Sometimes, you should try and drive in North Madras too

@E_L: A very good view of the flyover. It looks like this pic was taken while the flyover was under constuction. A similar view with the fully constucted flyover would be awesome!

Get ready for another round of sights and cars in Chennai.

nickatnite · 24th April 2009, 22:10

Summer in the city!.Chennai cars and sights. There's a lot to see right in one's own neighborhood. Atleast, i think so.

neoranjit · 25th April 2009, 00:10

I thought 'see right in one's own neighbourhood' had something to do with the dark tints

anekho · 25th April 2009, 18:26

thanks for the update nick! I will overflow this thread in august

cheers

nitrous · 25th April 2009, 18:50

So, you bought tyres at B.M.Lal's , I see.

You spend way too much time at Khader Nawaz Khan Road and Ispahani, Nick!

MileCruncher · 26th April 2009, 21:04

Seeing the pictures made me nostalgic about Chennai as stayed there for about 2 years. Few things very particular to vehicles in Chennai are
1. Absolutely black tints
2. After market blaring horns.

Anyways keep the pictures coming

@neoranjit

A visit to your neighborhood is a must, i say. To check out the tints!.

@nitrous

Finally!. I'm all about delayed actions.

@All

Thanks!.

This set of pics is about traffic, the way we drive here, residential neighborhoods, Chennai's own Bullets and cars.

The A6 is now a domestic product!. How things change!.

anekho · 4th May 2009, 20:08

as usual, great pics nick!
chennai looks alot greener compared to last year!

cheers

sjcherian · 8th May 2009, 17:46

Good snaps Nick. I have to echo Nitrous when I say you are spending a lot of time at the same places :-). A lot of Red Swifts seem to be showing up as well.

neoranjit · 8th May 2009, 21:26

Same with the Beemers Nick. Parking lots seem so incomplete without a 3 or a 5 there. Just too many of them.
