Premier Padmini Fiat


Saw this beauty in Panaji the other day - we had one for 10 years, and then another one for another 7-8, before we finally succumbed to the seduction of a Maruti. Can you believe it, way back in the mid 80s, when I was barely 10, and my sister was maybe 7, my dad packed us into one of these, and along with a driver, we set off on a 15 day road trip from Goa down the West Coast all the way to Kanyakumari - covering Mangalore, Cochin, Manipal, Trivandrum, Ernakulam along the way - and then back through Madurai, Hasan and Bangalore. Amazing trip - I still have some crystal clear memories. How I wish we had video cams and other devices back then...
