Be specific as u are famous for doing various things at night.

He meant, he has done it in...the drive I mean.

I (and many at TBHP) can vouch for this. I remember him driving down to me TBHPians who came for my marriage.

Hehe

.

I have done Vytila (Cochin) to my home (Kowdiar, Tvm) in 2 hrs 31 mins, which includes a 10 minute tea/smoke stop at Kollam Rly Stn Jn (usual stopping place). Was alone driving RedFire, started from Vytila at 10.45 pm, reached my car porch at 1.16am. The starting time is not that good normally for fast drive, but that particular day traffic was very less.

On the way back from Monsoon Drive, did Kottayam-TVM in 2 hrs 20 mins in peak hours. After lunch from Vembanadu hotel, Kottayam, started at 3.10pm and reachd CCD, Kowdiar, TVM at 5.30pm. As JK said, MC road from Kottarakkara to TVM is good now and can be done fast at non peak hours.

Anyday between 12midnight and 6am... 2.30hrs is very much easily do-able.. Only TVM Kollam seems to take a while, after that all the places get pretty much quickly covered.

The easiest way to get to EKM fast without goin flat out would be to get on the Jan Shatabdi train and u'll be there in 3hrs flat

Horrified to see this thread going into 4 pages. Now somebody is going to try even make it in 1 hr to prove a point. This is insane. For heaven sake try to get a racing track to prove the driving skills, not a 2 lane narrow congested roads. Mods, i fee this thread should be removed

DRAGSTER · 5th July 2008, 12:07
