|  Petrolheads in Mumbai are sooooooooo lucky, for a clutch of exotics cruising on the streets must have been quite a sight. I really, really wish this kind of stuff also happens in Chennai. |

Yeah man , glad you said it. I guess everybody here forgot how important a murci LP is in such an event. The LP would have been one of the fastest cars, if not THE fastest. May be next time around I can make it , with the LP equipped with ear bleeding Hamann exhausts/sport cats and a tuned ECU. EDIT - The Atom does not count as a car.  . If it does , get me one too , or better still , a caterham!Last edited by ecksreturns : 5th April 2009 at 20:33. | |

| What a wonderful way for a car lover to spend a Sunday morning and afternoon. It was the biggest turn out of Sports and Supercars in Mumbai till date. From the Italian beauties to the German giants, they were all there basking in the sun. The morning began with Arpandiv picking me up from my place at 8.30 pm. We proceeded to Bandra where we were joined by dhirajs and flyingspur. Reached Worli and hooking up with was michaelschume. We stopped over at Essar House since dhirajs wanted to pick up the Mobile Store RR Phantom. I tagged along with Dhiraj in the Phantom followed by Arpans Alto and Varun's awesome looking Palio GTX with Schumacher written all over it. Here are couple of pictures on the way to the venue: The F430 caught on camera from the Phantom  The F430 again with Varuns Palio following it in the background  F430 again  We reached the venue where there was total chaos. There was an insane crowd and getting the cars into the paddock was quite a task. All the cars finally made inside after which there was a briefing for the participants of the drive which flagged off at 11 AM from Kalaghoda to Prabhadevi and back. I went shotgun with a friend in his Porsche Boxter S. Some pictures taken during the drive from inside the Porsche: GSs Orange Gallardo at Breach Candy  The Yellow Gallardo Spider which was being ripped by two beautiful young ladies at every given chance  After the start of the Rally . Seen are 2 911s and the new 7 Series  Returned to Kalaghoda an hour later. Some random shots from the paddock: The most beautiful car at the show the Ferrari 348 TS. What a stunner   The lineup of cars  The great sounding Gallardo Spider    A beautiful Porsche 993 911. One of my favourites  The F430 again  One of the two Audi R8s at the show  Post the show a few of us watched the Malaysian GP at the Brew Bar which ended pretty early due to the rain at Sepang. On the way back we checked out... The Nano. I loved it.  Thats all from my side. More and better pictures to come from my brother's camera which he should post soon. |

| What a way to start a week. All I can say is why did'nt something like this happen before and now I can't wait for it to happen again. The meet after the event was fun, the race was a big question mark as we all decided to make a move after it was Red Flagged which apparently turned out to be the right decision, and the Nano experience was good fun [those of you who were there know why  ]And Akshay the picture you took through the rear windshield turned out to be way way better than what I was expecting with Arpan's car trailing the F430 if only the the logo was inverted ha. p.s. hey guess we all forgot about the BMW M2.5  Last edited by michael schume : 5th April 2009 at 21:55. |

| This had to be the best Auto event ever...missed it. So many supercars at one place and that too in Mumbai. Great! I think some cars were missing. Ferrari 599,Mustang,Aston Martin to name a few. By the way which car sounded the best? |

| Distinguished - BHPian   | Some pics from my side. Didnt have a pass so managed a few pics from outside : The Audi R8  A Team-BHPians well maintained 911  The best sounding 430 at the event. Had a good spoiler too (which didnt suit it).  I'm not sure what was wrong with this 430 but it wasnt sounding like a Ferrari. The guy had his guards travelling in his RR Phantom.   The 2 Maserati Quattroportes. I guess the white one belonged to Ajay Devgan.   Line-up of cars.  Bentley Continental GT  I'll have a BMW sandwich with stuffed 911's.  Gallardo Spyder and 430 Coupe  Porsche 911 targa4  Nissan GTR  BMW M5  Undoubtedly the most beautiful Ferrari at the show.  The Ariel Atom.  Porsche 911 Targa 4S  Nissan GTR  Maserati Quattroporte  Bentley Continental Flying Spur  Subaru Impreza WRX STi  The Gallardo which stopped for us on Marine Drive.   Rolls Royce Phantom  The 430 again.  |
