Vahan Yatra 2007 – The bird’s eye view

Well, today we got a chance to take a bird’s eye view of Vahan Yatra 2007 (Auto Expo) at KTPO, Whitefield in Bangalore. I have to call it a bird’s eye view as the show was not in a full swing. The people were still setting up the stalls. I hope it will start by tomorrow.

My manager had some passes but we hardly used it as there was no one to check at the entrance. As soon as we got down from our bikes, we were stunned looking at some of the bikes (no, not in the parking slot) but parked in one of the stalls. I was amazed looking at those bikes especially the tyres as they were much thicker than my car’s tyres. One more reason to be amazed could be because I have seen these bikes for the first time in my life. (except for the movie Torque and Dhoom). I have even seen USA in TV, but the things are quite different when you see them in reality. I took some snaps and entered the hall.




The very first stall we landed upon was Reva. They had 3 models on display -> the classic Reva (did not like much), Reva(designed by Dilip Chhabaria).. The wow factor -> open roof car in red color. It reminded me of Saif’s car in Salaam Namaste minus the white roof. They say that it’s the future model.
The price is between 3.5 – 4.5 lakhs.

Then I laid my eyes on the contrasting twins – Swift (one white and one black color). Though the cars were locked, I got a chance to have a look in the boot of the white one. It had a JL audio woofer installed around 12-14 inch size. I can imagine the level of output that it might be producing.

Then saw a huge vehicle in red-pink kind of color, big tyres…. Modded by Chameleon. I think these people are more into selling alloy wheels as I saw variety of those in their stall. Even saw an Atlas stall but nothing was there. JBL and Audio Dynamics (In-Car Entertainment brand) were still setting up the things. I hope more people from ICE will be coming up.



And now the show-stealer, saw Porche black in Stanley’ stall.

The things are still under preparation and will take a full swing on the weekend. I have taken a pass from my manager and will be visiting their with my wife on Sunday, 9th December, the last day of the show.

Looking forward to see lot of cars, ICE(In-Car Entertainment) stuff and lots of hotty babes. ;)

Chow….
