I was browsing the great interwebzz..

Searching for the availability of S2000 in India and I found this car forum and I came across this.. Linky

This dude is close to our town in India. I am just surprised at him for driving these cars out there in that crazy traffic and those bad roads. I have gone through pretty much all pages. This guy is pretty cool and he often tell regular forum people to come through for a ride if they are in town...



His latest addition to the stable, an Aston Martin DBS..

And I tried to register not once, not twice but three times and this is the kinda crap they gave me...

Dear ....

We are sorry, but your "Why Team-BHP" note was too short / had grammatical errors / wasn't well worded. Hence, your registration could not be approved this time. We request you to register again. Please be as comprehensive as possible in your "Why Team-BHP" note (on the registration form) to have your membership approved in a jiffy!

In the meantime, do note that:

1. You may use the same username & email address (as in your original registration attempt).

2. The entire forum is open & searchable, even to guests.

Keep Revvin',

The Team-BHP Support

probably some short tidbit that the forum is the best or something to help keep bots out from spamming. There are a few rich ballers in India. There's one guy there who imported a 7 series there, paid nearly 150K USD to do it!

^true. Hummers, Range Rovers, ML, Audi suv's, LX470 and Land cruisers are getting pretty common. They are crazy for SUV's too. A 4cyl Accord can cost as much as $42k...

The customs probably are killer.

We used to ship cars to Russia and we got an order for a new G500, customs were 100% of value of vehicle. Same with a Flying Spur.
