Hello Folks,

Today the Deccan Heritage Automobile Association (DHAA) Republic Day Meet was held at the Lumbini Park, Hyderabad. The weather for perfect. This time there was a huge turn out of two wheelers. No more talking now. Enjoy the pictures starting with cycles, a moped and scooters. More pictures of bikes and cars to follow.

Regards and Keep Revving,

Rahul Waghmare.

Hello Folks,

Here is the third set of pictures taken at the Deccan Heritage Automobile Association (DHAA) Republic Day Meet. These are for all the Motorcycle lovers. Could not take clear shots of the motorcycles as they were parked closer and also due to a lot of crowd around.

Regards and Keep Revving,

Thanks for the pictures Rahul. The two wheeler collection is superb. Nice to see the Austin Champ again

The car of the show is no doubt the Austin 10 which screams "I want to be a Ghost"


Cheers

Hey Rahul,

Awesome pics.! And you've practically covered every vehicle that attended! Makes me wonder if I need to upload mine!

All the more happy to see my Herald 'CAN' captured in it's full grace and finery!

'had actually reached a bit late thanks to a heavy traffic jam that seemed for ages in most parts of Secunderabad (collected my car from my local garage where it was in for some minor work the last 2 days) due to the visit of a Political dignitary for an R-day function at Parade Grounds. I was even told that there were plans to wrap up the show early so was real tensed all the way to the show!

But fortunately(?) turned out I wasnt the only one. We even had the Chief Guest turning up past 1pm, so the show was extended but I was happy to hang around right until the end nevertheless...was tired but still elated!

Best part for CAN is that she happened to have company today- meet Mr. Renolds and his 1965 mk1 Herald (white), whom I had invited for today's show.

Also a tidy car with a couple of original bits missing, which I gave him today. Coincidentally, he too is the 2nd owner of his car, and as in my case, his car too was re-registered in 1990 by the previous owner who had also been in Bangalore for a while before returning to Hyd!

All the merrier that we were joined by another Standard- a very nice Companion. Good to see Standards participating in the local events here! 'hope there more to come in future.

And tbhpian Suren's '57 Fiat (AHO 6050) had turned up but not suren! :( 'turns out he is out of town now.

'nuff said! So here they are, starting with the cars:

Can anyone put a word the the gentleman who owns this Austin 10.

Wonder which Automobile on earth had this HUMONGOUS headlamps...

Indeed! Maybe those lamps were fitted in the days when cattle used to stray onto roads more frequently and needed to be scared off? LOL

It incidentally reminded me of an old song "Jeepers Creepers, where'd you get those peepers (eyes)?"

Artie Shaw - Jeepers Creepers - YouTube

The glasses have "Carl Zeiss" on them. That name actually has something to do with camera lenses if I'm not mistaken?

And about the mascot on the bonnet, well those arent peepers, () but maybe glow at night to give you the creepers nevertheless!





















Continued in next post...

Now the final pics., the bikes and scooters...the Maicoletta appears to be the one that was originally green when it appeared during the last rally. IMHO looked better then.































Not exactly a bike...a BSA paratrooper(?) folding cycle. The stickers are add-ons of course:





This later Allwyn Pushpak was actually not participating but thought to click it nevertheless as it seemed quite a tidy, original scooter!

Interesting...but not classic, not even the RD!

On a lighter note, the kid in the green tee seems to have had a not-too-good experience with the "BMW" kiddie bike!!

One of the reasons why I kept these pictures at the last.

I forgot to view this picture on my camera after clicking it as there were lot of people around the bike. Realized it after coming home! Yes, it looks like a case of wheelie-gone-wrong!!

Why only wheelie? Thats how some of us sometimes would feel even on a NORMAL bike ride going by the condition of our roads!

And I just refreshed my picasa albums in my system and it turns out that I did take far more photos than the ones I'd uploaded!!

But these appeared in my albums only now!

So posting them now...and yes, I'm sure THESE are the final batch of pics. from me!

Lovely pictures, great show. 'CAN' is shining, as expected !!

On a side note - The Citroen 2CV 'Camionette' - incidentally one of my all time favourite classics (hall of fame) appears to be badly done. The bonnet logo is upside down. The grille should've had simple horizontal slats -not too difficult to fabricate when you have such a gem. And how I wish she was given a better, brighter, and more period colour scheme. This car has the potential to pop dozens of eyeballs if done up correctly. Sad, so sad.

CAN is truly shining and looks more classic with the side view mirrors.
