Had been to the show on Thursday. Nothing great according to me. It was like browsing through the snaps on tbhp. Took loads of pics, but the only car i find missing from the ones posted by others is the pic of the Tata Formula car. If i remember right, it was 165 PS with a top whack of 260 kmph. Nice to see Tata doing such stuff, although overall quality of construction paled in comparision to the Chevrolet Formula Car.

The S2000 and the Rover were not there while i was there. Overall just an ok show.

Albeit empty, was quite surprised and happy to see a Team BHP cube. With some visitors wondering whether it was some sort of racing team, i manned the stall for a few minutes telling them what it was all about. Was good fun. Also got to meet Indian Dawg while doing so. Shall catch up with more guys next time.

Ciao.

Good pics whacky... I was supposed to on the first day itself but couldnt make it. Went on Saturday. It was really crowded so couldnt click great pictures . Like Aditya mentioned earlier the line to see the bikes was like the Sidhivinayak line. I only regret not clicking the V Rod.

The V-Rod and the Range Rover didin make it on the first day ... There was the Red Hayabusa instead(belonging to te same owner,infact he's also bought a Triumph Rocket III !!! )
Well I did click pics of the V-Rod will post them soon ...
And yes we saw the Auto show like Kings on Thursday ... all those interior pics are courtesy a pass to go during the official press timing.... there were quite a few personalities around that time Narian,Ebrahim(A1 GP),Gautam S,Anand Mahindra etc etc.

Regarding the tata indica, I think Narain Karthikeyan drives a similar spec car. But I heard it had a renault engine(???) though. A cousin of Narain's told me once.
