The Rapide and the V8 Vantage look stunning. Did you manage to get hold of a few interior pics as well? Would love to see how the Rapide's and the V8's cockpits and speedos look like.

My pleasure! Glad you liked the pics.

Unfortunately no interior or any other pics. of the cars you mention, sorry! With due respect to them, you're talking to a vintage/classic car nut here I'm afraid!

Well, if it alleviates your pain of being away from the action, I have uploaded more pics., albeit in the Vintage/Classic section! which you can feel free to check out!

Oh, and dont wait for my internet connection to be sorted out- aint gonna happen for quite some time from now (maybe you'll have moved back to India by then! )

Well said. The 2011 Hyderabad auto show was a complete disappointment. The entry fees were a rip-off on Sunday. Participation was worse than last year. A few automakers seem to have dropped out - Mercedes, Maruti etc. Surprising since it was crushingly busy with people jostling to see and photograph the few good cars. You can see better cars parked in front of "Beyond Coffee" in Jubilee Hills (and perhaps even touch them, without Bahubalis pushing you away)

Maruti was definitely there and no need to search for them either, they had a huge stall. Mercedes could not make it as they had an internal training programme for all departments going on. (No, I am not connected in any way with the organisers of the show, am just sharing what I learnt when I asked).

I wonder if you ask permission before you touch someone else's car. I do not own an expensive or exotic car but, I still hate people touching my cars.

If you put your car in an auto show, you would understand why the stall owners pay good money to those "Bahubalis" to keep the crowds away from the cars. The cars are always very much open on Friday, a few of the expensive cars get locked up on Saturday. By lunch-time on Sunday even the most tolerant and accommodating stalls adopt a "see only - do not touch" policy as the rush is too much and the vehicles on display get prone to damage. If every visitor showed more respect for others property the exhibitors would be more inviting. Right now, the visitors jump barricades, ignore "Do not touch" boards and are all over the exhibits ignoring the fact that they are dealing with delicate and often expensive machinery.
