Unlikely Automobiles at Unlikely Places

anjan_c2007 · 7th February 2009, 21:11

The milieu in which most automobiles are spotted are familiar. there are a few exceptions to the rule like spotting a Premier Padmini taxi in Kolkata, an Ambassador or Santro taxi in Mumbai and so on. Here are a few pictures of such unlikely cars and two wheelers in unlikely places, to start with.
The one below is a Suzuki showroom.Adjacent to it, there is a Honda showroom. Both are reputed companies making two wheelers in India.The owners of these showrooms are brothers.Ironically, the front parking area of the Suzuki showroom is filled in by swarms of Activas, Dios, Unicorns, Shines and Aviators, that have been just serviced. The Suzuki showroom has very few two wheelers parked in this space.

I saw a Shelbey Mustang GT500 in the middle of nowhere in Rajasthan on way to a Jain tirth (Ranakpur). Infact, there were 3 Mustangs from that era but I'm sure of only 1 being a Shelbey.

Thats why the men have positioned themselves in such a way that the body sag is hidden from our view.

A bit of deviation-here's a herd of stray buffaloes moving on a Pune road clicked by me recently. This should indeed be "Unlikely Animals in Unlikely Places". But Indian roads and cattle: how are they unlikely when they are a part of each other?

These are parked below the SantaCruz flyover in Mumbai en route to the domestic airport from Bandra- dont know whether these are rotting? They are too young to rot! And these are caged. Sorry for the picture quality as my car was moving fast.
