Reclaiming our lives...

"No other man-made device since the shields and lances of the ancient knights fulfills a man's ego like an automobile." - Sir William (LATER LORD) ROOTES (1894-1964), British automobile manufacturer



The bigger the beast ( read - the number of horses it can pull ), the bigger the EGO I guess. We ( me and my better half ) would only stare in wonder after we brought home the 'beast'. Stately and regal in its looks, it appears lethargic when its standing. It can be very deceptive - as once you roar it into life, you can well just go ahead and reclaim your life !!

Well, I am talking about the new Safari VTT 2.2 that was launched few weeks back. We were almost ready to buy a Scorpio, when TATA decided to add the twist in the tale. One look and a test drive later we were hooked. After reading convincing road tests on the new beast, there was no looking back. Soon we were proud owners of a Cycus grey, Safari VTT 2.2 LX.



We did some serious off-roading this week ( details in the next post ) and we were more than convinced of the fact that we had taken the right decision. We have added some small knick-knacks to the LX - a reverse camera and sensors, keyless entry, etc. Up on the cards is a good music system to match the prowess of the beast !

I would like to end with some acknowledgements - team-bhp folks, bm-log - all the reviews and the queries were very helpful pre and post buy.
