@hani : Is this by any chance the owner of Motor Image ?
I too know him pretty well. If it is him then you have missed out to mention the green defender (recovery vehicle) that he has.This must be the 2nd v10TDI in chennai after the blue one.

yesterday spotted a black hummer with Mahrashtra Reg. Plates, an hour before the start of the Super kings Vs Mumbai match near MAC stadium.

Was it Harbhajan's? Did anybody else who went for the match see it?

Hey guys!! spotted some really nice cars in the past 2 weeks.

1: RR Ghost, the black one, in mogappair, near the DAV School.
2: MB E class Coupe in white, possibly Chennais first if not indias, spotted at the Transcar service centre near Ambattur Estate.
3: BMW Z4, near the airport.
4: FL Audi Q7 PY reg: it was a dark colour (dark brown i think), and had some sweet looking wheels.. saw it near Tirumangalam signal.
5: FL MB S 500: again at the Transcar.

besides this, a friend of mine told e he saw 2 RR PHANTOMS at the Ayyapan temple being blessed. One was white and the other was black. not sure how true this is, but he has promised me a picture so will post as i get them.

as of now, i only have pics of the z4, that too of not exceptional quality.. sorry guys, will try to better next time..

Lovely car indeed, love that shade of blue, and body coloured bumpers as well WOOWW...you should have cropped the image to remove that big green thing to the left of the Wagon R

Jokes apart, which car is it to the left, is it a Jaguar?

bivin · 7th April 2010, 20:16

the one next to the WagonR is a Bentley Flying Spur..

Ya, exactly the same person. I've not missed it, I've already posted it very early. He is one of my best family friend as well as he is like an elder brother to me. I know him for very long time and he always inform when ever he buy or sell a car. Even my 1968 Mercedes 220D was bought by him & I sold only because he'll restore it much better than me!

Large Volvo SUV in Adyar this afternoon: XC90, if my dyslexic excuse for a memory serves me right!

Spotted a beige Bentley Continental GT near Gopalapuram last Sunday. It was nighttime and driving in the opposite direction so couldn't take a pic. I hope someone spots it soon!.Looked beautiful. First time i came close to the GTO a few days back and i must say i'm mighty impressed with the condition of this vehicle.
