just got hold of a chevy belair from pune so really excited about that,
sorry cant post pics cause im on the ship sailing till november.
and i owe u a tour karl , as soon as im back

Your Rolls got hit by a peoples car? How degrading. You should have chosen something higher up the ranks Fortunately without bumpers the car couldnt have caused too much damage to the Rolls.

What have you done with the original wheels? Im short of 2 wheels still, running on borrowed wheels for the moment. And tell me more of this Bel Air from Pune that I seem to have missed! And yes, still waiting for that promised tour.

Silly question. Of course you must.

Well I am not a beetle expert, but check the bonnet of GDL. its quite different from others.

Yup, that car has been modified by Baretto with his trademark signature. Many cars in Goa sport these changes. Suffice to say Im not a fan!
