aurite lets start from the beginning!
everything was perfect till 11.00pm last nite, when suddenly @1100D called and said that his "whose baby I am!" met with an accident (a truck hit the rear quarter panel of his 1100D) and that he was very depressed and that he would decide whether he will be joining us tomorrow or not. i was too a bit depressed because i wont have the car which i like -> the 1100D.
woke up late in the morning and went to the garage to get my car. cleaned it up and headed back home. in the mean time 1100D called up and said that he will be joining. then after picking up my girl (read my gf, Indrani) and headed styraight for the place where we were supposed to meet. on the way my car (Premier Padmini) had a flat tyre and had to change it. the result was pretty simple i reached late by almost one hour.
The Meet:
everyone was waiting for me. i could see the line up of cars in front of me. Indrajit RC's Baleno, my friend's (Shuvabrata) Skoda Octavia Rider, razor's Santro Xing, shuvc's Baleno and 1100D's Ford Ikon.
loved the k&n in the xing. i was like "wow" when i saw the "mammoth" JBL bass tube in the boot of the skoda.
then as per plan we decided to go for a drive around rajarhat.
The Drive:
as we moved on i saw the two balenos and the xing passing me like a jet.
now the best part as i floored my baby around 80KPH i saw the ikon almost kissing my car's rear bumper. i knew something was fishy about this. then as i picked my speed the ikon started pushing me from behind. i could feel that he @1100d was trying to "push me away off his way".
then it had to happen:-
there was a turn and my car was doing 100KPH (with 1100d right on my tail)... i took the turn at full speed and car started fish tailing for a second and started spinning (a small one though - thanks to my cross plys)...with the ikon almost hitting my rear left door and the skoda almost hitting the ikon from its back.
well everyone and everything was fine after that. i thought lets just keep the speed under control and drove with a decent speed. and then all of a sudden all of the cars disappeared in front of me. we were supposed to go through the entire rajarhat stretch and then take VIP road and head for Tangra. i couldnt see them any longer and took a wrong turn and again took the rajarhat by mistake and rejoined them on the EM ByPass (the guys waiting for me as usual - thanks a lot for that).
Lunch:
we went to a restaurant @tangra called Village Woks. the food was pretty good. the boozers included Razor, my friend Shuvabrata and me. the most important part was that the food was cheap and yummy. the members included 1100d, his wifey, razor, shuvc, indrajitr, my friend, my girl and me. oh! i forgot about the sweeetest member - 1100d's 11month old baby daughter (mercedes as he prefers to call her)
Time to say goodbye:
then we headed home and the party ended.
Summary:
1. i reached late.
2. my car's 90` spin.
3. lovely rides
4. mammoth JBL bass tube in the skoda's boot.
5. good food.
6. nice meet.
it was an awsome experience meeting up all of the guys.
i guess i will have to post the pics tomorrow because its no point uploading the pics using a 56kbps modem.
