Cochin goes High-Tech!

Sam Kapasi · 6th June 2007, 22:23

When I told people we were starting a store in Cochin, they looked at me incredulously.
"Cochin has nothing like that, you know" I was told. Why?

Kerala people are educated, well travelled, well employed and love their cars. What other sign are we waiting for?

Pure ecstacy for a car accessory lover. I'll show you the pictures now.

A look around the ground floor

Now the upstairs:

The upstairs is a car accessories and audio place, good by any international standards - this one applies to all of Team-BHP.

There's lots more, as you'll see.

Later in the day, I was joined by a few Members, who took a break from their busy schedules to be there, guys, thanks for coming.

First was Hydrashok, who looked like he was in shock.

All the world is a stage and Hydrashok is completely, The King of Audio.

Later we were joined by Excitable child Nikkibike and our very own resident, Speedzak.

A couple of home theatre demos later, everyone was pleased as a punch. Anytime any of you Cochin boys want to watch a movie in style, drop me an email and I'll arrange your own private theatre.

I hope you like the store, please do post your comments, both ICE and Non ICE guys (since there's eye-candy for others too)

This Sam is slowly moving over to the other side, for all he cribs about engine-vengine types.

That store has more wheels than speakers
