Haha, reminds me of my learning to drive days.
Used to rent a 2004 santro, 150,000 driven and only paid the dude 1500 for 24 hours. Used to rent for 3 days straight(CNG :P) and i practiced on that car. Drove it more than 4000km lol. Floored it, hand brake turns, a bit of off-roading, you name it! Scratched it, dented it everything done to that poor car.
Even got a 227km average on CNG... i think it had 60kg cylinder or 55kg one. used to change 1st gear at 40, 2nd at 70, 3rd at 100 and that too on CNG lol.
Miss that Santro
