Hey Dippy, very nice coverage, pictures & report. I am sure after reading your report one can get a feel of what was happening there.

Must say that though Mumbai folks are say that it was not upto the mark in some parameters but it is zillion times better than the horrible auto shows that get done in Bangalore.

:uncontrol Couldn't stop laughing. Where is the 4x4 track here? All this can be done in a Nano itself.

What was Mahindra smoking when they put up this 4x4 track :Frustrati

apart from the hill ramp there is nothing great in the 4x4 track..
I guess Mahindra learnt from cyrus's last years antics and instead of having to hang their heads in shame for a stuck scorpio they made a less challenging track

have a look at the pic of last years track.

Great coverage of the event there by Dippy. The JCB Diesel max is really fascinating. But all I want out of this whole collection is the Toy Monster Truck from the Autocar stall. clap:

The Compact Truck Mahindra GIO was also on display. It is too compact a truck I should say. Though it looks like Gio is trying to make its mark. It is small but nonetheless it is a very commercially viable proposition.

A mini show:

New models will wait for the Delhi show - so that's expected.

The Mahindra customizations seem value for money.

Jag beat the Lambo.

Yellow VRS has us drooling.

Well covered by TBHP teams as we see - perfect shots at perfect angles.

Makes some sense for those pitching for a LR vs merc vs BMW etc segment to see all the models and compare at the same site.

Strangley he does not qualify as a member. Remember the rule. Its has to be above 400 horses and should cost Rs 1 crore plus. The car is bought third hand and for less and also it is 380 odd horses :D. I am sure he will wiggle his way in.
:OT, 4th of January is the super car club run in Bombay. Two T-BHPIAN cars will be there.

Wow they even consider whether or not the vehicle is new or second or third hand?!! Must be deep verification process! They why is it that the showcase Z4? They should not even do that.
Hey thanks for the news. So 4th jan it is. Good to know there are two bhpians.

A friend of mine who could not go to the show is really keen on the customised Xylo....Would you by any chance who to contact....

He is in Delhi and spoke to one dealer...who didn't have a clue.

Another pic of the show stopper.
This car really did it for me. It has taken the game to a different level. The comments I heard around the stand made me feel proud to be the Jaguar fan that I am.
