I think when he said S-class Vs S65 AMG he meant to say that they were discussing about which one of the two Big B owns.
And of course, without a doubt the S65 AMG wins hands down!

The S65 AMG is owned by a famous builder of the country.

I know 5 white Range Rovers owned by a single company all with Mumbai reg. And these cars are in heavy use, they travel around Mumbai a lot, so spotting them isn't an issue. Owner keeps one black and one white at his residence in Malabar Hills.

Yes it was a Birthday gift! And a hell of a good one...Too bad it's not driven that often...Hanmust do you know the owners personally? As if you do, you should know who I am too...

HOWEVER I do remember seeing another white S AMG MH reg, it might have been the 65 or the 63, I saw this at the Taj in Colaba way before the said builder gifted one to his son...

Great choice, I ment the white colour with panoramic roof. He could have choose some other alloys, its not because the one on its not good, but it look very common on CBU model, either S550 or S350 or even in some S320 CDIs. BTW is it S500 or S350, I guess it might be S500.

I've even seen his black S500 with AMG bodykit on my last visit to Mumbai near Fountain & later at Taj Colaba. I've even snapped it, but my N73 was lost on that trip.

Yes i am sure seen both their cars personally. I believe the white S65 with the 1 plate belongs to a builder.

I thought they were Grey ones owned by a company. If your talking of the builders from Malabar hill then its a buckingham blue and the white Vogues. They have two plus a whole lot of other cars includeing the deep blue S63 AMG (gift car), also bearing the number 1 plate. I had mentioned this ealier as well. The white one you saw next to the Taj would be the white S65 Amg also bearing 1 plates. Two seperate builders here.

Oh, I didnt know that we can get the S500 18inchers as an option on an S350 or S320 because I have only seen the 17s on both the S350 and S320.

I am very sure that the Ranges are white and black, all RR sports supercharged. And they have the white S65 AMG [The reg is has a 1 in it, but the car is only 2 months old], the blue S63? Hmm seems like we're both confused between two different builders.

The one I'm talking about is a family friend, and he doesn't have a blue S63.
All I can say is that I drove his S65, and damn it blew my mind! [Much better than the CLS 63 AMG!] And no the one I saw at the Taj didn't have the reg 1, I have the pic somewhere, let me dig it out...

You can get them on the S classes with Panoramic Roof as these are direct imports and not assembled at the pune plant.

Malabar hill Little Gibbs Road builder has The buckingham blue and white Vogue. The buckingham blue (black/blue) looks like black in the night. He has the same dark blue S 63 Amg with the registration 1. My uncle stays in the same building, hence i know all their cars. Another builder i presume from the suburbs has the white S 65 Amg also bearing 1. We both are on the same page but just a little lost .
The company i was talking off also has the RR sport but all Grey not white and i do not know if they are supercharged or not. I see two of them together all the time when i am on my way to work.
The S 65 is way better than the CLS 63 IMO. What i also gather is that there are two white S AMG's in town. I see the S 65 (reg 1) all the time heading to the Taj.

That pic of Hrithik is clicked outside Nanavati Hospital a couple of days back, whilst he was there for an inauguration event. He has also recently ordered a Mustang Shelby, which should be delivered to him by next month.

Cyrus: There is a similiar Merc owned by a builder friend of mine who stays around your area, Matunga. He also has a Cayenne Turbo, VW Beetle, Audi Q7 and BMW 525i.

Speaking about Shelbys, what happened to Saif's Shelby that was up for sale? Has anyone purchased it? If so who?

Ohk Yeah Gibbs road, I know them, but not that well have seen their collection while visiting. They also have a Cayenne stashed somewhere. The one I'm talking about is the other one, who has the S65 AMG ...There's no one other than family who lives in the same building as them...And they are the owners of the Ranges which I mentioned. Their company has 4/5 white and 3 black...They have another black Range sport which is personal.
They are all supercharged. Sad really as the regular Range would've served their purpose better owing to it being larger...
They have so many more noteworthy cars, but I'm sure all those in the know already have and idea about them...

According to Saif's manager who's a friend, it never was up for sale. And he said that with conviction...
