Yup the Audi showroom is in full flow. I'v seen lots of cars ready for deliveries, A4, A6, A8 and even Q7's.
I see it on my way to work daily.
It's just before Navnit on Hosur road.

I saw a Touareg V10 TDI today on Hosur Road, near Madivala area.

It looked wonderful. Surprisingly the car did not appear bulky considering the monster engine. Managed to get a couple of quick (but not too clear) shots from my phone camera. It zoomed off when the signal turned green!!!!!

I missed mentioning this in my post -- the driver had the external mirrors folded. I thought the mirrors on the Touareg are high enough to survive our chaotic roads. Save the mirror and spend on a scratch / dent?????

Vid6639 · 7th December 2006, 22:29

taken at madiwala check post is it? hmm civic dash board.

Yes, i spotted it just after the Madivala Police Station. It filled my mirror; so let him go ahead, grabbed the phone and got two quick pictures.

i have a pretty big wig mla (i will give you a clue..he runs a mining business and has a helicopter) living on my street..he has a white Toureag V10TDI with DL reg plates...he has a bunch of other cars too...including what appears to be either a CLK or SL AMG sitting in his driveway under wraps. I can confirm its an AMG because of the quad exahust.

vezj420 · 10th December 2006, 20:25

Ah yes, the elusive Touareg(s) that seem(s) to be randomly appearing everywhere around BLR!

Roovee, good job on the pics...clearest so far! It does have a very sleek look to it, and I do like that 'ad' that VW has done of the Touareg towing a Boeing 747!

U've spotted this thing as far south as Madivala, eh? I've seen Touaregs twice so far (is it the same one?!) - once in/near Frazer town heading north, and once at the infantry-road-side entrance to Cubbon Rd.

And might as well include this here - I finally saw the yellow Porsche Boxster on Palace (Bellary) Road heading towards downtown.....at night time though, so couldn't get any pics :(

Nikhilb2008 · 11th December 2006, 12:38

I saw a light blue coloured Jaguar X-type on my way back from college.... I was on RV Road.

From the back, it looked different. First thought was Sonaat (old one), but then I realised it wasnt true.... I knew it was a Jaguar but somehow I couldnt believe it.

I went closer and saw X-type written on it. Overtook it and finally saw the leaping cat on the bonnet.

It had a DL registration...... The guys in the car didnt want to be seen. Once I started staring at the car, they purposely slowed down a lot to let me get ahead of them. I stopped by the side of the road and started moving when they came next to me again. then they tried to lose me by speeding, but there was a bit of traffic...... Finally, they got an empty stretch of road and speeded away....

No pics as I dont have a camera phone and I was also riding at that time...

vezj420 · 11th December 2006, 13:07

Haha Nikhil....probably another of those corrupt-politico types in the X-type that don't wanna be spotted pi$$ing state exchequer funds away!!
