Waiting

: Image via Wikipedia

Its been a period of waits the past few months..

Waiting for my Whitefeather to come back from the service center.. the accident happened on Oct 2010. Today Whitefeather went for its first test drive and the very sound of the engine was like smooth scotch.. I could imagine it smiling to say hello when I heard this.. Atta Boy !! I am so eagerly waiting for you.. Come back soon..

Now we have to get the Chassis number from the RTO which would have happened in a day if we coughed up 10,000/- as bribe but we decided not to do this.. So the wait again..Its difficult to get things done without bribery.

Also Mahindra has been helpful and is also replacing our brakes with some modified brakes.. because of the escalation Rocks took up..So we are now satisfied with the customer service.. and the quick response

And we have got Bridgestone Tyres as replacement to the damaged tyres finally. Apollo sucks.. Planning to change the other two tyres as well.. later..

So now we wait… car is ready.. but we have to wait till RTO deigns it ok to give us our number.. Sigh.. so near yet so far..

My two cents : It’s a pleasure to drive this vehicle, on road and off road.

Its stable and low maintenance and very dependable as a family car in the city and on the highway.
