This I totally agree with! I hate it when it rains in Chennai! I somehow feel it would be still worse in Bombay when it rains...

Hey REM i too live too damn close to the Porsche outlet in bbay I pass it at least twice everyday and my desire just hits the roof!!!!
I too love driving and cant even dream of being driven and most weekends we leave the city and drive to a place called Alibag which is a 3 hour drive from bbay. Most guys will take the ferry as it takes only an hour but lunatics like me drive!!!

I dont like being driven Dinyaar I get the jitters gets really scared sitting beside when someone else drives.

The BMW 3series already has 16inch wheels what do you plan to change it into

No i dont get scared sitting with anyone, its just that i like to drive. I am a poor pillion on a bike though, that sometimes scares.
REM not the 16 " rims which i really like its the Run Flats that are a problem on uneven/potholed roads. Very hard ride and u feel everything

I was being polite and didn't want to go into the details of why I hate it, but yeah, that's one of the main reasons! hyeah:

Oh ok I thought you were going to change the whole thg.

As far as pillion riding on a bike is concerned I dont have any problem coz I dont know how to ride so m better off letting others do it.

@ Gruby

Sorry tht i went into the details
I just cannot forget Koovam when I thk of Madras

Run flats even get damaged with our roads. I read in Autocar that one guy destroyed the tyres while driving his brand new 3 series after taking delivery from Bangaore to some nearby town. He was asking for replacement but BMW argued that he went too fast on uneven roads and that damaged the tyres

And am sure they are pricey too. Someone told me each Run Flat costs about 40K !!! and are not available at the regular tyre shops in bbay so one has to keep going back to BMW.
Problems problems problems. Guess its safe to stick to the Honda s for a while

+1 to that. I too get scared with others driving. I see their point when they mention how they have to put up with my driving, but still....

As for bikes, sitting pillion is out of the question. With cars, yes I can adjust. But not with bikes.

Suri ,Liked the great dane cross is he as tall as a great dane

hi rem,
he is 6 months old now, should reach his full height in about 12 months time, but he will not be as big as a great dane - probably 3/4 as tall as a small great dane and 1/2 as big as a big great dane!

Gobble got one special one for you

Whoa! A mini cow!!

Here is a brief about Ongole:
http://www.fao.org/ag/aga/agap/FRG/FEEDback/War/v0600b/v0600b04.htm

It is said to have come down from the Harappan times through indigenous methods of selective breeding usually also celebrated in village festivals and rites (Brahmani Bull ritual). The 7 to 8000 years of nurturing this breed has resulted in a very hardy and resilient livestock prized the world over. Its genetic stock has been exported to most of South America and Africa and majority of cattle in the USA used for meat comes from this bull.

Ongole is the world's oldest, tallest and hardiest cattle breeds, and has been around since the early days of Harappan civilisation. The sculptures on the walls of our ancient temples all show Ongole bulls. Lord Shiva's bull Nandi is an Ongole.

Just FYI ...

Gobble,

You were serious abt this I thought you were kidding.

 

[grubyhalo]

Damn, they are big!

 

[gobble]

Gobble,

You were serious abt this I thought you were kidding.

I am a serious admirer for sure!!

Edit: When I think about an alternative lifestyle, breeding Ongoles, cats and having a mango and guava orchard is what comes to my mind ... a far cry from being an I.T professional

Cheers
