Here's another 650i that I saw sometime back.

Yes, the pic I posted was of the new arrival. CH regd F430 with Scuderia stripes and Kreissieg exhausts.
It's not on sale, moreover, the next addition to the garage is also almost lined up ;)

Also, keep your cams ready, the new Fezza is in Cochin at the moment!

And an Audi A7 and I think the Porche Cayenne S as well. 7 cars if I am right. Not sure if he sold the Cayenne, it's been a while since I saw or heard of it.

IMHO, I feel the hotelier's F430 kind of looks better and 'fresh' compared to the Trichur F430, especially after hearing that the previous owners ripped it like hell. And I think the black alloys don't do justice to the car. It can either be the stock ones which looks great on the standard F430 or the actual golden ones from the 'real' scuderia would look even more amazing. But hey, no offense meant, that's just me talking.
But those exhaust notes, I heard that they are insane! Now that's something totally fitting for a Ferrari. I thought there was a Novitec Roso mod for the hotelier's F430 but got no confirmation from anyone on this.

+1
Trichur F430 is loud, really loud. Saw the video on youtube where it was ripping the streets of trichur. It was really loud. Even I prefer the hotelier's ferrari.
So since both ferrari's are in cochin am expecting they will meet. Time to keep the cams or rather video cams ready.

Comparing the Thrissur and Cochin F430s are like comparing apples and oranges, they're totally different cars from totally different backgrounds.

The Cochin car is a newer (08), well pampered, low mileage (2500kms!) car, while the Thrissur car is an older (07), thoroughly used example.

The differences were hugely evident in the price as well.

Even with the current owners, DN is someone who pampers all his cars and mostly takes them out at night when the traffic is less and the air is cooler, and the Thrissur guys, on the other hand, as evident from the videos on YouTube, prefers thrashing around the Fezza in rush hours and even in the rains.

The CH car had a rough life, and the TN car has lived life fit for a Fezza.

I too agree, the blacked out rims of the Thrissur car looks a tad shabby, if you look closely, the black paint from the front wheel has been chipped off at lot of places. It deserves better shoes, preferably BBS or HREs.

Totally agree with you there! I mean the plastic covering in the interiors are still there for Gods sake, in DN's car. He is indeed lucky to get this. And I also heard that DN had a look at the CH F430 in the first place and was not happy with the condition and then he found this. Not sure how true is that news anyway.
Yeah, the previous owner (or owners?) did a shabby job with the rims. And I felt the same for the Scuderia stickers, why pretend the car is a Scuderia, which is way superior. Not fitting for a Ferrari. Its like a fake badging that you do on a car to show it's a much higher variant. But hey, each to his own.

I thought BMW does it too :D

And there's two Mini's @ Tvm?

Maybe, I am not sure.The Gallardo Spyder owner did look at that car before he got the Lambo.

DN's F430 (TN) was a highly sought after car, the person who owns the red R8 in Trivandrum did give it a look, but the car was too overpriced at that moment, so he let it pass. He also checked out Spyderman’s F430 Spyder but a poorly installed ICE unit, with open wiring running through the cabin (:Shockked:) frightened him away.

So is Audi, not Patel Cars, Audi is appointing a new dealer for Trivandrum.

Nope, only one Mini at the moment. I have a sneaking suspicion that a red Cooper S has made it to Cochin. Not sure though.

Rather pointless, but may I ask about parking these beauties out in the open? :) And the Thrissur guys are known for their in-depth knowledge about technical stuff, aren't they? Just joking, not arguing with you. :D

Whos car was that, i just live next to the TAJ where the pic was taken and i guess by mistake this car entered our compound.

Yes, that is something even I wish DN’s done a bit better. He does have a proper porch that fits some cars next to his place, but I believe all his cars won’t fit in there and he mostly leaves the Fezza, R8, Carrera and 650i parked in front the house. Still, I think he uses body covers most of the time.

Yes, the Thrissur guys are very much into cars and they do love ‘em, but what I meant was their usage is very different from DN’s. Don’t get me wrong here; a supercar/bike does deserve to be used a tad roughly. There is a fine line between pampering and thrashing.
The CFS Speed was a demo car of Exclusive Motors, New Delhi. The car was showcased to some prospective customers at Taj Vivanta, and I believe they got couple of orders too.

Also, I heard this particular demo car, which was on sale, too has been sold to someone in Kerala. I am not sure how true this info though.

White Porsche, KL-11 registration, spotted in Oberon Mall parking lot today evening.

The Thrissur F430 is in Trivandrum from last night. Keep an eye out for it.

Here are couple of pics when it came to Coffee Day, Kowdiar last night.

I missed the car by 5 mins, from what I heard from my friends, he blasted up and down the Kowdiar stretch four times and later went to Leela, Kovalam.

Expect it to see it in the city anytime :)

Damn, just like the Murcilago owner, this guy is properly using the car, unlike the careful DN.
