Wanted to pass a small information - R8 is going out soon, Red M3 came in - go figure

@ Who Am I? - thanks for the information.

@ Snappers - relocate yourselves with your cameras

@planet_rocker: which R8 is going out? The DL-registered one or the WB reg one? Is the M3 going to the same address?

[planet_rocker]

Huh? i thought there is only one White R8 (DL registered). There was one booked through Mark n Glix (dunno if it is the WB registered - do you have any pictures of the WB registered one?)

[planet_rocker]

Shamik - are you talking about this R8? http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/1984585-post1363.html

if yes, then i am talking about the other one

PS: So a Black R8 (under cover & earlier spotted by Rohin at Audi Kol) and a White R8 nice.

AFAIK this car was never sold.It had just come for the official opening of the showroom.

[shamik.bose]

I had spoken to a guy at the Audi showroom and he'd informed me that they had sold one R8 in Kolkata, a silver one(IIRC). I think there are pictures somewhere. I'm no good at remembering stuff.
EDIT:
@planet_rocker: No, no I wasn't talking about that car. But I'd got the above information on that day itself.

Jaguar XJ in Kankurgachi???? That is just amazing(no offence to rohin. If you know what I mean). But wasnt the previous XJL blue in colour??

AFAIK there is only one and one and one R8--that is the DL registered one.

[shamik.bose]

@Pancham: The XJ spotted earlier was silver only. Probably looked bluish due to color compression. I'd seen it at gariahat. Looked lovely
I do think there's a second one, probably never been spotted. I doubt Audi showroom guys would give me wrong information.

A friend aditya,had spotted an XJ in alipore.He said it was blue in colour.So there might be a second one.Shamik you sure the silver looks like blue also??

Sad to see the R8 go!

@Rohin & others: no wonder a St. James guy spots an Italian bull outside kolkata's "Hot girls" school...... what say guys?

[planet_rocker]

point noted but i find Loreto house better. we are seriosly going OT.

is the r8 moving back to DL? - we will have to wait for the time being.

lets welcome the red M3 on the kolkata streets.

[arpanjha]

wow! that means the R8 is goin out of Lytton? and M3 coming into Lytton? can someone throw some light about the owner?

and about gals of LMG or Loreto, good going, I am actually a bit outdated in terms of this, I passed out of school in '02

anyways LMG or any gate, keep up the good work of spotting exotics in the city of "bhodroloks"

you got the first part right and that answers your second part. lets not name the owner on the forum.

Can't say that this is the city of "bhodroloks" (gentlemen), but we have people like Rohin, Pancham and SBose to keep us happy with pictures of exotics, supercars and imports.

IMO LH is better,LMG has more attitude than looks.

Got this pics from kolkata car fanatics,a group on facebook
Black Jag XF.WB 06F reg.

I really don't understand why people opt for that leaping cat on the bonnet. IMHO, it spoils the look of an otherwise splendid looking car. Is that at the Taj?
