One more pic of the Caddy !
got this pic from a friend. he said he got it from orkut.

@fx45 - I think it was RHD ( from whatever I could see ), and also as it is MH 02 reg.

Edit : It is indeed RHD - you can see the driver's hand on the steering wheel if you look closely.
Another question : Are these readily available in RHD from the company or need to be converted like all the Hummers ??

@manish : You in the Pune thread as well, time to shoot ourselves. Please keep all your pics in a safe place. Who knows someday you might get a call for a job from the DRI.

The CTS looks gorgeous. I saw a Metallic Blue (I guess) M5 today. Sweet thing she is. Also saw the car below being hauled on the expressway. I am not much of a vintage person so will let you fine gentleman decide on which car it actually is.

Hkanitkar they have been available in RHD for some years now from the factory. UK/Japan/HK/Singepore/Australia being major markets since the past 5 years from what I recall

so yes they are factory orignals unlike the Europeans the wiper blades have been swithed to suite the RHD set up as well. cheers

That car looks likes a 1948-49 Buick Eight Roadmaster. At the time Buicks Flagship Model. Did'nt think there were too many of them around. I guess Karl or someone could shed more light on its history.

I've attached a foto of a car in America.

It is indeed a Buick Roadmaster. A discussion on the subject can be found here.

This particular car made an appearance on Sunday at the VCCCI event at the Trident.

Last night I spotted a spanking new M3 convertible with hardtop fitted, 786 regd. Looked positively evil!

You worried if maybe they sent your car to Pune instead ?

10 days to go! You must be excited, I'm too, I hope you remember why? I await the steering in my mail soon

YES! I was there as well. One big shot had a private party so all the Range Rovers, Bentleys and stuff was there not to forget the sweet sweet Mucrielago LP640. Ecks you're one lucky guy man I hope you realize what you have is what little kids (and some bigger kids) have dreams of.
