Thanks for the info buddy. I thought, as i have seen PM's 7 in Delhi(the bangle one) and it was a 760, or so was it badged. Also read in some article that he is among world leaders who use 760's. Hence, thought this one also will be same.

HECK!!!
We are the only city to have a ferrari taxi
You sound thoroughly misguided brother, to begin with. We dont have a Ferrari 550 taxi, the car was just imported under EPCG scheme by a Home appliance/Hotel giant from Bengaluru. It was registered as a cab to skip the heavy taxes. But, later the car was got in custody by the customs dept. The owner paid the fine/duties and released the car which is now calmly resting in its bengaluru home.

About Rolls Royce's, None in trivandrum, but afaik 2 are in the state. Both are old models with some well known collectors from Guruvayoor and Ernakulam. But as per infos available, a new Rolls Royce Ghost(code name : RR 4) is about to hit Thrissur soon. Cheers ! Welcome to T-Bhp.

I dont know who you are referring to , but the Ferrari 550 was brought down by RC and he is/was famous for his telecom company.

And the Bentley in Trissur is confirmed to be on the roads by first quarter of 2010.

And spotted (again) the black H3 of which the photos are posted already in this thread.

The M3 must have been sold to B'lore but i think the one Unknownsatan posted was a different one. And incidently, i got a pic of that M3 being delivered to the owner. Notice the rims. The one in Kerala had Graphite finish rims and this one have the 19' Multispoke ones.

Mods - Making back to back posting since no one posted in longtime. Sorry, but I'm really phobic of getting another Infraction.

btw, Hani, What you meant there ? Dont they have Basement Parking Lots in London ?

Are you sure its a Alphard ? It looks like a Grand Hiace to me.

This pic shows the some part of the regn. if you could make out which country it was. He also had a SL and a H2 sometime back.
Dont know how I missed this (Post#2987).I know the family and I know that they can afford a FS in UK, but I doubt that the car in the picture is his.

Because:- The number plates are personalised and I dont think the guy in questions name is TIM for him to buy that plate by paying more than 15000 GBP.

And no , he couldnt have bought the car with that plate , because personalised plates are in the name of the guy who bought the number and can keep it on any car he buys.

Thanks for Welcomin'

Regarding the ferrari ,i knew the background story.my friend(whose as car crazy as me)'s father is the friend of the hotel owner.

But it had yellow taxi plates(u can't argue with that!!!),which is a rare sight,let alone india, in the world itself.yes i heard about the thrissur rolls story.

Is their any A8 regd. in t'puram??.Am not love with that car,but my friend is dying to know(he said he saw one.)
Well pleasure to meet a T BHPian from my home town.

Well can't wait to see it in flesh.my dream car;the one which changed my dreams from a upper middle class one to stratospheric high class ones.

O.T.Heard there are some conditions to follow before buying a rolls(like minimum income or list of former vehicles?)was it in the old dayz or are they still followed.
Correct me if i am ignorant.(Well i do see them in hip hop albums)
drives the nuts out of me.
