I was at the 8th Auto Expo 2006 in New Delhi. Courtesy a business visitors pass given to me by my dad.
The very fact that marquees like BMW, Porche and Benz was not there was in itself a big let down. To begin with I would like to divide Auto Expo in to some broad categories. Pavilions of auto components companies, truck companies some Bus manufacturers etc., have practically no meaning to me...
Then the Vintage car section, some really cool eye candies out there..
So, lets write about the other 2 categories that interest me the most....The 'cars that are in my reach in near future', and 'cars which are beyond my reach'...The absolute ripper in the 'car in my reach' category is most definitely Fiat Grande Punto..some neat lines and angles, what with Alfa Romeo right on its tail, it was such a crowd puller!! The association of FIAT & TATA Motors, I guess is going to breathe some life into FIAT...who continue to struggle in India even after a sound product line.
'Cars out of my reach category'...none other than Ford Mustang GT...I don't think Ford is going to launch Mustang in India, but if the import duty is eased in another 10 years, then for sure I would be tearing the Delhi's road apart..........

Vinna thats some explaination about the cars that you saw in 8th Auto Expo...and first of all thanks for the feedback as i desperately wanted it my post being an amateur writer. I'm not sure whether the excise duty on Mustang would be eased in the next 10 years but i would definately like to be in the drivers seat of that car some day before 10 years and let me tell you a honest opinion, to reach a mountain you have to climb from the bottom and once you reach the cliff of the mountain the drive down from the cliff is much easier. So dream big as Dreamers always have something to dream or a goal in their mind and iam sure you would achieve it.

A wise rapper said once...
"If you ain't rollin' right, you ain't rappin' right"...
I re-phrase it as "If I ain't rollin' right, I am not livin' right"
My ultimate dream is a BMW 7 Series Hybrid, but there are lots of other set of hot wheels which will feature in my life in between...May be Ford Mustang GT is one of them..
Thank you Sandy..I have been a dreamer all my life and I love it that way..
...till the next salvo..
