Supercars & Imports : Chennai

Thad E Ginathom · 27th January 2010, 16:42

If someone drives a car like that, why would they care if the model confuses anyone? !

This thread is for those imports which have been spotted in Tamil-Nadu elsewhere than Chennai and Coimbatore, for which we already have a thread. So guys please share your pics and thoughts.

Here are the first set of pics of cars spotted in Ooty.

Karthik-zza · 27th January 2010, 20:49

What registration did the Lexus in the last pic have?

Are the rest of the cars TN redg by the way?

I think it's better to stick with the chennai thread and post all the imports in one thread instead of so many sub thread within TN.
A better way is to edit thread title of Chennai with "Imports in Chennai and TN" or replace chennai with TN in the current thread.

No offense,it's IMHO

Mods:Please decide on this.

The Lexus and Rangie had MP registrations and the SC has already been posted elsewhere in the forums. The Q7 had AP plates.

@sudan_nfs - Great pictures of the LP... have never set eyes on this awesome car, i guess its seen more in South Chennai than Central...

@mods- IMO the thread on the exotics of Coimbatore can be merged along with this thread and the Chennai thread should be left as it is.
Anyway, here are few more pics snapped in Kodaikanal on various occasions.

Its good to see the Underbody of the X3 painted in Body colour, but why did the guy leave the center portions out ? Looks weird !

@manish: ive been in chennai for the past three years and still havent spotted it buddy. that beast is truly elusive..

on another note, spotted a spanking red honda cbr (600 i guess) on the way to loyola college at about 4.30 today evening. the rider was suffering in heavy traffic surrounded by scootys pulsars and shareautos...

A Merc S350 and a vintage Caddy from Madurai. The Caddy is a display vehicle in a Honda showroom(which is probably no more a Honda showrrom but the Caddy is still on display). I got a permission to sit in it and the seats are armchairs with acres of legroom. The car is really well-maintained and even the AC is original and is in working condition

Sadly there was no permission to snap it from inside so I took a couple of shots from outside the showroom.

arjunrudra · 28th January 2010, 08:10

But agin no offense but most of the cars in Kodaikanal must be from chennai as i can already see them in the pictures.For instance i think that rangerover belongs to the india cements group from chennai.
