hummer pick up spotted near kaloor stadium....

it was black in color,illuminated like a tourist bus,having international number plates, the only thing which i under stood from observing number plates is that it was written "G" in the left upper most corner.

i was not able to identify who was driving it or it was a LHD OR RHD, i think possibily its a RHD, because the driver was conttrolling such a massive stuff so easily.

also spotted 3 race cars of red rooster racings drifting through the city.

The Hummer is only made in LHD and not RHD from the company. the RHD hummers that you see are After market conversions done on them.

Since the car sports foriegn plates this one has to be a LHD and on Carnet. See the first picture closely through the glare of the tail lights you shall see the right seat empty. See the third picture you see the person on the Left side. so it looks to be a LHD. Controling a LHD big car is not difficult at all, its easy once you have a hang of it.

I can confirm that. No conversions. It is an LHD.

And it is definitely a crowd puller. People recognize it immediately and swarm around it to take photos and admire it (myself included).

Generally the extension is not given. what people do is export the car out of the Country say to Dubai (Free Port) and re import the car. you get 6 months more with it then. this is done with 3 cars i know off.

Foby, the white smart is owned by Alukkas, I guess its John, so he might be in Thrissur. But it was brought on CARNET, so no chance for KL-regn. I think its on UK plate.

One more addition to Calicut's list, a new white 530d. With this new 530d, one of my best friend expanded his garage along with S320 CDI, Cayenne & 523i. I saw it y'day night & couldn't snap it as my E61i has no flash.

This Q7 is owned by Thrissur based Jose Alukkas Group. I spotted it a week back when I went to attend a friend's marriage. My friend is their manager at their showroom, hence the owners are here. Their white Prado too were there for the occassion, but when I came out of the Church the Prado was left.

This L-pack LandCruiser is brought by my friend who was on his way to B'lore. Snapped it when I went to meet him.
