Q.Auto-Expo Experiences

It's been a month since Auto Expo 2016 and I was glad I could visit the stalls on Day 3. Since I haven't been to an expo before, I can't comment on how smooth this edition went by. But from what I could see, there were just too many people for my liking. I guess I should have come on a Monday as I heard it was less crowded on the weekdays. But still it was a good experience seeing concepts and cars I've been dreaming of up close. Here are a couple of my favourites from the 16th edition of the Auto Expo. [CENTER]The Hyundai Gran Turismo Concept and that gorgeous model![/CENTER] [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]n6011[/ATTACH] This concept looked wild in flesh [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6012[/ATTACH] Those three spoke wheels look menacing [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6013[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6014[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6015[/ATTACH] My first glimpse of a modern Ford Mustang.[/CENTER] [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]n6016[/ATTACH] That nose with the shark fin like elements on the headlamp looks mean [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6017[/ATTACH] The second oldest Mustang I've ever seen. Isn't that Ford Mustand Mach II? [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6018[/ATTACH] This cite little thing called the Honda NAVI. I like its tagline "Whatever It Is, It's Fun!" [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6019[/ATTACH] A more rugged version of the NAVI [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6020[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6021[/ATTACH] The instrument cluster looks cheap, but hey what can you expect when this thing costs some 30k-odd rupees. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6022[/ATTACH] Ecstar Suzuki's MotoGP machine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6023[/ATTACH] The Africa Twin's second life. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6024[/ATTACH] The Audi Prologue concept. A truly stunning piece of sculpture. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6025[/ATTACH] Renault Sport R.S. 01. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6026[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6027[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6028[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6029[/ATTACH] The Renault KWID Racer concept [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6030[/ATTACH] The front and rear diffuser and that searing paint of blue. What more could one ask for? [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6031[/ATTACH] Those wheels look gorgeous [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6032[/ATTACH] The KWID Racer came with Alcantara interiors. It even had a hald roll cage and four-point harness (not visible in the picture). [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6033[/ATTACH] This 1970 Datsun Bluebird 1600 SS. I saw a video of it once and all I could hear was that screamer of an engine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6034[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6035[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6036[/ATTACH] This concept roadster by Motormind called the Hyperion 1 blew everyone's mind. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6037[/ATTACH] And then the of course, these leggy lasses. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6038[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n6040[/ATTACH] Would I come for the next Auto Expo? Hell yes![/CENTER]

Not being a carophile, I have had so many of those awkward moments when everyone around me is talking about minute car details/specs and I am standing with a blank face with no idea about what these people are talking about. But then, you never stop learning new things, do you? At the expo, I just did not just learn new things, I experienced as well. From learning about what's under the hood of the Polo GTI to experiencing the iconic Nissan GT-R and the Ford Mustang. And I have to admit, the Honda Navi has completely taken over my heart- to the extent that I am actually planning to buy one soon. Other beauties included- Audi R8 V10 Plus & Chevrolet Camaro. Talking about the glamour at the event, well, Benelli models(both bikes and ladies :P) clearly stole all the limelight. These 7 days(Yeah, I was on a media pass:cool:) have certainly got me close to automobiles. Hope to read more auto-expo experiences by other members.
