#Audi Parts In India

[itsblasttothepast]

Checo's time at mclaren was similar to what's happening now, no?

No, not really, for starters, the circumstances were wildy different:

When Checo was in McLaren:

He was a rookie, barely out the nest from Sauber, being teammates with the nicest guy ever (Kamui, how I miss you).

His new teammate was already a world champion (Jenson Button, 2009), and he was clearly the inexperienced for the press.

He was substituting Lewis Hamilton, another already world champion, and fan favorite. Most of the hate Checo received back then was because Hamilton moved on to Mercedes.

McLaren was in the middle of restructuring his cars, and the team was kind of a mess back then. The phrase 'that's why we hired him' was heard so many times in so many interviews...

Finally, Checo never felt part of the team entirely and they fired him like nothing. Checo's dad said that it was the ultimate betrayal for Checo, since he gave everything to be in McLaren and now he was without a seat.

And yes, he was quite hated in his time in McLaren, but mostly because Lewis left and Jenson kept complaining about Checo's driving style. Something that's the same though, when everything went wrong, everyone blamed Checo (still happening with RBR).

However, with RBR (Red Bull Racing), things were like this:

He was more experienced and had more knowledge of developing the cars, Force India and Racing Point always tried to adjust the car to Checo's needs.

Checo was part of one of Horner's teams back in GP2, so Horner knew him and followed his career in F1 (Horner's words).

RBR had problems mantaining a second driver, since the team focused on Max.

Nobody in RBR wanted Checo, except for Horner. They wanted someone from their academy, so Horner had to twist everyone's arm so they could at least consider Checo. This shows that the team didn't exactly received him with open arms.

He knew his job: Secure Max's first championship. That was the goal, he had to be the second driver that helped Max achieve the glory. One time when they interviewed Checo, they asked him about blocking Lewis and Checo said that he knew Lewis would understand because he was doing it for HIS team. He already felt part of the family, even when most didn't want him there.

He was (is) older than Max, more relaxed and also, can take the heat and pressure.

What's the difference? Yes, he was hated in McLaren, but in RBR he's the focus, even more than Max. Almost every news, rumour, post... it's about Checo, or something someone said about him. And the focus is 80% negativity because RBR is a mess team. Always followed by drama.

Oh, and a big, BIG difference, in McLaren, Checo was single and had no kids. In RBR he's married with children, and people has no boundaries by messing with them; imagine being Checo's wife and reading that the press say your husband has 'drug money' or 'mafia money' or other many racists comments.

So no, it's not the same, the hate he gets now is awfully worse. And people don't seem to understand WHY is wrong acting this way.

I still have hope for Checo moving to another team, I know he wants to retire in RBR, but if he goes to Audi (with NICOOOO), or even if I'm right and Otmar brings another team, I think the press will finally let him go and let him race in peace (one can only dream).

Chapter 31 - Sweet Harmony

Emily's POV: We raced home, her in the Audi, me hot on her trail in my own car.  I hated to separate, but I understood the necessity of having both cars at home.  I had started to lead the way home, but Indi lagged behind me, uncomfortable driving so fast.  My hands tightened and wound around the wheel, desperate to be home and have her back in my arms.  "Come on, Indi," I whispered to myself, willing her to drive faster.  Hadn't I waited long enough for her to be back home?

When we finally arrived home, I smiled at her pulling her new car into her spot of the garage.  I parked as quickly as possible, flying around the back of my car to pull her door open for her.  I kissed her deeply, pulling her bag from her hand.  "Welcome home," I whispered against her lips.

She smiled up at me, cupping my cheek.  "I'm sorry I left in the first place."  Her words sobered me, and she could see my eyes tighten at the memory of her fleeing.  "Should we talk about this more?"

"I think that's a good idea."  I placed a quick kiss to her forehead and then picked up her bag to carry it inside for her.  I grabbed her hand, "Come on you."

"Should we make cocoa?" she asked softly.

"It's August…"

She shrank, shoulders hunching slightly, eyes reticent.  Softly, "My mom always made cocoa for big talks."

I warmed at the thought of her sharing a family tradition with me; Indi was always so tentative sharing things about her family.  "Of course we can, sweetheart."

Silently, we made cocoa together, unsure what to say.  I didn't know if we could start talking about what happened before the cocoa was done.  Previously, our silences had never been awkward – time with Indi was always peaceful.  But now, with this big thing looming over our heads, I wasn't sure where we stood.  I had been certain that her kissing me and telling me she loved me back had meant that she was sorry for running again, but the air around us was tense.  Never before had I felt so uneasy in her presence.  I felt us approaching a precipice, but what came next, I wasn't sure.

We moved into the living room, settling into opposite ends of the couch.

"I'm sorry," she started. 

I promised myself I wasn't going to brush off how her leaving affected me.  I fought back the urge to sweep it under the rug and bottle up my feelings.  Our future was too important to me to hide how this impacted me.  I tried to quiet the part of me screaming to throw walls back up and shut her out.  I swallowed the knee-jerk response it's okay.  Because it wasn't. India's go-to was to just run when things got tough.  "Why'd you run?" 

She cringed slightly, and took a sip of her cocoa as she thought about her response.  "I don't know," she said softly.  "I'm struggling to believe I'm worth this."  I opened my mouth to tell her she was worth everything in the universe, but she interrupted me.  "And don't say it's just money."

"It is though, Indi.  Let me just put this in perspective for you.  What you give me, I can't buy.  You are priceless, India Mae.  Money means nothing to me because I'll always be financially secure.  I have a multi-million dollar trust fund, millions in liquid assets, and an additional few million in stocks and real estate."  Her eyes widened impossibly large. 

Before she had time to respond, I continued.  "Money can't buy what I want, Indi.  I thought I could try when Rossi signed me up for SugarBook, but you are priceless to me, baby."  I swallowed thickly, again fighting the urge to board up my windows and shut down.  My heart beat wildly in my chest at the vulnerability I was about to show.  Near whispering I said, "Money doesn't mean anything when all you want is love.  And you love me so wholly." 

I grabbed her mug, setting it on the coffee table.  Taking her hands in mine, I blinked tears back, embarrassed at how quickly our conversation turned.  "No one has ever accepted me just as I am.  Growing up, I never felt like I was enough for my family.  I never was anywhere long enough to make a meaningful connection.  And as I got older, I stopped trying to make friends.  Because it hurt so bad to pick up and move again and never see them again.

"And then when I was in the CIA, I wasn't allowed to be me.  And now," I swallowed again, trying to compose myself.  "You love me, Indi.  I never hid who I was with you.  And you won't ever know how valuable that is to me."

Her thumb softly wiped at my tears, endless tenderness and sympathy in her eyes.  And finally, understanding.  "Money doesn't mean anything to me, not when I have the most precious thing I could ask for," I said, squeezing her hand.  "But baby you deserve anything your heart desires.  It's nothing for me to buy you what you deserve.  I have the means to buy you whatever you want."

"I love you so much."  My heart swelled again at her admission.  I wasn't sure the excitement of her saying it would ever lessen.  "I just couldn't fathom why you love me," she admitted.  "I thought I had nothing to give you."  I shook my head, but let her continue.  "I'm not worldly like you.  I'm not educated like you.  I come from nothing.  But to hear you say that you love me because I'm enough?  I'm just-"  She shook her head in disbelief.  "Well, I just don't know what to say.  It sounds too good to be true."

She took a steadying breath and looked me deep in the eyes.  Unwaveringly, she said, "And to know that all you want is that love and support?  Well it's all I want too.  You, as you are, are it for me, Em.  I never thought I could love someone so much."

"What was it that pushed you over?  I thought we had worked this out.  When we were in Florida?  Or even way back in March or April.  Remember?  We were out to lunch at that cafe you love?  I told you how much you deserve to be spoiled and you seemed to accept it then.  What happened?"

"I don't know, Emily," she said resigned.  "Wait!" she interrupted her own train of thought.  "I remember that day in the cafe.  Why do you?"

I paused, unsure if I should share how deeply I loved her from the start.  "That's when I knew you were it for me.  That's when I knew I wouldn't want anyone else."

A slow smile spread over her face.  "I remember it for the same reason, babe."

My heart warmed that she had known so early, as well.  "I thought we settled it then: you deserve to be spoiled.  I just want you to have everything you want." 

"All I want is you," she admitted softly.

"Then stop running from this, from us," I begged.  "You break my heart every time you leave," I confessed. 

Guilt flashed in her eyes.  "Yesterday, I thought if I were the one to leave, it would be easier."  I knew that feeling well.  Every time I had broken things off with a girlfriend, I had thought similarly.  Before Indi, I had never struggled to move on.  Before yesterday, the thought of moving on had never been unbearable.  "I thought if I were the one to leave, it would hurt less than when you finally realized you can do better than me."

"I've been there, Indi.  You don't fake a relationship with an arms dealer without gaining a few scars.  But you have to trust me, baby.  I love you."  I grabbed her face, brushing her wispy hairs back.  "There is no one better than you.  Please trust me.  Trust us."

"I've learned my lesson, Em.  When I was lying all alone in my bed, wishing I was in your arms."  Her brows creased at the memory.  "It hurt just as bad to be the one leaving, because it didn't matter that I left.  All that mattered was that I wasn't with you."

My heart swelled, because, miraculously, she really did feel the same way.  All this time I thought I needed to buy her time to get her to stay.  Starting this relationship as a financial obligation hadn't helped my thinking that she was only here for what I could give her materially.  But hearing her say that all she wanted was my love, me, had me reeling.  All these months I wondered in the back of my mind what I could offer her besides money, and I always came up short.  But to hear that we were enough as we were brought tears to my eyes.

"I guess I couldn't help but feel the same as you did."  I heard her gasp softly in shock.  "What could a young woman who has everything ahead of her want with me?  I mean" - I pulled my hands back to pick at my nails - "I'm a workaholic in a job that poses great risk.  I'm old, parts of me sag more than they used to, I'm graying, I-"

"Stop," she commanded.  "You're gorgeous," she whispered reverently.  She pulled my hands apart, soothing the sting from where I had picked at my cuticle.  "I've never been attracted to anyone the way I am you.  Please do not speak about yourself as if you aren't worthy of my love just because you're older than me."

And that's when it clicked.  What this all boiled down to was that neither of us felt we deserved the other's love.  That's what had to change here.

"It's hard for me to believe you could want me like that."

She smirked.  "Don't I make how much I want you abundantly clear?" 

I chuckled, always in awe of her libido.  "Yes, I guess we're not lacking in that department, are we?"

"I'd say not," she agreed.  "Though, I would be happy to show you how much I want you more frequently."  She pushed me back against the couch, pretending like she was about to pounce.  Instead she kissed me chastely and pushed my arm out, making room for herself in the crook of my arm.  I scooted down the couch and pulled her into my side, settling her head on my chest.  I kissed her forehead, grateful for her to be back here.  "Just moving forward, we need to believe in each other."

"I will.  I do," she amended, squeezing my hip.

I let her words linger around us, finally feeling at peace again.  "Me too."  I ran my fingers over her shoulder soothing myself at the repetitive movement.  "Where do you see us in a year?" I mused.

"Exactly as we are.  Exactly like this," she responded, twining her legs with mine.  "Are we okay, then?" she asked timidly.  "Do you see me in your future?"

"Angel, you are my future. I love you."  I tipped her head up and kissed her softly, the angle slightly awkward.

"I love you too," she whispered, settling back into my arms.

"And where do you see yourself in a year?  What do you want to do after graduation?"

"I don't know."  She sighed as I started trailing my fingers down her back.  "I've never had the luxury of being able to plan ahead.  Maybe I'll try to find a teaching position…"

"I asked what do you want to do?" 

She hummed, lost in thought.  "I don't know…with you now, there are so many more options."  She paused and then said, "Er, I'm not trying to take advantage of you.  I just mean because of you, I've been able to save a lot more than I thought possible, and I feel like I don't have to take any teaching job that comes my way."

I chuckled softly.  Maybe we had made some progress today, but my Indi would still be hesitant about money.  "Dream world – you can do anything.  Every job is open to you.  What do you want to do?"

Without hesitation, she said, "I want to play for the DC symphony."  I smiled, wheels already turning about who to contact to get her an audition.

"I think that's a perfect job for you."

"I think so, too," she said, a smile in her voice.

"Speaking of jobs," I said through a yawn, "Penelope starts her first day as the BAU's technical analyst at the end of this case." 

"She got it?!" she asked excitedly.

"Mmhm," I hummed.

She exclaimed, "That bitch!  She didn't tell me!"

"That she may be off the hook for.  I'm not sure she knows yet; I think Hotch is going to tell her when they get back from this case."

This time it was her turn to yawn.  "Okaaaaay," she sighed.  Her yawn was contagious, and my eyes watered from my second yawn – my sleepless night catching up with me. 

"I didn't sleep much last night," she admitted softly.  "Can we just rest this evening?"

I kissed her on the forehead.  Nothing sounded better.  "Of course, angel.  We can do whatever you'd like."

Indi snuggled deeper into my arms, her eyes drifting closed.  "I love you," she murmured, and I drifted off with a soft smile and full heart.

Title: A Comprehensive Guide to Hiring a Car in Delhi: Exploring the Capital with Convenience

Delhi, the bustling capital of India, is a city that beautifully blends the old and the new. From its historic landmarks like the Red Fort and Qutub Minar to the vibrant markets and modern shopping malls, there is so much to explore. But, as with any large metropolis, navigating through the streets of Delhi can be quite overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors or those unfamiliar with the city's traffic conditions. Renting a car can be one of the most convenient and comfortable ways to get around Delhi, allowing you to enjoy the sights without the hassle of public transport or the stress of hailing taxis. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore everything you need to know about hire a car in Delhi.

Why Hire a Car in Delhi?

When it comes to traveling in Delhi, renting a car is often the best option, especially if you want to explore the city at your own pace. The city is large, with a population of over 20 million people, which can make moving around on public transport challenging during peak hours. The metro is a convenient option for long-distance travel, but it does not cover every corner of the city. Buses and auto-rickshaws are other modes of transport, but they can be uncomfortable and difficult to navigate for tourists.

By hire a car in Delhi, you gain the freedom to travel wherever you want without worrying about waiting for public transport or dealing with the city's notorious traffic. Plus, if you're planning to visit multiple attractions across Delhi, a rented car can save you time and energy by offering a direct, efficient route. Furthermore, hire a car can be an ideal choice if you're traveling in a group or with family, as it provides ample space and a comfortable environment.

What to Consider When Hire a Car in Delhi

Hire a car in Delhi comes with its own set of considerations. Before booking your rental, it’s important to keep a few factors in mind to ensure that you get the best deal and experience possible. Here are some key things to consider:

1. Type of Car You Need

Delhi offers a variety of rental car options, ranging from economy cars to luxury vehicles. The type of car you choose will depend on your specific needs and preferences. If you're traveling solo or as a couple, a small sedan or hatchback might be ideal. However, if you're traveling with family or a group of friends, you might want to opt for a larger vehicle such as an SUV or a minivan. For those looking for a touch of luxury, several car rental services in Delhi offer high-end vehicles like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz.

3. Insurance Coverage

When hire a car in Delhi, it's important to ask about the insurance coverage provided. Most rental services will offer basic insurance as part of the rental price, but it may not always cover all eventualities. It's advisable to clarify what is included and whether additional coverage is available. This is particularly important when driving in Delhi, as traffic can be chaotic, and accidents, though rare, can occur. Having sufficient insurance coverage can provide you with peace of mind.

4. Rental Terms and Conditions

Before confirming your booking, it's crucial to review the rental company's terms and conditions. Pay attention to the policies regarding fuel, mileage limits, cancellation, and late fees. Some car rental companies may have a limit on the number of kilometers you can drive each day, and if you exceed that limit, additional charges may apply. Make sure you fully understand these terms to avoid unexpected charges at the end of your rental period.

5. Driver Availability

If you're not comfortable driving in Delhi or prefer to avoid the stress of navigating through the city, many car rental services offer the option of hiring a professional driver along with the car. This is an excellent option, as drivers in Delhi are familiar with the city's roads, traffic patterns, and local routes. Having a local driver can make your experience much more enjoyable, as they can also act as a guide and offer valuable insights about the city's attractions.

6. Fuel Policy

Car rental companies in Delhi typically follow either a full-to-full or a full-to-empty fuel policy. Under the full-to-full policy, you are expected to return the car with a full tank of fuel. If you return the car with less fuel, you may be charged for refueling. Under the full-to-empty policy, the rental company provides the car with a full tank, and you are charged for the fuel used. Make sure to confirm the fuel policy in advance to avoid any surprises.

Where to Hire a Car in Delhi

There are numerous car rental agencies in Delhi that cater to both locals and tourists. Many of these companies have physical offices at key locations such as airports, railway stations, and popular tourist spots, making it easy for travelers to pick up their rental cars. However, for added convenience, most car rental agencies also offer online booking, allowing you to book a car from the comfort of your home or hotel.

The Indira Gandhi International Airport is one of the main hubs for car rental services, where you can easily find rental desks from major car hire agencies. If you're arriving in Delhi by train, many car rental companies also have offices at New Delhi Railway Station and Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station. Alternatively, there are several local car hire services that cater specifically to tourists, offering a range of vehicles from budget to premium options.

Tips for Driving in Delhi

Traffic: Delhi’s traffic can be chaotic, especially during rush hours. Be prepared for long delays and traffic jams. Plan your trips accordingly to avoid the busiest times of the day.

Parking: Finding parking in some areas of Delhi, particularly near markets or popular attractions, can be a challenge. Be sure to check for designated parking spaces and avoid parking in restricted areas to prevent fines.

Road Etiquette: Indian roads, particularly in Delhi, can be unpredictable. Be cautious of pedestrians, cyclists, and rickshaws, who may not always follow traffic rules. Always keep a safe distance from other vehicles and be vigilant.

Navigation: While most roads in Delhi are well-signposted, it's still advisable to use a GPS navigation system or a smartphone app like Google Maps to help you find your way around the city.

Exploring the Market for Used Luxury Cars in Delhi: What You Need to Know

Delhi, the vibrant capital city of India, is renowned for its diverse landscape, rich culture, and bustling lifestyle. Among its many facets, the luxury car market stands out, not just for its opulence but for the burgeoning interest in pre-owned luxury vehicles. If you’re considering purchasing a used luxury car in Delhi, you’re stepping into a world where sophistication meets affordability, and where every vehicle has a story to tell.

Why Opt for Used Luxury Cars?

1. Cost Efficiency: One of the primary advantages of buying a used luxury car is the significant cost savings. Luxury cars depreciate quickly, and this rapid depreciation means that you can acquire a high-end vehicle at a fraction of the original price. For instance, a pre-owned BMW or Audi often costs considerably less than a brand-new model, while still offering the same level of comfort, performance, and prestige.

2. Premium Features at a Lower Price: Luxury cars come with top-notch features, from advanced technology and high-quality materials to superior craftsmanship. When buying used, you get access to these premium features at a much more affordable price compared to purchasing new. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the high-end amenities of a luxury car without breaking the bank.

3. Lower Insurance Costs: Insurance premiums for used cars are typically lower than for new ones. Since the value of a used luxury car is less, the cost to insure it is also reduced. This can be an additional saving on top of the purchase price.

Where to Find Used Luxury Cars in Delhi

Delhi offers a wide array of options for purchasing used luxury cars. Whether you prefer online marketplaces or traditional dealerships, there’s something for every buyer:

1. Online Marketplaces: Websites like CarWale, OLX, and Cars24 have extensive listings of used luxury cars in Delhi. These platforms provide detailed information, including vehicle history, owner details, and pricing. Online shopping allows you to compare different models and prices conveniently from your home.

2. Authorized Dealerships: Many luxury car brands have their own certified pre-owned programs. Dealerships like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi offer certified pre-owned vehicles that have undergone rigorous inspections and come with extended warranties. This option provides peace of mind, as the cars are typically in excellent condition and come with added benefits.

3. Independent Dealers: There are numerous independent dealerships in Delhi specializing in used luxury cars. These dealers often have a diverse inventory and can offer personalized assistance. It’s essential to choose a reputable dealer and verify the vehicle’s condition through a comprehensive inspection.

What to Consider When Buying a Used Luxury Car

1. Vehicle History Report: Always request a detailed vehicle history report. This report provides crucial information about the car’s past, including any accidents, service records, and previous ownership. A clean history is vital to ensuring you’re buying a reliable vehicle.

2. Inspection and Test Drive: Never skip a thorough inspection and test drive. Even if the car looks pristine, it’s essential to assess its mechanical condition and performance. Pay attention to how the car drives, listen for any unusual noises, and check all features and systems.

3. Ownership Costs: Owning a luxury car involves more than just the purchase price. Consider the cost of maintenance, repairs, and spare parts. Luxury vehicles often require specialized service, which can be more expensive than regular cars. Ensure you’re prepared for these ongoing costs.

4. Warranty and After-Sales Service: Check if there’s any remaining manufacturer warranty or if the dealership offers an extended warranty. Good after-sales service can make a significant difference in your ownership experience, providing added security and support.

The Final Word

Buying a used luxury car in Delhi can be a rewarding experience if approached with careful consideration and research. With the right knowledge and resources, you can enjoy the prestige and performance of a high-end vehicle without the steep price tag of a new model. Whether you’re drawn to the sleek design of a Mercedes-Benz, the dynamic performance of an Audi, or the timeless elegance of a BMW, the used luxury car market in Delhi offers a plethora of options to suit your desires and budget.

So, take your time, do your homework, and get ready to experience the thrill of driving a luxury car that perfectly fits your lifestyle and preferences. Happy car hunting!
