congrats ishaan for the beast. Though i think you should have kept your dhanno as well!
Dhanno and gabbar would have been a nice combination :P

Ricky_63 · 6th February 2009, 21:23

Seems Ishaan is putting on miles on the car & is hence off the forum !!

Aisa hi hota hai bhaiya !!

Having fun with Gabbar ??

Cheers

now i'd like to hear about you on the whole diesel fun to drive thread

architect · 7th February 2009, 01:55

IIRC somebody was mentioning "Diesels having an initial surge which makes them painful to drive in city traffic" or words to that effect on the Petrol vs Diesel FTD thread.

And then he goes and buys the car with the maximum "initial surge". Blame it on the recession!

भैय्याजी, dunno much about small cars and don't generally keep a track of them too. But yes, did like the Dhanno and its rear boom. Sad, you had to let go of her. Must've had compelling reasons.

This Getz CRDi that you tried to masquerade as a petrol has one little brute of a powerplant sitting inside. I know it. Had to draw on all my driving experience and skill to keep this young lad at bay on NH8 while the Bull was screaming at 130+ and smoking from the rear.

KP was heard cruising at 150+ on Rajasthan roads very recently. Gives a decent mileage too. An outside box should boost it to 135BHP. My advice - do it only after 20K kms. The diesel will comfortably settle by then. If possible use Mobil Delvac MX or Delo 400 from day one. You'll be a happy diesel head.

More advice once you take this Brahmin to a watering hole... You better do that fast if you want the "1.1" to be blessed...

Arre O Sambha! Ye Gabbar Kaha Chupke baitha hua hai re?....:-D(where is Gabbar hiding?)

Ricky_63 · 8th February 2009, 20:03

Ishaan wake up the dream is over - you are actually driving an insane diesel. "Ab aaya oonth pahaad ke neeche"

May we have you surface with some comments on it's monstrous capabilities !!

He's gone wild somewhere in Wynad. Northern Bhaiyya is getting a good dhulaai there.

Hope his Gabbar is hidden somewhere neat!

abhik · 8th February 2009, 20:38

@ where on earth is Wynad? And what an old rusty paintless M800 doing on your avtar pic?

ankitahuja · 8th February 2009, 20:51

I think Gabbar is asking Holi kab hai, kab hai Holi and will only come out then.

Abhik, I think you're at work. Kaam kar le

Guys, please keep the discussion focussed on the car only. Any other messages may be PM'ed to him.

abhik · 9th February 2009, 17:03

@GTO trust me we are trying our best as we are all inqusitive about how its doing etc but the absence of the owner and his car is making us lose focus. And its frustrating.

Sorry boys, had been travelling for the past few days & just came back tonight. She's only done 315 kms in total :( But some big trips are up in this week & so I shall be crossing the run-in mark by the end of the weekend!

Hey Raghave, the color od your Getz is beautiful..i too am planning to buy it. What is the color name, is it Berry Red or Electric Red.

Nikhilb2008 · 18th February 2009, 14:21
