Became Punto Emotion-ed on 27th Jun 2012!

[dharmesh]

Guys, bought 'Belkin' car charger from Ebay Earlier was using multi pin charger. But, felt its better to replace it with universal USB charger. I use car charger mainly during long drive or during emergencies, not on a regular basis. Here are the pics -

Sorry I have belkin one only, By mistake I said blackberry. But this one does not fits properly in the slot, so need to do some sort of padding with papers on the metal arcs provided. And then it just slots perfectly into the hole.

^^ dharmesh, I have used it only couple of times till now and luckily did not face any issue. Let me check in future.

Btw, guys this is an interesting website for FIAT spares - www.99rpm.com Heard its managed by a passionate Fiat owner.

Am seeing wiper blades priced at 900 & rear wiper at 690 in the site. Considering the quality of Punto's wiper blades, I dont mind paying 900 for spotless wipes.

And Logos available for Rs.400 and TASS charged me Rs.1000.

Yes, the site appears a good place to buy stuffs like logos. They are available at decent prices. Its a good option for people who face logo theft incidents

@CF

That looks simple and good, for how much you got it and how many days it took to reach you, can you provide the link to me

 

[carfreak]

@ RK, I bought it under 'deal of the day' offer at Ebay for Rs175. It took @ 4-5 days to reach. Try your luck, hope the link still works - NEW UNIVERSAL BELKIN MICRO USB CAR CHARGER FOR APPLE IPHONE 3GS 4G IPOD MP3 MP4 | eBay

PS: Please note that this is charger alone. I bought the cable at a local shop for Rs 80.

Re: A 'dozen k' kms milestone

^^ Congrats RK. Welcome to online shopping world !

Btw, friends, completed 'dozen k' kms of 'emotional' association with my Punto She derserves a detailed review I guess [thinking]

 

[Gurrala74]

@CF Congrats buddy for Dozen K , yes it needs a detailed report as well a celebration when I a in Bangalore

BTW, Today I received that Belkin charger fro ebay and its fits perfectly in power socket and charges the phone. I am left with a stand for the mobile to buy before I proceed to Bangalore.

Why you bought a cable, the same data cable given by Nokia with the charger can be used in the car, ok if you want both to be separate then its fine

Thanks RK. For sure we shall celebrate Yeah, need to pen down a report!

Good to know it fits in the slot Yes, a car mobile holder is extremely usefull when you are using navigation.

Yes, I shall never remove car charger and cable from car. Because in case I do, it will never come back to car again . Hence, bought an additional one.

RK, many thanks Yes, it was Bangalore Fiat team meet. The place is called Kanva reservoir which is @ 60 kms from Bangalore. Its ideal to reach the place early in the morning to enjoy cool weather. After sun starts beating down, it gets really hot.

Awesome pics buddy, and nice place for the meet as well.

Thanks Vivek
