@Toofan...

Yeah. They could have made the 'sport' look a little sportier, though the engine is awesome and it has a genuine MOMO steering wheel, with a Mitsubishi logo on it!.Have fun and loosen it up at the radio station. My fav RJ is Howard Stern. So go figure my maturity level.lol.Also, post me ur blog link, if you can. Did you take that pic?. I like the blue truck and isn't it a Bedford?. Do they still make 'em?.I like those old trucks.

I took this pic at 645pm earlier this evening to check if my phonecam is alright or do i need to get a new camera!. I've been not too happy with the quality of pics lately.What do you think?.

Check out GM(India)'s latest sales gimmick. It's been working for them lately...

Nick bhai: lol; I thought you would've noticed my blog link in my signature uptill now; Khair click here to go to my blog. & Yes i took that picture with my crappy 2 mp fone cam. Yup its bedford, They do not make them..they are British leftovers; Some are very well restored and mostly they aren't; thats why we usually dont drive near to these (limp)trucks as you can also see that he has just tied that Tank on its rear bed with just a single roll of Iron string around it.

The foto is fine for with little blur. Ill recommend you to buy a good Cam-fone coz you're always taking up picture on the move over a Camera.

I like the test drive part of Chevy UVA!!

@Toofan....

re: driving near the truck.lol. It does look pretty precarious.Nice blog. Aamir fan, eh?.U remind me of a friend of mine from Karachi , Douglas, who now lives in NY.He does visit this site once in a while.This weekend i try and buy a good camera and it's the same price now, US or here , so i'm not sweating about it. An 8MP would do just fine.The U-VA is a competent but boring family hatch and any attempt to make it look sportier is a waste of effort. The pic below is for wik_a, mainly.

Thanks!. Will do.

This is from an ad in the Times of India newspaper. Audi has launched the Q5 here . A visit to the local Audi dealer is long overdue!.

Nick bhai: Aaamir fan? what made you say that..tell me Ill get rid of it within as soon as you tell me!! & Re: the blog..Thanks!!

Ahh I like the back of the Q5 very very much!! Very cool looking cross-over SUV!!It is a cross-over SUV isnt it?!

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2009-06-04 12:25:00 +0600 #1727

I saw an ad for blackberry with his face in your blog. re: ur reply-lolz!. I've been planning to go to the Audi showroom and somehow never found time. I like the Q5 too. I'll check it out and post pics before i wind down this segment. Meanwhile, i found this Audi in my fav coffee shop parking lot.It's still gloomy over here.

Now, only 5 days to go. June09 is the launch date for the Jazz.RS6.5lacs for this thingy!.

ToofaneBatameezi (ToofaneBatameezi) 2009-06-04 12:53:00 +0600 #1729

Try to get a test drive of the Q5 and post it here!!

@nick-Nice thread bro..great pics.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2009-06-05 13:24:00 +0600 #1731

@Toofan

Re: the Q5.If they'd let me take a test drive, why not?. I will. The car costs RS35lacs which includes the 109% import duty. The A4 and A6 are assembled with local content in India, so they're cheaper, proportionately.

@KILLMAN

Thanks!.

I had a sneak preview of the Jazz. I've never seen one stateside, and this was my first view and i LoVe it!. It is a great car and pricing is expected to be approx. RS6.5lacs. It will sell well. Honda has beat Toyota in the small car race in India. Toyota fails.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2009-06-05 13:37:00 +0600 #1732

Sneak pics of the Jazz. I'll post clear pics when the car is in the showroom at one of the Honda dealers here. The car is equipped with a 1200cc i-vtec engine and a test drive is a must!. I have to wait for a week for that, though.The lighting in the basement garage sucked, else i would have got clear pics.

jazz seems to be a good car.design seems to remember me toyota innova

All car designers copy off each other. The Chinese to the extreme, but they're not alone.TATA Motors tried to be different with the Sumo Grande and look at the response they got!. The new Indicruz is more mainstream and also looks like the Innova!. They learnt their lesson.

Some spotting pics to round off the weekend..

Audi is selling the Q7 wholesale in Chennai, it seems!. Check out this thread for my own pics of the Q7 and my spotting of imports are meager in comparison to the actual cars i see on the road.The two stones placed alongside the tyres is what attracted me to this car, while driving. I wonder why?.

Guess the car behind all the makeup?.It used to be made in Chennai, till the i-20came along.

Stealth

A slight altercation between two 2-wheeler guys at this traffic junction led to this mess!. Just check out the 2-wheeler guys squeezing through every little space. Thankfully the cops were right there, yet it took almost 3-5 minutes for the backlog to clear.

On this note, i shall meet y'all next week. Have a great weekend.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2009-06-06 11:20:00 +0600 #1737

I always do this. I forgot to post some spotting pics and since i'm on the net, might as well post 'em. Will update with showroom pics of Honda Jazz next week.
