City dwellers had a chance to ogle at such beauties early Sunday morning and Vivek Manjarekar from the MotorBeam team was present there snapping away to glory (check out the gallery above for more than 65 pictures).
“The event was supposed to flag off early but it didn’t till 10.30am. It was flagged of by Commissioner of Police, Navi Mumbai. It wasn’t that crowded. I heard people comment that the cars on display last year were better and more in quantity this time. The Ford Mustang GT was the pick of the lot with it’s ROARING sound attracting alot of crowd. Car No. 2 had to be pushed a few times by people to start. Each of those cars were flagged off with people clapping and cheering for them. Not much crowd really cause it was a Sunday morning and people were not there. I can say it was sort of dull in terms of crowd pulling” – Vivek Manjarekar.
