I've been driving my TN registered Ikon around for close to 2 years now. I've been stopped but only for the sun film. Vehicle registration issue never came up. I don't believe cops care too much about "bahar ka gaddi" because they make no money out of it in any case. Plus there's just too many out-of-state vehicles in Mumbai for them to go around stopping everyone. Worst case you can do the "I only speak tamil" trick and hope and pray that the maamu isn't from good ol' TN.
If you haven't picked a place to stay yet then why not somewhere more "peaceful" where parking may not be such a big issue? I think bigger complexes like Lodha, Hiranandani etc. have better parking. Also I prefer the Eastern suburbs to western suburbs. Hiranandani Estate on Ghodbunder road has PLENTY of space inside the complex and it is easier to get to the OTR venues from the Eastern side.
I cannot stand the Western "Suxpress" Highway! |
gsferrari,
Yeah i don't plan to change my registration, be it my car or jeep. When i flew to Mumbai i did my bit asking Taxi walas if they have seen Police stopping other state vehicles. Even he said " there are simply too many out of state vehicles to stop and check. They generally stop MUV's carrying people and leave you if all the papers are intact!" Wagon R is one of those family cars which are not stopped and checked unlike Indica's which have dubious distinction of owners running it for commercial use with white board.
Honestly i am not looking at staying in really upscale societies like Hiranandani. They are bloody expensive!! I wouldn't mind paying a fraction of that additional cost to a kind enough guy who would lend me a sheltered parking around Kandiveli (E).
I plan to look for a house in Thakur Complex. Any ides about parking issue in that complex?
I have no idea about Mumbai. But i need to stay near Kandiveli as my work place is near there. BTW how near is Eastern express highway from Kandiveli? Quote:

I stay at goregaon and there is enough space in my society to park a jeep, i can anytime state that its my second vehicle and request for an extra parking. Only the additional parking charges would need to be paid. So as a stop gap arrangement, you can do that. |
How far is Goregaon from Kandiveli (E)? I plan to reside some where near for now as my work place is close by. If Goregaon is near then i will definitely take your help. Parking charges is not an issue! Will the parking be open or sheltered?
Thanks for the great help! Quote:

Yes Josh guy,
I would need help from you Jeeper's to occasionally start my jeep and take it for a spin while i am away. That will keep my Jeep in good health Thank you guys for your outstanding support!! I honestly thought every one would say sell your jeep, but its the other way round! Helping nature is the true Jeeper's spirit, I am proud I am a part of you all!!
