Our 1st Road Trip Started in 2008 December. We did 3334 KMs in 15 Days in our FIAT Palio 1.6 GTX Silver Below.
This 1st Road Trip was called "A FIAT LOVE STORY"
We traveled from Coimbatore city in South India Tamil Nadu State and drove around many places in Kerala, Karnataka & Maharashtra. It was an awesome experience as a family to enjoy our vacation. Both the kids were so cute and so small and it was real fun.
Our 2nd Road Trip Started in 2009 December. We did 6800 KMs in 18 Days in our FIAT Palio 1.6 GTX Silver.
This 2nd Road Trip was called "A MISSION IMPOSSIBLE". We were supposed to do Coimbatore to NEPAL.
But we finally changed the destination to Rajasthan in December 2009 due to Political unrest in Nepal. We promised we will do Nepal and finally we in fact did Nepal in December 2012 our 4th Road Trip.
We traveled from Coimbatore South India Tamil Nadu State all the way to SAM Village Camel Safari Camp in Rajasthan which is almost Indo-PAK Border. It was a great experience.
Our 3rd Road Trip Started in 2010 December.
This was HATRICK, 3 Trips Back-to-Back 2008, 2009 & 2010.
We did 7300 KMs in 17 Days in our Brand New FIAT Linea 1.3 MJD Bosa Nova White.
This 3rd Road Trip was called "LIFE MEIN LINEA" (meaning LINEA in my Life)
We traveled from Coimbatore South India Tamil Nadu State all the way to a neighboring SAARC Country BHUTAN which is called the Land of Thunder Dragon. We never believed we could do such a long trip and that too so far away.
This trip was made possible all because of the support & great help by my very good friend & our family friend & Maha Guru H.V.Kumar Sir who is called the Walking Talking GPS and is the undisputed Highway King HVK having traveled the length, width & breadth of entire India so many times on road in his SUV. HVK Sir has an awesome fan following in his Facebook.
He helps in making dreams come true.
He helps & supports so many people like me who seek his help.
HVK Sir prepared a trip schedule for me & I just followed it and successfully completed it.
We had the previlage of the visit by HVK Sir to our home at Coimbatore after our successful 3rd Trip and you can see below my 2 kids with HVK Sir.
Image going on a trip in your vehicle, you have no idea which place you will reach at what time, so booking a place to stay is also not done. What if you had someone who would guide you fully, virtually be with you through your entire trip, and gives you the route map and also book the hotels for you?.
Well, it’s hard to believe that such a facility is provided. It is done by “HyVayKing”.
HV Kumar started this, he is known as an avid traveler and has an awesome nickname “The Human GPS”.
Our 4th Road Trip Started in 2012 December.
We did 9300 KMs in 17 Days in our FIAT Linea 1.3 MJD Bosa Nova White.
This 4rd Road Trip was called "HIGHYWAY 2 HIMALAYAS".
We traveled from Chennai South India Tamil Nadu State all the way first to the Tip of India i.e Kanyakumari and drove all the way to Indo-PAK Border at Punjab and then all the way to Bardia National Park, Kathmandu and then to Pokhara NEPAL another neighboring Himalayan SAARC Country.
All our 4 Road Trips are made into DVD Movies which contain all the photographs & videos shot during the trip and made into awesome Movie which many have watched & enjoyed. These DVDs are available on HVK Store.

Photos below taken in front of my home in December 2015 when the flooding happened. Luckily we were in first floor and we got saved but I could not save my poor FIATs. The 2nd photo below shows the water level.

Last Year in December 2015 my 2 FIATs along with many other Cars were completely drowned and water went over & above the roof where they were parked. The flooding happened in the early morning hours when it was dark.
Many of the car owners later on scrapped their Cars. I did not as you can see how special these FIATs are for me. They have given me world of friends and ever lasting memories in the 4 road trips.
From 2013 December we did not do any road trip.
We had a death of a very loved one within our family in November 2013.
We also skipped in December 2014 as it was 1st Anniversary.
So we did not take any holidays / vacation as a mark of respect to the departed family member due to the untimely demise in 2013 & 2014.
Well in December 2015 both my FIATs drowned in Chennai Floods. So that is now 3 Years in a row no HOLIDAYS / Vacation.
3 Years NO ROAD TRIP. Now by this December 2016 it is almost 4 Years.
I picked up a 3rd FIAT Palio 1.6 GTX Petrol last year which was about to be scrapped and I rescued it.
I was yet to restore it and finally I decided this is the perfect moment to get it restored and made ready for this 5th Road Trip.
I just restored this Car which wasn't affected by the Floods as it was parked away in a very safer place where water level did not rise above.
However this car wasn't used for over 3 years and it had to be restored completely to make it road worthy and this entire process of restoration was started at WORLD OF SERVICE - MULTI BRAND CAR CARE CENTER Located at Kolapakkam near Manapakkam, Porur and almost near to Omega & PSBB Millenium School at Gerugambakkam.
This entire restoration & refurbishment was done from 15th December 2016 (Thursday) and was completed on 20th December 2016 in just 5 days.
I am starting next Page No.2.
This page is entirely for FIAT Lovers and Car & SUV Lovers about what Car, Drive & ownership Passion and is all about and how WORLD OF SERVICE - Multi Brand Car Care Service has just Stripped the entire car and restored and serviced & repaired the Car in under 5 days from 16th to 20th Dec.
Hope you enjoyed so far on the preview and the background.
