It's been two or three months when I randomly hit this thread and it did not let me distract. Anyhow, today I reached last post. Very informative and helpful forum. Such forums are very useful for beginners like me. Salute to pioneer @nfsmostwanted and all other participants who kept it live for such a long time. Keeping a car is an art which needs passion.
Two years back, ignoring everyone advice to get Mehru (budget approx 6 lac), I went for Cultoo (my children named it). It is VXLi 2009 in almost stock condition. In these two years, I've driven it above 22000 km, and it never disappointed me. Very reliable, economical and comfortable car. All my friends now appreciate my decision.
You may call me lazy or whatever, I've never tried anything even close to your DIYs. Three reasons; budget, lack of time and non availability of tools. But now I am inspired and naturally got motivated, so I feel I am doing injustice to this little beauty. I'll try to follow you guys and will keep you posted about all the things (if ever happen
)
