Chennai Roadies

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. A Honda City nicely modified into a 2-door convertible… 2. Auto displays “Invalid Carriage”-whatever that means… Same auto had an unusual transmission: Gear lever as in bigger vehicles…

3. Another auto suffers due to “Operator Overloading”.. lifts itself up while negotiating a slightly uphill ride…

4. Uprooted? A cycle found abandoned upside down with a wheel missing
5. Off-roading? Clicked few months ago when I was teaching car driving to a friend on the outskirts of Chenai city- we found an Alto that fell into the pit…

7. Keys for grabs:
Spotted while I was walking to office: A Fast Track call taxi driver had gone somewhere leaving the keys for grabs at the door…For a moment I evaluated my prospect of driving to office that day, but later continued to walk…

8. 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.

9. Someone's getting down in style...

10. 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
11. 2 B.E or Not to B.E?
12. Lock on... (read more about this here)
