I think the point V12 was making is that the Jag crest is all the XJS came with, and adding a leaping cat to the bonnet was a cheap add-on. I agree 100% with that sentiment!

But then, our friend in the Amby knew that too, didn't he? I can think of one chap who didn't - the fellow in the 360.

At the end of the day, I think we will all agree that this event is not a SERIOUS thing (although I am sure lots of guys took it very seriously, seeing the lengths they went to, to lighten their cars and mod them) but instead is a great opportunity to take your car out and legally thrash it, while getting to see lots of other great cars at the same time. So I guess irrespective of who went faster than who, it's nice to have all sorts of cars being run!

Hi guys,

My first Post here

Was searching on the net for info on the Mumbai leg of the Speed Run when i ran into this forum and now m glad i did spend time on tat search. Didnt wanna go to see the Drag this year cuz frnakly speaking last years event was literally a drag

(apart frm the supra, the evo n the guest appearance made by a Skyline R32). Read the review for teh race on saturday at night n got pretty pumped up n decided to head to Reclamation on sunday then....tot ill meet some members frm here as well but....i never registered then to drop a line to the gang.

Got there at 1100 just to end up being held on the way to the spectators enclosure. Well after a few phone calls ended up in the vip enclosure but just passing the parking area i was not tooo interested in the race then.....most of the fun was over by then actually. So went click happy wid my cam and clicked a few snaps. Posting a few of the better 1s here. I know its kinda late but more pics of these machines wont hurt

Cheers!!!

->P
