I also saw a Blue sportscar (read coupe) @ Pattom, TVM. It was far away from me so I couldn't identify the model. From what I saw, it had a rear spoiler and it was TN regd.

The black particle is the dust of brake pad wearing on hard brakings, that show that they not only went long, but also had some real hard brakings may be due to high speed.

Yup, Exactly. And his S is the first of W221 in trivandrum. Sports same signature number as the jeweller who have the white carrera.

I saw the S approximately 2 months ago when it ferried Asin to inaugrate his new showroom and few days post that too in nights(This particular S is mostly nocturnal, as its owner prefers the TLCP in rush hours). Don't know very recent status.

Thanks for the info on 7.

OT- Hanmust.com, great job !! You deserve a pat on the shoulder for sheer quality and detail. And the best part, the site does'nt even remotely gives a sense of your Merc affair

they don't use the S much,its always kept fully covered in their garage

We share same DNG(Deoxyribo Neuclic Gasoline, a petroldheads DNA)

.
So, has the Beetle of your friend hit calicut ? Cant wait for the review !

A fellow Bhpians uncles 7er. Spotted when i was exiting 'Mascot'. I Apologize for pathetic pic quality as my phone has drowned and went for a replacement !

artofzen · 21st January 2010, 19:08

Isnt that the 7 belonging to Hospital group from Calicut/Tirur?. I guess several TVM-Bhpians got a ripping ride in this particular car.

DNG-thats a good one!

You were very accurate, the first new Beetle reached Caliucut y'day. It'snow on display at VW-calicut showroom. As mentioned earlier its booked by our very close family friend. Infact uncle first choosed red colour, then he changed his mind for yellow both of his sons pressured, but due to heavy demand for the bug all over the country they had very limited oppertunity for colour choice. So the first car came is this green, since he was the first booking at the showroom they wished him to buy it hence he went & checked the car & since he liked the colour he decided to go for it. He is waiting for insuarance & other formalities, may be he'll take the car tommorrow or so! But his elder son & my close buddy Humayon is out of station he may wait for him to reach back, but Humayon told not to wait for him.

Anyway a detailed review could be expected soon.

More over there is one more new 730Ld in Calicut, unfortunetly that too is a white one!

. It's bought by the owners of the S-class which covered almost 1 lakh km. They took the S to Rajastan were they have a construction site. They have also bought a new TLC.

Yes, it belongs to Tirur and is the first 7 to be sold by BMW Kochi. The tvm-bhpians got rides because, as i said it belongs to a bhpians uncle.

Whoa ! Even i did'nt know i would be so 'Spot On'. But what let me down is the color. If it the Light Greenmettalic one as the one in GVR. I saw it and hated the color. Red or Yellow would have been fine.

I think majority of Beemers in KL are Alpine White. Can't complain, the beemers are real lookers in that color and highlights every curve and detail. But in tvm, things are quite different. other than the Builders 7 and few 3's, majority of beemers are Monaco Blue
