CHEAPEST SUPER CARS on INDIAN Roads

1. 

   
   
   Given the condition of most Indian roads, it would be foolish to even think about driving a million dollar car here. To add to it, most of us can't even dream about buying such uber-expensive cars in our lifetimes. However, there are certain luxury cars in the Indian market that we can hope to own later on in life.
   
   While these might not be the absolute pinnacle of engineering perfection, they're certainly affordable luxury cars to aspire for!

   
   

   
   
   Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 
   
   

   

   
   2.2L Pure
   2179cc, Manual, Diesel, 10.0 - 14.0 kmpl

   Jaguar XF (Rs. 48,37,000 /92851.64 $)
   
   Nothing spells class better than showing up in this executive luxury car. While its top-of-the-line version costs about Rs. 75,00,000, the base model is considerably cheaper.
   This car packs a 3.0 litre, AJ-V6 diesel motor that can power this car to a top speed of 248 kmh.

   
    Audi TT Coupe 
    
   3.2 quattro S tronic
   3189cc, Automatic, Petrol, 7.8 - 9.5 kmpl

   BMW 5 Series 530d (Rs. 48,50,000 /92858.64$)
   
   
   Nothing says you've arrived like driving around in the lap of one of the best cars that German engineering has to offer. The 5 Series is the second best-selling BMW model after the ever-popular 3 Series.
   
   Along with a host of standard features, the 5 series also comes with a 3.0L 180kW 6 cylinder in-line engine under its beautiful body.

How To Convert a SIM to a MicroSIM

Everything I describe below applies to the iPad, iPad 2 and iPhone.

This morning, my shiny new iPad 3G 64Gb arrived from the USA! The only problem was, it had an AT&T MicroSIM and as yet there is no such thing in the INDIA.

So what’s the solution? Get a chopping board, a meat cleaver and a pair of scissors – simples!




Above is a picture of the SIM cards – as you can see, they vary a lot, but the only parts that matter to us are the contacts which are common to the MicroSIM and SIM. Electronically, the SIM and MicroSIM are the same so we can cut the rest away and not worry (so long as we are careful).




To begin with, line up the three contact on the MicroSIM with the same ones on the SIM card. You can just look for the 2 centre lines and make sure they are in line and that the top of the MicroSIM is straight. Then get your meat cleaver and press down gently to score a straight line.




Cut along the score line carefully. Once you have done this, line the top of the SIM with the MicroSIM and you should see that the contacts are aligned.




Turn the SIM & MicroSIM round 180 degrees, line up the bottom and repeat with the meat cleaver, then cut along the score line once again.




The SIM should now be the same height as the MicroSIM – we are halfway there!
Line up the centre of the MicroSIM with the SIM so that we can be sure it will be aligned within the iPad



Repeat the process with the meat cleaver and scissors, then you should have a SIM which is almost the right size, save for the top edge and corner.

Once again, repeat the process with the meat cleaver and scissors, then you should have a SIM which is the same size apart from the corner.



Cut off the corner of the SIM card – you can just use the meat cleaver for this if it is nice & sharp.



Your SIM card is almost ready to go in to your iPad. As you can see, the AT&T MicroSIM has slightly rounded corners.
Use your meat cleaver to take off the tiniest of amounts. Remember, you can take more off, but you can’t put it back on.



Your SIM should now fit in your iPad MicroSIM tray.



Gently insert it in to your iPad 3G.
