I did see a black Q7 near park circus a few days back. In fact i even saw the BIG blue Cayenne around that area a few months back. Mercs and BMWs are so common these days no one gives a second look!

One of my friends have bought a white X5. Il try to get some pics.

has any one seen it.

shuvd · 20th August 2008, 23:05

Have seen the 6 once, from a great distance. Couldn't catch up. Was in a cab

The 6 series guy comes to Kyd Street (GK Sports wala gully) often in the BMW. Not sure, maybe his office is there or something.

evo · 22nd August 2008, 10:57

The 6 series is owned by a guy who owns a hotel in Kyd street.

There is also a blue 7 series (sorry dont know the model year). Really really well kept, its got the M logo on the plates.

sorry about this late response to this quote above. I think this car belongs to Saurav Ganguly. I once drove side by side with him on Red Road. I mean I was in my Esteem and he was in this car! I believe it's the same car.

did you guys try to do a "my car is slower than yours' test"?

btw, there is a black VW Toureg which remains parked two blocks away from my ghar @ Colonel Biswas road.

Thanks for clarifying what SCM meant. I had no clue and was hesitant to ask !! Anyway, that's

I think I am hopelessly outdated.

By the way, when I saw him in that car on Red Road Sourav was not driving it. The driver was a very unassuming, oldish man, driving very cautiously. What a pity.
I wonder how they negotiate James Long or Behala Bazaar on DH Road with that car. It must be one hell of a sad job to be driving that car through some of the worst traffic in the world.

The blue one was a 750iL 1990, now sold.

evo · 22nd August 2008, 15:50

@anish
sold within cal only? For me, it was one of the most beautiful looking cars that I have ever seen.

Saw a black Audi A4 infront of the Skoda Dealership today. I think the unscrupulous people are angling for an Audi dealership also! Hope they dont succeed!

Nope, the car has gone to Delhi. We sure had some awesome time with that car.
