So finally the date arrived! it was a beautiful Friday morning and an auspicious day too. It was akshaya thritya! since the showroom was some 80km from our hometown,we started at around 7:30am. We were 6 members in total , took our accent and i10 . We reached the showroom after breakfast in a hotel at 9:00am. None of the Sales representatives or the managers arrived. One a security guard and cleaners were there. They welcomed us ,asked us to wait in the customer lounge and offered lemon tea . How could I sit and wait! I couldnt control myself!, went out and took my camera from i10. Fixed the nice 18-55mm kit lens! As there was no one to stop me to theur Yard. I jumped into in through the service bay exit! Oh My bad luck! I see a lot of Rapids neatly parked there! Thankgod the spoilers helped me! He was standing quietly next to a Santro. I clicked some pics there. then 2 office guys came there to make him ready for delivery . I asked them to put the car in different positions and clicked a few pics. I also did a silent PDI there. The car was not washed. I rang up to my sales executive and asked him why the car is still not ready for delivery. He apologized and made all arrangements as quick as possible. All ready by 10am. But the guy who went to by garland and lemon didn't turn up. so we decided to take delivery without those as the good time ends by 10:30am. The sales executive Nallathambi, who got really close with our family, handed over the Keys, RTO certificates and insurance papers to my grandpa , then my grandpa handed over those to my dad. we took the car out for a short ride to a temple. After the formal pooja at a Ganapathi temple near by I got the keys! we took the car to a near by location where singam tamil movie was shot, and I clicked a few pics of rapid along side accent. there ends my delivery story!
