Autofest City was Launched early in 1996 with very modest beginnings. Little did we think at that time, that the City would grow in such proportions, that it would receive such acclaim and find itself a place in the cyberspace by the turn of the century! When friends started visiting our collection and admiring it, we seriously thought of recording their invaluable comments in a well documented form. The Autofest City Guest Book thus came to being. On 19th March, 2000, one of our Special Patron - Mr. Abbas S. Vagh, President of Rotary Mysore (1999 - 2000) and Managing Director of The Decorative Laminates (India) Private Limited, Mysore, India, Inaugurated the this valuable piece of history - the Autofest City Guest Book. Since then, every guest has signed the guest book and has been very kind to praise the collection. Reproduced below are a few of the messages which left a strong imprint of affection, long after the guests were gone. Please send us your Comments which we will try to add to our guest book.
