    I've been visiting India 2-3 times a yr for work (I'm in the US). I'm in Goa for the first time. Staying at Taj Fort Aguada. Ok place; seems like it's getting a little old/needs better maintenance.

    Spending my days on the beach mostly, but went out to a club Saturday night (Sinq; couldn't get into Club Cabana cause I'm solo). Everything is reasonably priced here except 'stag' entry into clubs. But I get it.

    Back to the beaches. For the most part, I love the shacks! Food & Bev is every it as good as hotel, but super cheap and better atmosphere. I had fish curry, 2x beers for lunch and it was about $8.50 !!!

    What I don't like is how dirty the beaches are. Coming from Southern California where we really try to keep beaches clean (and it's not perfect), it was disappointing on the beach and in the ocean. Trash everywhere!!!

    People, especially the locals are awesome! Very friendly and hospitable. There are a lot of Russians here, and many signs are in Russian.

    Not a haven for exotics, but I've spotted a coupe really nice Maserati's!

    Cheers,
    DL

    Hi DL,

    I hope you enjoyed your stay in India :)
    Not only is the beach dirty but majority of the cities too are not very clean.
    This is what the current P.M is working on currently. You can find him publicizing clean India campaign.

    Overall there aren't many high end exotics in India and if you spotted Maserati you got lucky :p

    It would be great if that is the case and I hope it doesn't turn out like the Enzo rumor :)

    Having just spent a few weeks in Noida, I can't imagine driving an exotic there. Maybe off hours when the traffic was not as bad but eventually it would have dents in it. The Yamuna tollway was not bad.

    Hehe yeah .. the city roads are not very car or driver friendly but on the contrary the new National Highways are pretty good :). But I think hardly anyone takes their exotics to these NHs. But when in Noida, the people have access to Budh International Circuit :D

    If you are into old Rolls Royces, then there is great stuff of the Maharajas but when it comes to old Ferraris, India hardly has any :(

    I dont see driving a car like a la ferrari or a ferrari on indian roads abeit in the night when there is perhaps light traffic and the roads dont look great either. Me thinks 4x4 would be much better for roads as these.

    Yeah, still the infrastructure isn't the best to enjoy these cars.
    I am pretty sure you have a first hand experience of driving a ferrari on Indian roads :) ??
    But at the same time people have to make best use of what they have :).

    As for LaFerrari, it is on carnet and will soon be out of the country.
