No one said pics are bad, BTW they take time to load the page too, imagine waiting to see cars and instead everything else pops up but that.

You know what, Carachee-ji, you're probably right, I'm going to edit my introductory post so that you know not to expect pictures of cars in every post of mine. How's that?

P.S: Be reasonable, a majority of my posts in my thread contain photos of wheels.

Rocket_mullah, thanks mate

Junoon79, appreciate the kind words.

Thank you

Rainy days are here again! I haven't seen the sun in weeks, and this couldn't have come at a better time given how brutal the summer was...

Peter Dias Road

The BMC's sanitation department vehicles...
Force-MAN

TATA

This suburban business district is usually teeming with office workers throughout the day, but the advent of the monsoon means they're all holed-up indoors.

My morning commute was unusually calm...

The usual German lot...

I love the new E in this colour...

Needless to say, the garages feel damp and moist this season...

The new ML, barely visible through the pouring rain...

This city bus needs a wash asap...

Thanks, Waqas, and yeah, I think the new 7 is a lot easier on the eyes.

I think this thread would've become boring if the OP was to post pictures of automobiles only. The buildings, holiday spots, landscape and everything else makes this thread even more interesting. Way to go @Bombaywala. This threads makes me visit India. Do you have any idea how much would the tickets to the Indian Grand Prix which is to be held in October would cost?

I must say, after befriending many indians, Indians are wayyyy ahead when it comes to enjoyment, class, aura, and an overall way of living than Pakistanis.

Seems like you guys really are enjoying life down there!

My friends and I were supposed to visit Delhi this july, lets see how it turns out.

Cheers Born2Race! I haven't looked up IGP ticket prices, but I shall enquire and let you know.

Though we have our negative moments, it can be a lot of fun here, just like any other massively diverse, mostly tolerant society. Bombay though, is quite different from the rest of India, and is often described as an entity that has always demonstrated all shades of India in its cosmopolitan composition, and now, a lot of the world too. At the risk of sounding like a 'Visit India' representative, I suggest you guys make a trip here if you can.

^^ WTF are you saying? Nice.
That city has CHANGED man; I am shocked everytime I go. Let me know how it works out for you.

Whilst on my way to work this morning, the Polo's EPC indicator blinked a couple of times, and the car just stopped bang in the middle of the street. I called VW, who sent a technician and a flatbed towtruck over to where I was stranded within 30 minutes of my calling. Great service by VW India, but I hope this continues and that my car is delivered back to my residence by tomorrow evening. They sent a 1.2 Polo donor car a couple of minutes ago. Whew!

Bombaywalla (Bombaywalla) 2011-06-16 05:52:59 +0500 #497

Some photos during the wait...

I hitched a ride with the towtruck guys to another waiting car...

My route looked slightly different from a truck...

^Yeah i hope it turns out well, got a few friends from main line delhi, might come to goa as well.

Delhi must be the most rapidly developing city now a days, though I'm a Pakistani, it doesn't hurt me saying that I actually am from Delhi

Grand Parents were well settled there till partition.
