Bring on the BLING!


An international beauty that has stood the test of time - The Fiat 1100 D, locally called the Premier Padmini was a workhorse of three decades for the closed-doors India.
A car that used to be just as popular as disco dancing and driven by beautiful women and race enthusiasts alike, the Padmini was everywhere - just like golden tightpants, afro hairstyle, and large buckled belts.
What a shame then that our idea of fashion has come to white muslin and button-fly jeans. What a shame that there is no color anymore.
At least I have a car to match my taste of music. I have red seats and a dynamo.
Disco dance, ladies?

to tell you the truth, while u were talking of renovating it with some bling elements, i almost half expected it to be something to the tune of http://dianepernet.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/13/manishs_car.jpeg
