Chennai Roadies

Saturday, December 12, 2009
Sharing a few photos clicked on the roads of Chennai. These are clicked over a period of time. You may have to click on them for a closer look.

1. Found on ECR: A nice big Honda Accord, Karnataka Registered and Belonging to Avis... Asked driver if it is available for self drive... Driver said yes, but said the cost is Rs 22,000 per day. Not sure if he is correct-Usually Avis doesn't give top end cars to individuals-they rent it only under corporate contract
2. Someone's getting down in style...

3. Wrong side: Not everyone cares to drive all the way to Madhya Kailash and take a U turn, covering 6+kms unnecessarily, while one can drive in wrong way for few hundred meters to reach their destination. Common scene near Tidel Park Signal
4. 2 B.E or Not to B.E?
5. Lock on... (read more about this here)
two vehicles chain locked

    Interesting photologue.

    Incidentally, Hondas and for that matter Japanese cars are hard to find for rentals in US.. Honda Accords are very popular cars among Desis in America for purchase. That rate is quite steep- wow!!

    And I am obsessed with which of your pictures carry copyright and which don't. Sigh, this will take some time to wear off.

    Jennifer,
    ok, thanks for the insights... I had another photo of a Honda City being transported on a truck-couldn't find that image...

    Ram,

    Tarun,
    thanks for that additional info. Guess those autos are for those who do not have left hand fully operational?

    All, I've added a few more photos at the end

    Shrinidhi, youve got a nice collection there..

    but i do not find anything humourous about INVALID CARRIAGE..

    invalid means handicapped/disabled..

    I guess its pretty fine for a disabled guy to have an autrick to move around
    ;)

    good work on the whole..
    =)
