YetiBlog® - The Yeti®, Normally_Crazy and The Tata Nano drive to Delhi!

Sam Kapasi · 3rd October 2009, 04:23

4:10 The alarm goes off. I give in to instinct and snooze it. 5 minutes later, guilt takes over and I raise myself.

NC has arrived last night, to save time. We went for a quick spin and filled petrol last night. I am used to the attendants swarming round the car by now.
It's too small! Too small to drive to Delhi! I am still laughing at NC's first words as he walked in last night.

It has taken him 5 seconds of driving to guess that there is too much air in the tyres. Me? All these days I thought the car was plain bumpy.

4.55 we have left for Vapi. And so it begins.

satyamenon · 3rd October 2009, 05:18

Best of luck guys. Take plenty of pictures and post up once you reach Delhi.

Sam Kapasi · 3rd October 2009, 05:59

5.55; its been an hour since we've left. We've covered about 56kms. The road has been pathetic in many places.

NC has been driving since we've left. Its too dark to take photos, I've made a few videos.

Hello fellows,

We have reached Vapi right now - 2.5 hours from Sam's place and 171 kms. Doing good time. Plan is to re-fuel in Valsad.

The fuel gauge is at half tank - we shall update the FE after re-fuel.

raveen_2023 · 3rd October 2009, 07:35

good luck guys. i am pretty sure you will have a fun trip with nano.

Sam Kapasi · 3rd October 2009, 07:41

We've stopped for fuel somewhere near Vapi. Managed 8.28 litres making our FE about 20.5 so far.
