Audi A6 spotted at Thrissur by a young friend Abhay!

Y'day night I saw 750Li from Natika. I saw it at my neighbour's house were his daughter is married to, since its inside couldn't take the snap. Also spotted the white Fiat 500 while i was clinic, hence couldnt cnap. So sorry!

@hani- Is it the Maserati guys A6 ?

@foby- thanks for unintentionally reminding me of my spottings today.

So there it goes :

- Audi A8, Silver, Banker/Hoteliers one,nr. Napier Museum
- Nissan Teana, Silver, Taxi regn., spotted at Taj
- BMW X3, Monaco Blue, belongs to the boxster guy
- BMW 320d x 2, Black(for regn.), Platinum Bronze(love the color), Both are facelifted ones.

And the best part, not even a single pic. Oops ! Sorry guys !

An Audi A4(Pic took long time back) and Fiat 500 found in calicut.
Hats of to the courage shown by the Fiat 500 owner on spending 15 lacs for a hatch back.

in my opinion the owner bought it not because he wanted a hatchback, but he wanted something exclusive to add to his Stable. So for him 15 lacs for exclusivity wont be that big an amount.

And its diesel and hence gives a decent mileage

I have seen a deep dark blue one (KL04 registered) a couple of times. Very impressive.

But suprisingly, from the information of an accessory guy who fitted the number plate for him told me that he don't use any other exclusive or expensive cars. Infact he is an old doctor & till day he used normal cars.

@hani - Maybe the doc must have been obstructed by the size of luxo mobiles and pounced once he found a City-Friendly Luxo car !

Old Doctor. Right .. now i know why he preferred a FIAT

(Premier padmini to FIAT 500 i think)

carheadbanger · 19th January 2010, 00:34

One interesting fact about the Fiat 500 is that the owner managed to get 500 as the number for his car.

Someday i will get KL- 07/KL-07 for my Q7(

Dreaming!!!!)(Off Topic)

arjunrudra · 19th January 2010, 07:10

The Fiat 500 looks fabulous . Anyways just a doubt which occurred to me. Is there any way to find out whether a given car is a 2.0 diesel or a 3 ltr diesel from the front with respect to the Audi A4 ?

shamik.bose · 19th January 2010, 08:33

Yes. The 3.0 Tdi has a Quattro badge.

Lol,

Couple of recent spotting, ML320 CDI at Rajasree Calicut, previously owned by Kelco, not the car is at Perintalmanna.

Facelifted Q7 which is visiting car from Tirur! Normally almost all the day the car will be in Calicut!

Scorcher · 19th January 2010, 08:49

@hani- Can you update me with the current status of Kelco garage ? A while ago it had a W220 S, X5(sold to Mr.BMW's relative), this ML, H3, New Gen TLC and Audi Q7(just heard about Q7 but never saw).
