Looking at the Jag,i wonder where is he going to service that?

I dont buy this logic, the problem lies with the people of city itself. Even before big car companies launched their cars here in delhi people were buying these big expensive cars. So the companies recognized the potential of the city anc came up with their sale and service infrastructure.

Ok guys! Confirmed news of a new white Audi R8 in town! Snappers,buckle up!

Holy cow! That is some BIG news. Any idea where it is going to? A friend was telling me about a white two door AUDI, I thought it would be a TT. This is gonna be great. He saw it near Jeevan Deep. Lets hope I get to see it too.

avishar · 28th March 2010, 02:57

Looks like i will not see it near beck bagan - just checked.

If it was spotted near Jeevan Deep - then it might be parked somewhere nearby - perhaps where the Blue Z4 is parked.

The white R8 is DL registered and was spotted in Ballygunge Circular Road yesterday afternoon.

Kolkata gets the first Mercedes GL350 (Dark Grey/Silver) and i spotted it @ Southern Avenue, in front Lake Kali Bari. Didn't snap because of low light and superb mobile camera.

it was Stunning/Luxurious

but nothing close to the MLs (In My Opinion).

Glad that Kolkata is getting high with new imports and exotics off lately.

Dying to see the pics of the R8.

I know where this guy lives. Hopefully will get to see it. Its very close to my place. BTW, his another SUV is a RAV4 and not a LC Prado, IIRC.

Silver Jag spotted again at Alipore RTO by Shuvc. I spotted a silver Jag near May Fair Rd / MHS.

No pics of the white R8?

shamik.bose · 30th March 2010, 16:59

How many Jags are there in the city then? The white one, and the two you've mentioned. Any more? Nice!
BTW: Does shuvc have any pics?

planet_rocker · 30th March 2010, 17:03

A white one - picture posted.
One which i saw near Mayfair Road / MHS & / or, the one spotted by shuvc at Alipore RTO (no pics).

So, it is either 2 or 3 nos.
