Guys,
upon my retrn to the UK i was itching to tell some one of this, i was in india for 2 weeks to visit family there. We had decides to vist a few places and were on the way towards the Rajastan border from the Punjab.
As we all know india has not got the best roads in the world nor has it got the best transport, we were in a small suzuki car thing about 800 cc engine.
The trip to the place was around 3.5 hrs each way, on the way there there was a good strecth of newly laid road, so there i was gazing out the windscreen..... when i thought i saw a Merc sign.... i blinked and opened my eyes again and it was a merc badge, attached to the badge was a vintage 190SL in black with the top down and a guy and his partner soaking up the sun i quicky pointed it out to my wife and was gob smacked to see such a car, and in india.
Anway after the initial shock of it i though ti ti to be a rare one of somebody who obviously had a shed load of surplus cash and had moved to India for whatever reason. But to my shock further down the road about 20-30 mins and other one pulls out this time a white 190SL ..... now i was confused...
I dont see those types of cars here in the UK and rarely see them in the US when i go over, but 2 mint 190SL's in one day and in india......
i was tempted to tell the driver to stop and go after them but i decided against it.....
So if anyone knows if there was some sort of race or challenge in india i would love to know about it....
Regards
Raj
