Thanks for the kind words Anoop ! Effort recognized gives a good feeling .Well I didn't wanted that dumper to get in our beautiful trail and trouble us with blolcked road , dust etc , so pulled up a side to make sure all of us cross before it enters the narrow road and yeah boy he had to stop when the BEAST was obstructing his way out

Wow!! Fantastic trip there.

I am loving every pic and word written about the trip. Sadly I could not make it this time.

The panoramic pics of the cars and their owners are simply too good. @Noopster, @jealousdiamond, @Captainji,...thanks everyone to post the pics for the benefit of us, who missed the fun.

Will try and make it to the next one whenever it is planned.

Cheers Pune BHPians!!!

sob, sob!!! I had to miss the meet, hope I can make it to the next!!!

Congratulations on a great meet guys! God to know you all had a gala time.

....The curses I'm showering on myself are too abusive to post here, I'll be banned forever. All I did on the weekend was drive around in the Mumbai traffic from one end to the other. And here I see what you guys did...This is not rock salt in injury. Its molten lava / magma into injury...Kudos to you guys and more curses to myself!!!

I hope you guys have already planned something for the future? I really pray the Mahabaleshwar visit will work out...

Waiting for more pictures from all of you...

This sure was one of the most memorable meet we all had.

After the tedious planning, shortlisting destinations, and then finalising the location and lunch place, we did make this a succesfull event. Kudos to all.

Thanks to all for coming out in such a large number, and a special thanks to all the "+1"s for accompaning us all petroheads on a Sunday morning. Your enthusiasm makes us do this more often.

A special thanks to SCPhanse, for coming only to meet us at Chandni Chowk and seeing us all. Commemdable!

MDSaab: The detour taken to Mahbi, albiet a long one, must surely have been worth it i assume! Thanls for the lovely gesture of driving half way to Lavasa only to meet us all. Very commendable!

Abhijeet (Dot): Very well said indeed, we met as BHPians and left as friends!

Noopster, subodh, bumblebeast: Though you guys missed some lovely lunch, we were glad to did turn up for the drive despite of prior commitments.

As captian suggested, the next meet/drive can be a longer one, say Mahabaleshwar, which can either be a one day trip or even an overnight one (family included for the peace and harmony is everyone's household ).

Date can be finalised, as this month end being financial year end, most of the "Binness" folks will be busy with closing of accounts et al.

So people, let the enthusiasm not die and start planning for another one!

P.S: All the snaps are total drool maal!

P.P.S: Lovely compilation by everyone. Dedication to the fullest!

I am in for the next meet, and with something for you all to treat upon if everything goes as planned.

Waiting for that this year too

[gautamkhadse]

A few pics from my camera . Forgive me if the pics are not good . It was my first time using a SLR . A few more trips like this and I should get to learn a lot from pros like anvancy and Captain .

Thanks everyone for turning up . Next time we'll all try and be a lil early and hopefully be at a place which is not as hot as it was in Lavasa yesterday .

The heat got to me I guess , wasnt feeling too well after coming home . Maverick sir, your company at the dhaba was a real please also Amit sir !

Look forward to meeting you all again , very soon .

Jealousdiamond : You've got me all excited about the Leh trip .

Picture22 : Was really cute the way the skoda was parked .It looked as if the car was peeping from between the walls

PIcture23 : The security dog (read the beast ) was scary , but it came and begged me and said "I too want to be a part of T-BHP " I denied politely saying "only horse power allowed , no dog power " he he !
