Vinay FMI

Hello

I am a co-founder and moderator on MadWhips.com

I have liked fast low wide sensational sports cars since I can remember.  The first exotic I ever spotted was when I was 5 years old - a white Lotus Espirit. 

I get a Huge MASSIVE kick to spot nice cars on the streets.  I'm quite proud of the fact that I can identify many cars in milliseconds even from a distance, and have pretty finely tuned "car radar".  I have always wanted to share my photos with other like-minded car nuts who also appreciate nice cars as much.   MadWhips lets me do that.

I like fast powerful mid-engined cars. I like light weight fast mid-engined cars.  My interests are diverse. Besides a Mad obsession with fast cars, I am fascinated with fast bikes, fast planes, and fast spaceships.  I think automatics belong on wrists and the Ariel Atom would make a stellar daily driver.

Some of my photos:

MadWhips Lamborghini DiabloMurcielago Roadster Melrose AvenueFerrari F355Yellow Carrera GT

 

 

I am currently rolling with a satisfactorily fast 320 horsepower.  However, my absolute minimum horsepower needs these days is 400, but I think 500 is a more practical figure.

Some cool cars I have driven recently:

Just saw the new E550 parked next to me at my condo when I left for work this morining. The guy is a product marketing rep for BMW and I have seen him have a GLK, 2009 750i, X5, he drives a white 335i daily driver and today he had that E550. I took a whack of picks. IT IS ABSOLUTELY SEXY!!!!!!!! DAMN

avatar mgray100 9:17pm Saturday July 25, 2009
 
Haha, I meant the 1st set, but don't worry, its not a biggy!
 
avatar mgray100 9:03pm Saturday July 25, 2009
 
Hi Vinay. I see that you changed the album cover for http://www.madwhips.com/1st-spot-of-lotus-europa/. I have just uploaded a second set of pics that now starts with this new cover. Could you please delete the first set? (I'd have to agree with your new choice of album cover).
 
avatar SuperCar 9:07am Saturday July 25, 2009
 
ive emailed the photo's to you, although i dont email very often so im not sure it will work. Im off for the nite. Cheers, Jack
 
avatar SuperCar 8:37am Saturday July 25, 2009
 
And, could you please delete the other albums that didnt work? Ta, jack
 
avatar SuperCar 8:36am Saturday July 25, 2009
 
ohk, yep it hasn't worked the second time. I'll try it one more time without any special characters, and hopefully that will work. None of the photo's are over 2MB each, so thats not the problem. If you could give me your email, that would be great. Cheers, Jack.
 
avatar mgray100 5:50am Monday July 20, 2009
 
Cheers for updating the STi album.

Hi Vinay, Just checking out your new Black F430 album - quick question - what car are you driving whilst taking the photos? A C6 'Vette? I need an HUD! Unfortunately Peugeot overlooked that capability on my '94 106 Rallye hehe

hey vinay, sorry for the inconvenince but could you please delete the duplicates from my ablum http://www.madwhips.com/cars-spotted-during-my-holiday-in-noosa-qld/. cheers, jack.
 
avatar SuperCar 5:05am Friday July 03, 2009
 
actually dont worry vinay, im pretty sure it was the photos but it doesnt really matter they werent very good photos anyway. But could you please let me know your email address, and also could you please delete the 2 empty albums. Cheers, jack.
 
avatar SuperCar 5:58am Thursday July 02, 2009
 
is there something wrong with the uploading at the moment? cos i tried to upload an album 2 times and it wasnt working. It uploaded the photo's but then there was nothing there when i went to choose the album cover.

avatar mgray100 6:04am Saturday June 13, 2009
 
Hi Vinay, Australia was unique in that it received pretty much whatever Japan had on offer EVO-wise from the start... Would you be able to create a new category for the EVO VI, and place album http://www.madwhips.com/mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-vi/ in it? Thank you!
 
avatar rojci 9:10am Tuesday June 09, 2009
 
Thanks, and we see more. With our new car!

Thanks for creating MG as a category Vinay.
 
avatar mgray100 10:46pm Friday June 05, 2009
 

Hi Vinay. Would you be able to create a category for MG and put this album in it: www.madwhips.com/mg-rv8/ That would be great!

G'day Vinay. Could you please review the current Ford Falcon categories. At present it is broken into two: 1. First generation (1960–1966) & 2. Second Generation (1966 - 1972). This arrangement looks based on the North American Falcon that according to Wikipedia was built from 1960-1970. The bulk of submissions so far however have been Australian Falcons. To muddy the waters further, there was also an Argentinean Falcon. What about one category for all Ford Falcons??? Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Falcon Thank you!
 
avatar mgray100 9:43am Thursday May 28, 2009
 
Hi Vinay, I was happy to contribute & agree that the more accurate the better.
 
avatar mgray100 11:15pm Tuesday May 26, 2009
 
Hey Vinay, I'm being a pedant here, but it may be worth changing the '600 Pullman' category to just '600', because no album featured here is of the long-wheelbased 'Pullman', but of the the short-wheelbased models. Also, the range is generally known as 600, and then within that range one could purchase a standard SWB, LWB 'Pullman', and lastly a part convertible top 'Landaulet'. Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes_600. Thank you!
 
avatar mgray100 9:53pm Tuesday May 19, 2009
 
Thanks for the album update.

Hi Vinay, I'm just trying to sort out some of my Bentley albums. I've updated album http://www.madwhips.com/bentley-continental-gt-on-polished-wheels/ with some new pics & was wondering if you could please delete the 1st 4 old pics with the car in the full sun. Thanks.

Now I know why the Lotus was such a vivid memory from your childhood!!!

If you could remove that lower cased tag that would be great! Cheers.
 
avatar mgray100 3:26am Monday May 11, 2009
 
Is it possible to delete tags? (the first one I tried, I stuffed up).
 
avatar mgray100 4:23am Thursday May 07, 2009
 
Thanks for the updates Vinay.

Hey Vinay, would you be able to make a folder under Renault for the 'Spider' and put this Album in it http://www.madwhips.com/renault-sport-spider/ Thank you!

Vinay, I see you are in Hong Kong. How is it there? I haven't been there in years and was wondering how you like it there!

Vinay, would you be able to make a entry for 'Escort' in the Ford listings for: http://www.madwhips.com/ford-escort-rs-cosworth/ As there are quite a few hot Escorts here, I think I may also be using the category again in the not too distant future. Cheers, mgray100

Hey Vinay, hows it going? I've spotted the CLK black series again in UofT and I was surprise to see that it was a student driving it. Most likely that he is from Florida and he drove his car up here to go to school... amazing!

Hi vinay!!! Ur taking really beautiful photos of dubai cars and canada cars.Keep it up!!!
 
avatar laialy_q8 7:34am Sunday December 14, 2008
 
Vinay your taking very bad photos.I do not like your spotted photos.Why are you taking people photos beside a car.
 
avatar Ahmad 6:40am Friday December 05, 2008
 
hey where are my cars pics
 
avatar Brisco 5:32pm Wednesday November 26, 2008
 
haha that's exactly my thought too. The panamera is weirdly proportioned, too fat on the rear. The front looks good though, the Corona LEDS on the fog and the hood design. Interior is very nice too, the center is lifted up which resembles the CGT. Like you said, it's not really a competition to other sedan/coupes out there. I'd definitely pick the CLS63 AMG over this any day. Aston Martin Rapide and Lamborghini Estoque production version will definitely be a better car than the Panamera.
 
avatar gmg905 7:47am Wednesday November 26, 2008
 
Hi vinay,Ur taking really nice photos of dubai & canada cars.Orange lamborghini murcielago LP640 is really beautiful and i watched 4 videos was really nice.The engine sound of LP640 is really amazing!!! The one of my favourite car is: LP640 and many more.Keep taking more new photos of dubai cars!!!
 
avatar Brisco 11:03pm Monday November 24, 2008
 
oh I see. I actually didn't see the comment until you've just told me hehe hey, did you se the new porsche panamera? what do you think of it?
 
avatar Brisco 6:30am Tuesday November 18, 2008
 
wow, what a rip. But it's fact that those cars use up a lot of gas. I'm glad it's only a rental. I heard the Camaro will have good MPG, probably the best out of any petrol American cars now-a-days. Definitely a car to look forward to. The crisis is affecting so many car companies, i.e. even BMW. BMW cancels the CSL and even the production version of the Concept CS which would be the flagship of BMW. Enthusiast like me are disappointed and angry but it's the only way the company would survive. Expect more boring cars on the way and fewer supercars...
 
avatar Brisco 6:15am Tuesday November 18, 2008
 
agreed. The interior will always be bulky and filled with plastic, as with all american cars. The new mustang shows more design than previous ones and the rear is so much better than the rear on the previous generation. This could be a real competitor for the new camaro, if prices are similar. The Camaro starts at 23k, how much do you think the new mustang, base model, would cost?
 
avatar Brisco 5:59am Tuesday November 18, 2008
 
By the way Vinay, have you seen the new 2010 Mustang that was officially released couple hours ago? It's a great improvement.
 
avatar Brisco 5:52am Tuesday November 18, 2008
 
you are too! hehe. Got test coming up and doing all nighters, just taking a break on madwhips.
 
avatar Brisco 3:03am Tuesday November 18, 2008
 
That is true. I guess the CLK black series could be a GT car after all. But the ultimate GT car for me would be the ferrari 612 and the rolls royce phantom drophead. I would drive around the world in those cars anyday...
 
avatar Brisco 6:32am Friday November 14, 2008
 
There seems to be a lot of cars from Florida here. Remember the bentley GTC i spotted in Markham? I've also spotted other cars like a porsche cayenne turbo and that black series. I guess people from Florida likes to go on road trips with their fast cars, but I can't think why someone would choose a black series to go on a road trip. It's far from being a GT car and from what I heard, it's a very hard and stiff ride.
