Unknownsatan · 7th January 2010, 23:58

Well Lambo wins by a slight margin

Brilliant "race" pictures!

Once again I lost money: I put mine on the auto!

Afterthought: Now I know where I went wrong... I forgot to calculate with the weight of that woman passenger!

Ah Thad! I've lost my money too! After all, that's a Bajaj Autorickshaw Superleggera with a lighter canvas-fabric top and titanium lug nuts (3 of them as opposed to the Gallardo's 5!) Who wouldn't place their money on that?!

i have seen that one before but didnt realize it was the v10!!

P.S: is that the only diesel v10 around?? have any other manufacturers used this set up??

Karthik-zza · 8th January 2010, 19:15

I can only think of the Audi diesel v12.

OT: I saw my first Nano today. It was bright yellow with a TN 22 redg. I saw it near the beach.

Ohh!! please don't discuss about Nano in this exotics thread.

Karthik-zza · 8th January 2010, 19:45

Yes, but it was my first sighting of one and I din't know where to post it. My apologies.

I didn't have the benefit of that technical information. Now that I do, I can only think the driver must have been bribed to loose the race. We've been scammed!

My first Nano sighting yesterday: looked rather smart in a silver-grey. If that ridiculously overpriced Fiat "lifestyle" thing merits "exotic", the Nano certainly does too

Anand123 · 9th January 2010, 01:03

I wonder why is the NANO so late to land in Chennai. Nobody interested in buying a cheap car!! Here in Kerala, the first Nano was delivered on 31 JULY 2009 and since then I've been seeing lot of them on our roads.

Karthik-zza · 9th January 2010, 07:24

I had not been to Chennai in a while. Hence the first sighting. I'm guessing other BHP-ians have seen it around before.

Sivasankar · 9th January 2010, 07:25

STOP PRESS!!!

Members, please welcome Chennai's first Audi R8 !

Many congratulations to the owner!

Sighted the white car tearing up the Marina Kamaraj Salai tarmac exactly 30 minutes back... drove back to the parking and had a good look at it... has quite a growl...

couldn't get pictures though... if someone knows the owner, please ask him to bring it again to the Marina Gandhi beach tomorrow.
