I hope and pray that your experience with the car turns out to be as joyful.

All the best and drive safe

HappyWheels · 30th April 2009, 20:59

WOW! That was one unique celebration! Never seen one before like this!

Champagne and cake! If it was not for the family photo with the car, this could seriously be taken as a mini marriage party itself!

Congrats and wishing you many miles of happiness and "reclaiming"!

And yes, your grin says it ALL!!!

Red Liner · 30th April 2009, 21:16

Oh my god! That was phenomenal! I celebrated my new car almost like a Vampire slinking away from the crack of dawn! Different strokes for different folks I guess. I also tore out the meaningless ribbon my dealer had put up in front of him. I think the sales guys cried because I was so insensitive.
