Pics : Cadillac Escalade EXT in Mumbai

Edmund · 21st September 2005, 01:14

I always seem to run into these awesome machines when my camera is at home!!!

This time i spotted the awesome Cadillac Escalade EXT....in skyline GTR Blue.....Opposite Thousand Oaks On East Street guarded by 2 Uniformed security guards!!!!!
And as i am crazy about pickup trucks, i absolutely flipped!!!!!

Rushed home picked up my Camera and when i got there it had left already!!!!

A picture for the uninitiated!!!

Pics of the car from my Motorola V3 at Taj Lands End Bandra yesterday evening. Not very good pics as was pouring like crazy and very gusty winds.

Cheers and Happy Hunting

Why the bull-bar grill!!! Totally ruining the look of the car .... Putting such guards on cars like the Qualis make it look stronger but this one already looks Mighty Strong! Putting that guard is totally ruining the front end looks.

Well, it could look worse if it met with an accident without the bar

Not a very avid fan of pick up trucks ... ("IF" it were me!!)I would pick the Escalade SUV over this one ... preferably black ... and aah!! 20" chrome spinners to go with it !!

A Cadillac Escalade SUV can have 26" wheels if i'm not wrong.

Techno

If it had an Arab reg no. it might be brought down here for a short period of time. You can get down cars like that

I was drivin back from churchgate at about 5 pm on sunday afternoon when i see this huge truck in the mirror so i slow down to let it pass n when it goes by i realize what it was.An absoloutely gorgeous blue coloured escalade pick up it was huge and apparently quite powerful because the guy behind the wheel was going nuts.It was a left hand with kuwait plates.Anyone else seen it
