My best drive

As I am in testing group of new models we are the first people to check the vehicles ( I think at first stage they make the clay models and then the real cars). This happened to me when I was in training. I was with my trainer and analysing the new model for its suspension, ride and comfort. It is a new sedan and rear hood were loaded with about 100 Kgs of weights. The first day we drove and one person found that the sway of vehicle is high and alerted everyone to check safely. My boss drove the vehicle and he found it acceptable. And in next round he made more severe turns to check the sway. And now the climax, he said, “this is the worst that car can handle” and within seconds the vehicle parked into the bush. I was sitting in the co driver seat. The vehicle went completely out of control, the swaying was too much that the wheels got locked (may be due to full braking without ABS) and steering is not possible when front wheels are locked. (It was like experiencing a real movie). I felt like as if I was in some theme park and enjoying the drive. It was not a major accident but our faces turned red after it. Till date it is my best experience in car. Hope I have better adventures in test track because I am double insured.

Ritz - Rocks

Maruti's Swift twin, RITZ rocks in volume sales. It clocked more than 8500 units for the month of June 09. It was about 400 units more than SWIFT. We were actually prepared for a drop in sales of Swift and Wagon R, but fortunately our stock of these cars were also empty. To boost our SWIFT sales we have launched its sports edition and for Wagon R we have introduced Mr Wiser as a sales model. I think in future to the effect of RITZ will not be in any of our cars in the segment.

I learnt driving in this car. I clocked a maximum speed of 140 Km/h speed. This car is really a good car, built in quality is very good.

No Orkutting

Orkut is a real networking site. I really had fun in it. But after a year into my professional world I found it as waste of time. I log in at least once a day and it consumes too much of my time.

Now I have deleted my account in Orkut and I am going to invest the time in blogging which I love better than Orkutting.

Good Bye Orkut.
