correct me if i am wrong Autobhan has a one Gallardo as a cop car in blue..

No it was not slow as it was modded and V-max to 330 km/h. My average speed must have been around 230 km/h while crossing the 300 km/h mark on the strait sections.
Did not see a flashing Blue Gallardo behind me .

I agree with KD. The SL55 is far more quicker and meaner than the SL63. The supercharger makes too much of a difference. I was not impressed by the 63 at all. Hani, nothing beats the S class as you said

Nice. Sadly enough the day i drove a 55 I was in a speed zone. Manhattan to be precise ( Can you speed? except in GTA 4).

Gallardo would definately not be catching anyone for a speeding offence. I wonder technically India doesnt have speed limits why wouldnt some state make a road like Autobahn. I will open a rental car company then. JK

OOOH I can't believe I forgot!

I've also had a beautiful night drive to town and back in the S65! I almost forgot about that, 200km/h +++ on the EE all the while playing doge the pothole!

And also was at the Maybach India launch in Delhi a long, long time back (I think I was 15 or something, don't remember it so well, but dad reminded me, we were there together and I sat in the car. Nothing special I felt...I'm an RR guy!)

Thts nice. I seem to now realise on so many cars that I Drove. I love the Maybach but true not so much as RR

I do remember driving Holdens a lot the favorite one being a Monaro and the HSV series. Any Bhpians fan of HSVs?

it has to be the porsche cayenne turbo.

you have to experience it once in lifetime. the way the big car moves, simply defies all the commons sense and physics sense u have ever had in your life..

i suggest simply try it. it was more fun that the porsche 911 turbo

Agreed I drove it long back but it wasnt the Turbo variant. Also I was one of the lucky ones to drive it when it just got introduced in the market. My boss took me along with him for a drive (he was invited for it)

Well here's my list.. The cars I owned are not exotics but I loved them and kind of are my personal exotics considering I drive a Hyundai Accent and a Ford Ikon here in India....

1. Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (Still have it in US)

Here's the thread I started for the car
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/long-t...pse-gt-v6.html

2. Mazda Miata (Now Sold)

Other cars I have driven in New Delhi but not owned by me...(Someday may be I'll own them..lol):
1. Hummer H2
2. Porsche Cayenne Turbo
3. Lexus LX 470
4. Pajero
5. Mercedes E280

The cars I mentioned I have driven in New Delhi all belong to a friend of mine. He's owns a construction company (SS Group) in Haryana. All his cars have the registration number 100.

He is about to import a Range Rover pretty soon after the elections and to follow that is a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. He's more of a SUV person but wants to keep a super car in his collection and is still confused between LP640 or the 612, though he's more inclined towards the Ferrari since he's hardly heard of anyone having the 612 so far.

Are there any 612's in India?

And ya Karan hats off to you man. The best collection I have ever seen pictures of so far. I think only one person in pune comes close to your collection (I think you already know who I am talking about ).. One request though.. I come to Chandigarh quite often since my brother is a doctor at FORTIS Mohali, so next time I'm there can I just come and stand in front of your garage and drooool for hours please ..lol

[hillram]

Mercedes

[ajmat]

The best

Peugout 309SRi - I owned one tactile, sensous, frantic, supple ride and great on non motorways
Lancer Evo6 rally spec - totally stripped out, drove it on tarmac, sheer power and grip without electronic nany devices
Ferrari 360 - like a fencing foil - whip whip whip, zip zip zip, it was over fast
Porsche Boxster - one of the sweetest, balanced cars ever drived
Porsche 993 - awesome once you understand it (I never got enough time) but have seen what it can do. Heavy to drive
BMw X5 - was wary of it until I used it on UK countryside roads, felt like a hot hatch
Golf GTI 1 and 2 - amazing cars, nots as trigger happy as Peugeots. Weak brakes (poor rhd conversion design) and heavy non assisted steering
Renault 5 GT turbo 2 - nearest thing to a go kart - my intro to all or nothing turbo. Heavy clutch and dicky buid
VW dune buggy- it had character
Formula Renault around thruxton - gtrat fun, no strarter motor, no asisted anything, you got to keep it going!
Grinnal Scorpion - three wheeler kit car -superbike rear + two wheels on the front using Ford Cosworth brakes. Fast and scary; Like an Atom but with 3 wheels
BMW 318 e46 - okay, it is not so fast but it makes going sedately fun!
Ford Focus 1 - these were a hoot to drive, the Focus 2 is numbed with novocain
Merc 500SEL w126 - Panzer

Everyone says the best car I drove was a new BMW M3 in Feb 2008 from Germany to Austria.

So it must be the best car I drove, I guess.

Personally I was not so impressed with it. But what do I know anyway.

Buddy, I've also driven the SL55 from Delhi, but I've not played with it since it was a customer car & was kept for sale with my friend, so I was not able to enjoy the car as I did with SL63!
