No everything in Chennai. But used to bring when he come for vacation & all.

hanmust · 11th June 2008, 09:37

We went for a good drive in the morning. I took my camera so that I can share more pictures of the Cayenne. But in between he got a call & due to some urgent job he had to go to office, hence after taking more snaps may be at eveing or by tommorrow I'll post it.

This shot took after I got at my flat.

Nice work hanmust.Dont know how far this is true but a close friend of mine who was on a trip to ernakulam said he saw a gallardo in one of the second hand car showrooms.Quite possible has many rich people.

Tuner · 11th June 2008, 13:04

hehe..the dude seems to have done some off roading.Or maybe the result of the recent rain.Being him i guess he'd already have put the car through its max.

alF · 11th June 2008, 19:09

the guy who has done this is under payroll of an industrialist. so dont think can get the service.

alF · 12th June 2008, 11:11

Gosh.. you could have kept the emblem of the s class in the right position and took the photo...its so frustrating to see these kind of things on such exotic cars.. i hope you would have corrected it after taking the picture..

Sorry I couldn't do it, I was on my bike & was busy too. And I saw it only after downloaing the photo.

** My friend from told me that he saw a white H2 (Dubai plate & also doubt its LHD) along with a blue 5-seris at Trivandrum Club. BHPians at TVM be alert.

I spotted this white S320 CDI when I went to put new tyres for my Palio. When I talked to its driver he told that it has covered 20,000+km in very few months. They are putting a new set of tyres even before the present set is wiered out. He told that they are going some long trip so they changed it. As they are mainly in to industrial construction, most of their sites are out of Kerala & they have even took their car till the Pak-border in Rajastan where they have an contract near by. You'll only see in Kerala such cars covering so much kms.

A new 320d touched the city 3-4 days back.

By brother Sagar spotted this 525d from the car parking of Focus mall at noon. It belongs to Kajah Group, it could be identified from their logo on front left side of the hood and their regn. no.8.

Tuner · 13th June 2008, 02:00

I'm not surprised with how much that S 320 has covered.I remember his old E, w210 had covered more than 1lakh in 10 months.And then he dint take it out for several months as he had some back problem.He used to take it to his worksite in rajasthan back then, which he stopped after his back problem and started taking flights.He particularly puts tint on all his mercs as he travels such long distances.

ajmat · 13th June 2008, 09:00

Thats the way to use those Mercs. Good for him. I hope he was not putting JK's on the S class
