In stock form the front does not resemble, fix a DUB grill and then it resemble a Bentley.There are many examples here even with the changed monogram.

No idea about the pricing of the RX-8 but the 300C was quoted a price of 60 Lakhs.

4 days in Cochin and I saw no Audi's or BMW's. Only the hummer pick up

Saw a nice w129 glass topped SL being driven through Mettur. Might be landing in Cochin. Had a MH reg

Two of the three S-classes bought by the same Group. The black is for the son & white for the dad. The son is one of my best friends, this snap clicked just after we had a drive in his S320 CDI. In total there is six Merc in his house. A 1967 200D, `96 E220, `98 E250D, `03 E220 CDI.

He has also bought a black Montero, but the car was not at his house when I visited, anyway will post the pictures of it soon.

Ofcourse RR is no execption from the regular service, i.e., in each 10,000km. But most owners visit sevice center before that because of the poor quality fuel, etc.

I personally know the chief driver of Lulu. They used to take their 7 & 5 to B'lore Navnit for service.

Foby, I think he knows most of the exotics in Kerala and who owns them.

@Hanmust- What about the white X5 ?. And try to get us the garage pix of Cayenne+Beemers

And regarding the price of 300C , It seems alright since Merc E class also costs almost that much.ie, If you do not consider the brand recall.

Nash, the X5 is at another house. The carneal red S accompany the X5 there along with a S320 (W220) & a Honda Accord. I don't go there much, but once I went I have snapped it & posted it earlier in this thread.

The Caynne & 530d picture will post soon. I thought of posting S, Cayenne & 530d together. But when ever I went there one of them was missing, hence didn't snap. A 325d may also add on to his garage soon.

What kind of diesel engine does it have? Who is the manufacturer of the engine?

It should be 3.0 L V6 and it is by Mercedes.

Sreesanth owns a Honda Civic.
