Smartphone users and mobile phone users will be more than pleased to know that the newly redesigned WheelsBD website is fully compatible with most of the world's renowned smartphones. If you are a person who is always on the go, this is a very handy feature which will keep you close to the WheelsBD community no matter where you go. Compatibility means the complete website (forum, gallery and homepage) is always accessible if you use a common smartphone.

Users in the Nokia platforms may find that the mobile theme doesn't open as default, so our suggestion is for you to change to the mobile theme everytime you use the cellphone. Since Windows Phones, Android, iPhones and Blackberry's are the most widely used smartphones, we could only enable the full compatibility with those smartphones. Many users may find themselves accessing the mobile theme as default even if their smartphones are not supported. The mobile theme is less data-intensive, meaning if you are on a data plan, you are in good hands since the site loads up fast using minimal data. If you are on Wi-Fi, well then you are in the best hands.

All iOS users (anyone who uses the iPod touch, iPhone, iPad) are the luckiest bunch, since you have a dedicated App which is available in the App Store. This will enable you to enjoy lots of extra functions. Anyways, enough of blabbering. Lets see some screenshots.

Locate the IP. Board App from the Apple App Store (3rd option):


Once the app is installed, press the IPB app:


This should be the loading screen for the new app:


Click on the "+" button, then you can enter all your login credentials:


Once you are logged in, the WheelsBD site will be saved in the IPB app on your iOS device:

More options:

Basically that sums up some of the key features most of the mobile users can enjoy within WheelsBD.com. Don't forget that the default mobile theme should be accessible through your smartphone. You do not need to have an iPhone to use the mobile theme. Most major smartphones will automatically recognize the mobile theme of WheelsBD.com.

We hope you will enjoy these new features just as much as we do!

Yes brothers neither I'm high nor I'm joking, its a truth. Currently its in the Mongla port of Khulna. We just saw an actual footage of this beast. I felt as if my jaw was jumping on the floor!



Its a RR GHOST. The video is taken from Bangladesh not Calcutta, that I can tell as in that video I noticed a 100 Corolla which was never sold in Calcutta.
So, let us know if you have anymore informations about this top-notch import and feel free to leave your comments.

Heard from quite a few sources that a BMW X6M has landed in Dhaka. Not sure about the price or color or owner, but just know that the SUV is now in Dhaka.

WheelsBD.com?
Let's hear it from the members first!

WheelsBD is one of the most innovative Bangladeshi websites that always brings surprises to the automotive scene in our country. It's the place where you would want to be simply because of the community of car enthusiasts who share the same passion for automotives.

During its downtime, we missed the gallery and the discussion forum mostly because we had no solid infrastructure to post/share our contents on. The automotive scene was left in the gravels with no such interests on cars being potrayed in the streets of Dhaka/Chittagong etc.

Honestly, it's been a tough round. WheelsBD.com is not only a website, it's this network through every street. One second something happens, a new car flies by, and every other person in that network was notified about it. People had this site set on their homepage and what not, because come to think of it, it serves better than the media when it comes to automotive news! People spent half their online activity here!

Finally, this is what gave us all hope

I had the same reaction, around seven months back, while facing the fact WheelsBD.com has been shut down - speechless. Now, that is back on, I'm deprived of words again! It was a shame that we lost such a valuable entity, but now that it's back, we are more than thrilled to enjoy every minute of our stay at WheelsBD.com.

Thursday, 25th march, 1971. Just an another ordinary day passed for Mr. Rafiq. He returned home from a long day of work. His children Raju(8) & Raisa(9) welcomed him with a big precious smile. Even the toddler, the one-year-old Rahat had a smile on his face. Then, Saleha quickly informed him that the dinner was served on the table and asked him to join in. After the dinning session they all went to bed for a good night sleep. Just after a short span of time they all went to bed, severe gunshots were heard. It felt as if the Devils were down on earth and galloping for blood, as if the Earth was being torn into tiny burnt pieces. They didn't have the slightest idea of what to do and where to go. All they knew was that they must run for life and they did. Mr. Rafiq took Raju, and the mother took Raisa. And they left the place hurriedly. After an hour something stuck them and made them rock-still.

Oh my God, we have left Rhahat, he shouted desperately! And Saleha with the children started crying as if someone was dying. No way it was feasible for them to return and take him back, doing that they would totally risk four valuable lives.

Back in 2005/2006 which I hardly recall properly, I saw something on television that extremely surprised me. The toddler survived! He was looking for his parents and siblings. Just a failed attempt though. A person deprived of education, basic amenities of a livelihood. He couldn't afford a healthy childhood or a joyous adulthood. All he had in his life was utter loneliness. This is not how it was supposed to be. All he has is just a heart more like an empty piece of hollow shell.

Doesn't stories like this make us saddened? Doesn't stories like this make us think deep about what happened in the way back? It does, it definitely does. Yesterday when I decided to present an article for you guys, I got determined to share this very true story just to break the ice. I really don't think I need to say anything more to describe how dreadful that very night was. A night where parents lost their children, a night where children lost their parents. It was the most BARBARIC NIGHT of all the nights. And there are many unfortunate incidents like this behind our hard earned INDEPENDENCE.

WheelsBD.com is making a grand comeback on the 26th of March, 2011 to reunite all car fanatics of Bangladesh in the most complete and comprehensive automotive website.

After a falling out with the previous regime of crew members in WheelsBD Automobile Club Ltd., WheelsBD.com was temporarily shutdown. But after 7 months of downtime, the online crew members of WheelsBD.com finally listened to thousands of members and hundreds of emails to bring back WheelsBD.com.

To make things even better, the refreshed crew members decided to bring in new moderators and administrators to lead the website in a unique direction. WheelsBD.com will be redesigned to accommodate a fresh new beginning. As of now, almost all databases and contents have been successfully restored.
