    The grills, the exhaust, the alloys all suggest that the black one is a HGTE.

    People here can confirm it if it's an HGTE or not.
    I feel it's a HGTE. Please correct me if I am wrong :)

    If it was real, I would love to get a ride in it, maybe even pay a little extra to drive it. Hell, I'd love to get paid to drive it. :D

    MaxHP, things are changing but at a slow pace :). Things have improved a lot in past few years but are yet not of very high standards.
    You should give India a visit and try driving on Indian roads. It will be like real life NFS :D

    3604u - You shouldn't forget that Indian roads are very well suited for WRC :D.

    Not sure about the partying part as I heard it's super expensive to party in Mumbai. Driver sounds cool! Never ever had one, except for buses :) lol

    If I ever meet you in person, we can talk about Mumbai, I am sure you have a lot to share . :) I only go to India to visit temples and am not sure where to go and what's what!

    Sounds good!
    You Have any opinion on pearl 55, a friend is thinking of buying one and max speed is 30!
    Is it reliable , and anything to look out for. It's a rebuilt as the previous owner had an accident.

    Thanks , and the Spore thread is dying without you and Lung :)

    Holy ****. Is it sad that the only car I give a **** about there is the X6?

    How come I haven't gotten a request from the other "brown people on FChat"?

    LMAO. Sera-ri. I saw that on Team-BHP a few times.

    When was the last time you went down there?


    Also, this post was basically my reporting to the motherland, FChat style!

    I usually spend my summers in India and drive a white 2007 Honda Accord with limo tints. Balling in Mumbai ;)

    Those are fascinating stories, not too sure about the garbage trucks but do u guys know if any interesting RRs are still in road worthy condition today?

    Was told by my mechanic that he saw many barn finds in Sri Lanka but couldn't make out what they are.

    If you visit India sometime you can easily find numerous good examples of RRs.
    Can't say about the authenticity of these but I have been hearing the garbage stories since I was a kid :).
