Nikhilesh Roy's Baleno servicing 2024-01-09
Fondly remembering an evening well spent with avid Indian Roadie Sandip Hunday at the food street opposite Acropolis Mall, off. Rashbehari Avenue Connector, Kasba, Kolkata on 2024-01-09 (note the date 😊).
Lots of subjects (not necessarily limited to road travel and automobiles only) were discussed. Learned a lot from this young brother whom I have known for well over 50 years since our days in St Patrick's HS School, Asansol.
Don't miss the chaos of battery operated three wheelers, popularly known as Toto in WB. Operating Totos is one of the most flourishing businesses in WB, starved of industries and the reigning chaos is massively supported by the state 'gorment' 😰!
Looking forward to another meeting soon.

My VW Vento 1.6 TDI was fully serviced on 2024-04-22 at the Indian Roadie Preferred Workshop in Kolkata.
The engine oil and filters were also changed. Mobil 1 5W-40 fully synthetic engine oil is available in 3.5 ltr and 1 ltr sealed containers. The sump capacity of my Vento is 4.3 ltrs. Unfortunately, 1 ltr containers of Mobil 1 5W-40 were out of stock. I had to remain happy with 3.5 ltrs only.
Due to unforeseen circumstances (not related to the vehicle), the car had barely clocked kms in the past 5 1/2 months. Now that Durga Puja is round the corner, my preferred workshop sourced a 1 ltr container of Mobil 1 for me.
I visited the workshop on 2024-10-01 evening, bought the oil and poured it in the car a little before midnight on the same day.
Needless to mention, I am feeling relieved now.
