Re: Supercars & Imports : Chennai

@nickatnite - That parking slot is a holy place. You can see a Ghost, the Bentley Continental Flying Spur (tasteful choice of color), the Jaguar XJ, the Rolls Royce Phantom, a new generation 5 series, an Audi A4 and the lesser Toyota Altis in turns there

Real looker, this! White suits it. From the looks of it the interiors are black - glad better sense prevailed here, unlike the red interiors the owner has on his Maserati

Thanks for the photos, nick!

Re: Supercars & Imports : Chennai

White does indeed suit some of those big Mercs, BMWs, Audis, etc. They look great, but imagine how much greater they might look in a beautiful metalic or pearl finish. I mean the real metalic finish, the one that sparkles, not what gets passed off as metalic on the cheaper cars here.

The BMW mini was never as great a design as the original. I guess the original was, well, original, and how very different it seemed at the time. And, of course, it's German...

ofcourse i know it's German underneath but atleast the Mini's camouflaged well!. and, nothing to beat the original, i agree. This one below is true Brit and bespoke and absolutely stunning in person.

Obviously I don't know it, and red will not be my choice on the day that I sit down to discuss the specs of my mew supercar with the manufacturer, but if I have to live with red, Maserati red leather would be the best way to do it.

I suppose, red leather was once the classic choice.

Re: Supercars & Imports : Chennai

Had been to the Aston Martin Vanquish / Mini Cooper event today....

Will post the pictures later this evening. Wish Indian manufacturers engineered their exhaust pipes for a tone like the Mini's...

Vanquish visits Chennai

Here are the pictures. I'm sure you all will understand why I didn't take photographs of the Mini brothers or sisters (as some would like it). My son was very upset that I missed them.

Re: Supercars & Imports : Chennai

Beautiful color combination on the bicolore . Much better than his Maserati IMO . Saw it zoom past outside zara's a couple of weeks back , brilliant sound even though it wasn't being caned ! Saw the F10 M5 a few minutes later and it sounded so subdued in comparison !

Re: Supercars & Imports : Chennai

Yes, i spotted it again! This might not be a Supercar , but this one's an Import for sure.
The 2009 American Civic Hybrid. Spotted it for the 3rd time on Nelson Manickam road.
