Finally Reined the 'SNOW LEOPARD', My LineaTjet Plus.

Beautiful picture ! Is Jammu-Srinagar road is open for cars? I feel like taking my RED straight out from my parking lot now itself and drive to the valley. That mesmerizing it is.

 

Yes, it was partially opened today for one way traffic from Srinagar to Jammu today.
You can not enter Gulmarg from Tangmarg without using snow-chains, it is mandatory.

 

I hope you guys enjoy this video..... way from Gulmarg to Tangmarg Kashmir as on 5th Feb 2017.

Hats off to your passion Sir, You are maintaining two such legends which people dont even dare to own in cities where FIAT has its showrooms and service centers.

I really hope and wish, FIAT officials see this passion and provide you some sort of support!

 

Today, took my "SnowLeopard" for a brief spin around the Dal Lake....

 

Dear Friends,
I kept this thread alive throughout my experience with LineaT-jet+, aka "SnowLeopard" and all of you enjoyed my posts, especially the photographs taken in Kashmir environs which suit the T-jet very well. This car has taken me to most of the base stations like Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg and much more. But, now I feel like going an EXTRA-MILE after these hill stations. It is possible only with 4x4 vehicle. And I am choosing pre-owned Ford Endeavour 4x4 AT 3.00 L from Delhi and making survey since last two weeks. I did get some good ones, and one among those is :

Endeavour 2011 Model, 4x4 AT, 35,8OO kms on ODO reading, single owner, OLXed by the dealer, quoting 9.0 Lac.

Dear friends, kindly suggest and guide me in this regard. Is this car worth the money quoted by the dealer. Shall I go for this ?
I'm sorry for posting here some concern other than our lovely FIAT story.
For your information, I will be keeping my T-jet with me for ever.

@speedJet , please comment.
Othet TFIians from Delhi can help.

Best wishes and regards.

Hi @S A SHAH sir,
If I may suggest you something. If possible please avoid this endeavour. BTW, did you notice that the car side ORVMs are missing. It's priced a bit on the higher side. For this vintage of cars that too in Delhi and with NGT coming, you should not pay more that 7-8.5lacs or a 20-30k here and there. If I may suggest you a Mitsubishi Pajero or a Outlander. This cars are available for 6-8 lacs for 2009-2012 vintage in Delhi. I have personally experienced this car and they are a lot better than the Endy. Plus the longer wheelbase which isn't good if u want to use it as a 4x4 and lower and even lower second and third row seats are something which are hindrances to this otherwise excellent machine. BTW, what is your budget, depending on that I can suggest you some good cars.

Thanks,
Varun

 

@csr1969 , the ORVMs have been stolen in this car shown,as told by the dealer,I called him yesterday.My requirement is 7seater 4x4. Thanks.

 

Dear Friends,
I've almost finalizes the deal of buying a pre-owned Endeavour which is from Srinagar Registration area and singly owned since Jun 2011.
It is in good condition and maintained well by an Endy-Enthusiast.
The pics will follow along with my "beloved" T-jet.
Moderators, please delete my previous posts that show the black-Endeavour above. Sorry for inconvenience.
Best wishes,
S A SHAH

 

Dear FRIENDS, TFIians,
I made the final deal for acquiring Ford Endeavour and the beauty-with-brawn was delivered my campus today.
Now, it is looking good to see my "SnowLeopard" is meeting "PolarBear".

S A SHAH
