"Also chauffeur driven", meaning he might wanna drive himself too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anmolsc Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 yup as i said..they all are performance based /.and thier performance can not be utilised in india so no use cuz as far as the looks and interiors go 7 series and others have better plus m5 is a smaller car compared to the others..and costs the same if not more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who owns it in mumbai a Phantom EWB, he pays around 4-6L per month to maintain it. It includes touch ups, engine maintenance, paint up keep, leather maintenance, and the polishing of the flying lady ... It's a headache to maintain it in India. Dude why the Z4 i mean if you are considering a sports car why not get a ferrari california mate i know it's a lil more expensive but it's pretty much worth it as the california is a great luxury/sports car or the GTR if your dad has decided to go for a sports car.

Solitaire Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 It's been many years since our first car (as in the first one my dad bought without using his dad's money), about 2 decades ago I suppose. All came right around today. It was a Maruti 800 that we had for our first car. Red one. Had another maroon one side by side too. Years later we sold the red one before we upgraded to an Accent. The people who bought it were our good neighbours (they're our neighbours even today). They still have the vehicle with them though. And due to some misfortune that's befallen them, the man of the family is currently incapacitated and his son's settled in the states. The task of giving their car a run around the block to keep it in proper condition fell onto me. So my neighbour gave the keys to me. After using a chevy cruze plenty of late, the 800 was such a contrast. I thought wow now that's full of plastic when I went near the little red machine. The seats were rigid, the curves were non-existent and the dials and sh*t were functional but minimal and all boxy. The mirrors didn't have electric controls, the windows had to be operated manually. The steering wheel looked downright bad after the cars I'd driven over the last few years. But all that did not matter cos I felt really good to come back to the car that began it all for me. A particular vehicle that I'd never driven yet secretly lusted over in a strange Xbox LIVE accomplishment sorta way. All the niggles were forgotten as I put the 800 into first gear and took it out for a ride, not minding the fact that the brakes were a bit weak or the door handles a bit broken or that the gears didn't really slot in that well without a great deal of effort. Gotta say it felt good.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
