My First Encounter with the Supercar kind



My first post, and what an event to start of with. The idea of the auto show at CEG and that of the R8 being there,was exiting but at the same time brought about the skeptical 'me' . I thought , well there will be tons of people or that the car would never arrive and that it would turn out to be a damp squib. I was wrong, first thing upon arrival at the venue, there it was !! in the covers.




The event went on well and along with the R8 and its collosal rims were some other exotics like the 1967 Ford Mustang, Hummer H3 , Mercedes SLK 350 Convertible , Mini Cooper S and the usual mercs and bmws and audis which have become quite common on Chennai roads








I got a good view of all cars thanks to some loitering around at the venue before the start of the event, but as the crowd started piling up , i was annoyed not by the crowd who were taking pictures from behind the stipulated line,but by the so called volunteers who were taking pictures for themselves and thereby ruining a lot more pictures for the visitors who had turned up.
Nevertheless it was a great day were i got to see a car i was ogling at while watching Jeremy Clarkson reviewing it on Top Gear ( Season 10 , Episode 2 ).


Still many Supercars to see ... but man !! where are those Hypercars ?? :p
