| ![]() I just wished we behaved ourselves more when see these cars and not act as if its the last chance to get to see them. It was a horrible feeling looking at people barging on to the stage from all four sides and the Glass was shattering from all four ends. It disrupted the experience not just for the participant but for the next set of enthusiasts as well as they barricaded the display even farther. Irony is I did experience an event at the US Consulate in Mumbai where 2 Lamborghini cars were on display. Just when the cars entered the place, a dozen Americans were out to see the cars as there werent any barricades by then. Each one of them admired the car for a while, clicked pictures and left, not even one finger print on the car and all maintained a minimum of 1feet distance. |

![]() When the Aventodor was revved around 12noon, the lady on the PA system did mention that people should not lean against the glass-railing. The security people were trying their best. I stayed away from all the "revving" sessions as the crowd used to get mad when the sessions were announced and run to the spot. A few more undisciplined folks and we could have had our very own stampede. Sad state of affairs. PS: It was funny when the y2k's turbine was supposed to be fired up and the lady on PA system kept on mentioning "we need to form a 100 meter circle". Most cryptic instruction. When nobody moved an inch after repeated announcements, she changed the announcement to "Everybody needs to move 10 steps back". ![]() Last edited by SDP : 5th February 2013 at 17:31. | |

The remaining share of exotics are mostly four doors. And there is no club afaik in Hyderabad to organize a meet for these two doored supercars - not that we had many in the first place. I'm not sure if parading range rovers and flying spurs would be any good ![]() | |

At first, I thought I was lucky to have got a front seat, but then, the push from the people made it difficult for me to even stand my ground. Finally, when GS announced that they would not be able to revv it up if we didn't move back, is when all moved a couple of steps behind. When the Y2k was on its full swing, the smoke from the exhaust and the heat made it difficult for me to stand there, then too, people wouldn't move back. ![]() One a lighter note, when an announcement was made of revving up a car, all the public would move to that point and I would get a good view of all the other cars. ![]() The only revving sessions I could attend were that of the Y2k and the roadster. That too, i couldn't see the car, but the music was worth the trouble. | |

This seemed to be the only way I could shoot a car without any people "hangin' around" in the frame. | |

| ![]() Some more pictures from the event. Much better organized venue than the previous years. Only problem at the venue was that once the cars returned to the race course after the drive, the security was finding it increasingly difficult to keep the enthusiasts away from the cars as they were all parked in the middle of the ground this time around. Wish Mumbai got the BIC, but Delhi sure does something for the country that Mumbai doesn't. |

![]() Quite a few supercars had some sort of cameras mounted. By any chance, do you have footage from the parade shot from inside the Lambo? | |
