asethi919 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 I had a chance to visit the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1 team press conf. held on Friday. Jenson Button and L.Hamilton chatted up the crowd and were extremely entertaining. Jenson Button is particularly hilarious. I also got a chance to talk to Shapur Kotwal who is the Deputy Editor of Autocar India. I told him about being a member of the forum and we discussed the new ACI website for a bit. What a great guy!

sb-alto 21 Report post Posted November 12, 2011 I spotted two beauties in Kolkata yesterday. One is a 1978 BMW M1 Procar, yes, its original. Could not take a pic as it was doing good speed and my mobile camera is pathetic. Man what sound it makes!! The other is the neighborhood BMW 650i.

creativebala 178 Report post Posted November 19, 2011 Been to Horsley Hills in AP by car for a day. A simple no non-sense hill station, worth giving a try if you plan to stay not more than 2 days. The Hill station is too small. All it has is a AP Tourism Resort(WVery good Resort with Restaurent, Swimming Pool, Bar and some small recreational activities) and 2 or 3 small guest house and 2 or 3 shops. The place is COOL 'n CALM. Period. Point to be noted - No ATM, No Fuel pumps, No shops after 9.30 PM PS- Do not miss the Chilly Bajji opposite to the resort.

TSiVipul 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2011 Damn...How the hell you lost your bike Dr Nishu?? Rest,now you need to be quite tension free as it will never come back now(I KNOW MY WORDS ARE BITTER,BUT THEY ARE TRUE)a bike is gone,that means its permanently gone. You can file police complains as a formality nothing else. Rest be careful from next time onwards,and move on just considering it as an expensive lesson.(DON'T THINK THAT I AM NOT FEELING BAD FOR YOU,BUT ITS JUST A PIECE OF ADVISE IN QUITE DIRECT WORDS).. Well,now my turn.. Sessional exams,internal practicals,all assignments etc etc etc..all over,semester exams from day after tomorrow..but but but NOW I AM QUITE FREE AND HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DAILY VISIT THE FORUM,after all I am going to be the future mod..

Just for the heck of it wanted to try out the Rs.1502/3GB/1month plan so recharged with it, am on prepaid. Its working fine but expensive. After doing this I realised there is a 1250 10 GB plan.
