On 31st Mar, my drive to sullia was progressing as usual. Suddenly my wife tells me to take a look at the speedometer and the speedo is showing 140 KMPH. RPM is 3000+ . But car was stable and did not realize that we were cruising at 140.
FE from that trip (90% A/C) was 18.9 KMPL. In the previous trip, my nephew and niece wanted to play in the river at Sullia and i was ferrying them to the river. I drove over a sand dune and lo, the car scraped the ground right at the center, but luckily on the frame where the jack is normally placed. Thanked stars for that.
Hmm, Now to the "niggling" issue: Yesterday I observed that the dashboard plastic (black color) has come off from the dashboard. I realised that the black plastic feel of the dashboard was achieved by gluing the black textured plastic material and was not part of the mould itself. Will have to fix this in the next service (5000 KMs). Car has already clocked 3300 KMs in one month.
So far so good, nothing major to worry about..
