konjaril	ha ha, yes i know, it was an error from the GM service centre, i had changed the speedometer console and they inputed one extra zero in the new console by mistake..Actual reading is 57,739	22nd November 2010
akshay4587	Is it my eyes,or the Odo is showing 5L kms???????	21st November 2010
Grafin	Oh. Well, not too many have the cojones to push the limits of our rides. 210kmph on our roads is pretty commendable :) Well id be surprised if you werent punctual for a meeting looking at the kinda rides you have ;)	11th October 2010
konjaril	Well i managed 210 kph on the Mumbai-Pune highway and believe me she had so much more the rev-meter was only till 4500 and the throttle position was only halfway, the only hitch was i dint have the 'Kahoonas' big enough to push her harder :P She was purring like a sweet kitten but solid like a rock. it was quite an experience but i dint do it out of fun i was really late for a trip from Mumbai and had to reach in time..which i did too..lol	4th October 2010
Grafin	I understand :) Whats the top speed you managed on the Vectra so far?	4th October 2010
konjaril	well buddy i do really find the Mondeo very competent but i am not a great fan of its looks no offense meant to moneo lovers its one of the best cars in its segment .Somehow its a personal thing. :)	2nd October 2010
Grafin	Well, I can understand. Only true petrol heads can understand the value of good cars and the way they make you feel :) I was surprised not to see a Mondeo in your garage though ;)	1st October 2010
konjaril	Thanks a lot, i myself have never regretted on any of the cars they have really served me well, my friends would know, once i start talking about my car they cant get me to Shut up :)	1st October 2010
Grafin	A quick glance at your garage and a typical Indian would say you own a bunch of white elephants :) I say you have a good collection of darn good cars down there.	30th September 2010
