YSR upgraded to the N420 from the AW 650i right? He has a thing or two for gorgeous GTs

Absolutely.
Probably why they deliver the best music in the country.

On a humourous note, Yuvan probably watched Mr. Wilbur's review before deciding on the Aston.

@all: got this news from a friend, but not sure how far it is true..
apparently there is (or is going to be) a total of no less than 6 AUDI R8s in Chennai!! can anyone confirm this??
my friend had given his Q7 for service, when the manager told him of this..

I am not sure on 6 R8, however first R8 was delivered to Rathna Stores owner's son. He was the first one to get delivery in the new Audi showroom.

That was the first V10 R8. V8's are already in town!

There are 5 R8's in town out of which only ONE is a V10. The rest 4 are V8's.
1.White R8 V8 with carbon side blade (Rathna store owner's son)
2.Silver R8 V8 owned by a popular actor.
3.Gray R8 V8 in the showroom.
4.White R8 V8 posted by manish is the first r8 to be delivered in Chennai.

I saw this person and his Jeep turning into Wipro at Sholinganallur today. What a coincidence that I stumbled on the video of the same person & jeep today! I am 100% sure it is the same person and the same Jeep.

Isn't the Rathna Stores owner's son's car a V10 as shown in this thread ?. Or does he also own a V8 ?.

A well known actor had posed recently with a metallic brown R8 in the new showroom recently but had apparently come to order a spyder version. I don't know whether the actor in question is the same you refer to.

No Rathna stores owner's son has bought a V8, and the pic of the V10 posted earlier is owned by someone else.

Nope, he got just the V10. See - The Hindu : FEATURES / METRO PLUS : Up close with Audi

hirevbg · 15th February 2011, 19:05

@scorcher I have pics of the car and him together. I know the difference between a V8 and the V10. Why don't you try asking any supercar owner in Chennai about the same.

Some beautiful pictures of the bull

Scorcher · 18th February 2011, 22:37

Awesome snaps Manish, contrary to your normal 360 degree cover, why was the Gallardo shot only from the right quarter? Or have you just started with it?

Isn't that a XFR behind the G?

I dont think these are taken by him. If you see it, its just "T Bhp" watermarking. So i am guessing.
