Expo '2010; ...Part 2

... After the formal greetings finally the four of us, Abhijeet, Rony, Devesh & me set out with the camera to capture the Expo beauty (as mentioned by Abhi). Next was Hall No. 10 (H10); a conglomerate of Audi, BMW, Bosch, Tata & Fiat. The coolest part in Bosch was the ABS simulator. Experiencing the ABS simulator from inside was fun. The BMW section contained the recently launched X6 M & the 760Li, the former priced at 1.3 & the latter at 1.29 crores. Audi was as crowded as a fish market... I can’t imagine the kind of rush in general hours if this was the picture in Business hours. The German manufacturer had launched A7, R8, Q7 & the Sportsback amongst others. Next to Audi was the Indian car of 2009, Nano’s Electric Version. The array of vehicles from Tata Motors included Venture, Magic Iris & the MPV Aria. The Jaguar XJ was giving complex to BMW 7 series. The Stall next to Tata was Fiat.

Hall 6D encompassed Honda & Toyota. ASIMO, the humanoid interacted with audience, danced & proved to be the biggest crowd puller at Honda. Toyota’s Etios was the centre of attraction though Prius was also liked by many. The Volkswagen Polo was cool & has been voted the car of the year 2010. Hyundai in H7 showcased the i10 electric. The Game zone for children was evidence that there was something for everyone at the expo. The maximum temp for the day had fallen to 12 deg, lowest in the last 7 yrs, as announced by IMD. But Expo was an exception; one could drop down his jacket & still feet burning hot. All said & done, the showstopper was none other than the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG. It had spread the wings as if one just needed to say... Get...Set & Go... & there it goes into the sky.
In the bikes section we had Harley Davidson motorcycles priced at a whooping 35 Lakhs & the Yamaha R1 bikes. I was also impressed by the hybrid & electric rickshaw by TVS & Yamaha respectively. 10 AM to 7 PM; 9 Hrs we were incessantly walking though I had my younger bro, Nisharg to accompany me in the latter half. But still, that was too much considering my sedentary job. So M going to rest & it’s time to bid good bye.
