Hey cool stuff guys. The Conti looks mean. I'm surprised to hear that the CRdi could'nt keep up with the Conti in the straights. I thought it would be the opposite. Whats the 0-60 of the Conti anyways?

0-60 of a carburetted Contessa is roughly the same as that of a carb Zen. However, over long periods the Conti feels way more relaxed holding high speeds.
The Accent CRDi can easily outrun the Conti on straights. It's just that Drifter and the others were driving on this road for the first time while I have travelled on it since I was really, really young. Overtaking heavy vehicles is where the difference lay.

No doubt . IMO It just doesn't seem a part of india from any angle, i mean the living is so simple , the people are so clean clear hearted(no offence to anyone) that you just feel you altogether are in a different country .
Everything is just so cool , different from what we see in the metros . I ve been a big fan of Goans since the first time i came here 2 years ago .

I am currently in goa and will be here for sometime .
BTW is there any bhpian staying in goa ? would love to ve a meet over here , what say guys ??

I got the car painted last year. I wanted alloy wheels, but, ran out of money. Painting the wheels black was actually, just an experiment.
