Shoolay circle is near the junction of Richmond Road and Brigade Road. There is no such thing as "Schuele" circle as far as I know, but this is probably the unofficial name of the fork in Hosur road at the Spring factory (Stumpp, Schuele and Somappa). It's also called by other names like "Yenkay", "Checkpost" etc.

my sightings today. spotted in a convoy with 2 police gypsies on both sides. lead car was gypsy followed by A8, then A6 then X3 then another police gypsy.

got my friend to break the whole convoy to take these pics one car after another.

The Audi A8 was a 3.0TDI quattro.

ajmat · 2nd April 2007, 22:03

X3 has diplomatic plates, A8 is/was on taxi plates - must be a foreign delegation

manikjeet · 2nd April 2007, 22:05

WOOO must have been a really powerful person

Vid6639 · 2nd April 2007, 22:08

yup ajmat, X3 had CC plates. A8 had Delhi plates not yellow ones though. A6 had temp registration.

A8 and X3 did have foreign delegates but A6 was all indian. Looks like they were either VW guys or Audi.

IIRC it is a 328 Ci. Used to be owned by a famous hotelier here who now has 2 Continental GT's (On taxi plates) & around 3-4 S-classes apart from BMW 7-series, Cadillac STS etc.

Nope, Mr. Lalit Suri passed away last year.

v1p3r · 3rd April 2007, 03:37

Is his family still in possession of the Lamborghini?

I think so, last I checked the car was parked in the Hotel driveway as usual. But don't think she's run that often for the past decade or so, more of a show piece.
