its clean alright. but rains they just sprinkle water whenever i clean the car within minutes [frustration]

will change to alloys whenever we switch to newer tyres.

i think the JKtyres are the noisiest of the lot after 100kmph.

so will do switch to yokos along with the alloys .

will remember your suggestion the next time i take photos. [:)]
Great pics and the mhwak looks hot , btw the dent is not that bad ,but I agree it should have never happend specially when it was not a fault from your side.
What mileage are you getting in the city ?

mileage varies for longer travels more of the 4-5th gear majority traffic it varies from 13-14 kmpl.

but in traffic it goes down to 9-10 kmpl.

some bad/sad news.

somebody in the parking lot has brushed my stationary beast (probably a bike whose leg guard has brushed the rear bumper left side) resuting in the colour being chipped off in a line [cry][cry]

i dont have the heart to post the picture.

Sad to hear about incident mate.

Same have happened to me many times in my society as well. These guys on scooter/bike are in so hurry that they don't care about damage made to others. and when asked, they say "thoda color to nikal gaya hia , usme kya ho gaya." (just small part of color have ripped of, so what, why are you making fuss out of nothing.) [anger]

Yup. Since i have not seen it happen it live, i cant complain.
But the bike has left over marks of the white colour. Which will be wiped off when the watchman washes the bike today [frustation]

I was just enjoying the pics of polished hawk, and the update was very bad.
Hope some buffing would cover the marks.
the scratch has exposed the bare metal/plastic of the rear bumper, so paint job will be necessary to cover up the scratch.

dad is now convinced that our car needs some tikka/nazar kavach. all dents/scratches put when car is placed stationary.

also now despite my unwillingness to install the rear and front bull guard, the rear guard now seems logical and will be installed as soon as the scratch is covered.

Damn that's so bad.[anger]
To me it looks like a kid with cycle could have fallen, by looking at the scratch.
its some bike trying to squeeze his bike in a tight spot in stilt parking trying for a shortcut. i am sure it leg guard of the bike is at play here. a cycle could have easily passed through it.

That is surely done by the leg guard. Investigate all the bikes in your society. I am damn sure the leg guard might have little bend on the outer side of it.

More than two bikes have their leg guard bent. I cannot comment on who might have done it. [cry]
While i am gutted and fuming to see this, the devil in me cannot resist but say that you need ACP Pradyuman and Daya from CID to resolve this mystery ( I am sure they will relate this incident to something more mysterious [;)] )

Another CID man??
Until that biker gets a slap from Dhaya, he won't reveal the truth.
