Spotted this in UB mall parking. Not a genuine M3 for sure.

Sunday well spent with the Italian trio.

I believe the owner of the 488 Spyder (sitting on supremely tasteful HRE wheels) has also installed a Capristo plexi-glass engine cover.
Do we have pictures to support this? :)
Must say, the owner has great taste!

Saw this PY regd R8 V10 at Gandhi bazaar this afternoon. The same car was parked at the same spot yesterday too.
Saw an AP registered Porsche cayenne today morning around 8:15 in front of Christ college. It was wrapped in matt black and was not at all looking good. I could not take any pics as I was riding.
Attaching a pic taken from google for reference. It was looking similar to this
P.S : please: don't beat me and make me apologize to the car :D
The Jaguar Art of Performance Tour came to Bangalore again last weekend. JLR invited Team-BHP to attend so I decided to attend the event since I had not driven a Jag for sometime.
It was held at the Taneja Airspace airstrip. I would hazard a guess that more cars use this strip as opposed to planes!
There were three events:
The High Speed Lane Change
The Slalom
The 0-200 Sprint
These four felines picked us up at the staging point. The drivers and passengers were split amongst the cars, an XE, XF ,XJ and an F-Pace. Being the bigger man, I selected the XJ. We were given a demo - which involved accelerating hard, swerving and braking hard.
The XJ felt its weight but I could swing it in hard and brake in time. Rolled a bit though. I then moved to the XF 2.5t - I was impressed how composed this car was. The XE 2.5t was even more nifty but it felt a little cramped inside. The F-Pace (3 litre R) impressed me the most considering its bulk, roll minimal compared to the XJ.
Oh - I did make a fellow lady driver who was a passenger in the XJ rather queasy, got a rather sarcastic "Thanks Ajit" after that road.
We then walked over to the 0-200 sprint.
The red F-Type R coupe was allocated for us to drive while the F-Type V8 convertible was reserved for passenger rides. The roar of the V8 teased us till our respective turns came along. My number appeared and I took my place. It was rather cozy inside and I needed to push the seat out. Interiors although funky lack the inherent quality of a German car.
It was pretty easy to manoeuvre, waited for the other F-Type to return and then I floored it in D mode. The instructor started calling out the speeds, I touched around 220 but eased off a little as i felt the rear yawing due to undulations. On the return tun, I touched 240km/h but I slowed down soon after as i under-estimated the brakes. Considering the proximity to the public area so I braked early. The F-Type was awesome and pretty stable but I would have loved some corners to play with. Here's a recording of my sprint.

The finale for the day was the slalom - 2 X XE's + 1 XF and an F-Pace 2.0 ltr
We had to accelerate hard, do a couple of slaloms and brake and repeat again. The brake point in between is to probably ensure one does not get too giddy.
I got the XF first. This car really impressed me with its balance and steering feel, all it needed was more power. I then switched to the XE, this was quite frisky and held up well although the rear was a bit more playful. However I found the XF has that extra panache under duress!
And then it was F-Pace. I get behind the wheel and I found my passenger was that queasy lady who promptly said "Thanks in advance". I warned her that the effect would be more due to the higher centre of gravity. I floored the F-Pace, it was far from aggressive compared to the 3 litre, but with a lighter nose, she handled the slalom well. I was impressed but the interiors were a bit ordinary compared to its competitors
I had another go in the XE. The videos that I took did not really show much as the other drivers were hesitant (I went all out since I had done something similar before!). However, I realised that my steering inputs were a little too coarse. Here is how the instructor does it in the XF.

Summarising, I really enjoyed the Jags, buff up the interiors, allow us the option of 6 cylinders and improve the aftersales and we will purr in delight!
Let me end with what a Jag does to kids - this is from my dash cam some years ago

On my morning walk - and what do I see ? The Maserati parked inside a house a stone's throw away from house.
Spotted this Lexus yesterday on Race course road.

That's reckless driving at best! Criss crossing, insane speeds on traffic, somebody please send the video to BTP. Also it appears that car has sunfilms.
Today, spotted this Murcielago and Nissan 350Z convertible rolling together in Jayanagar 4th block in the morning. The V12 sounds insane! Also I could hear the turbocharger on the 350Z. clap:
Also spotted another car present in the last image.
Maserati Levante.
Sorry for the poor quality images. Clicking on the picture improves the quality by a little. The images were taken off a video.

IMHO The Nissan doesn't look good at all. First the colour and then the weird body kit.:Frustrati
