go to t-bhp's Chennai import car section for example and you will see there's a new Lamborghini bi-colore , a John Cooper Works Mini, an Impreza WRX STI among other latest European and American supercars on the prowl and all i easily spot are German cars. i must have been a German in my previous life.

the new BMW 3-series. a promo car showed up at a neighborhood antique car g2g and i had the chance to check it out upclose and personal. I like it. there's more space, better ergonomics, 8 gears and a lot more, except the rear. the rear could have been designed better though.

atleast the morning was brisk and sunny after three days of gloom. the evening reverted back to the norm, which is more dank and gloom

i really wish the Chinese wern't allowed to buy MG!

i received my invite for the Toyota Etios Exhibition race this weeked and it was mentioned that Ben Collins(formerly known as the Stig) is one of the special guests among others. i thought that the 'Stig' was never identified, or maybe i'm wrong. anyways, going by the invite Toyota has planned a fun weekend for Chennai's car fans including face painting , tattoo stands and more....let's see
