Re: Mahindra 'Live Young, Live Free' Offroad Drive. Chennai on 28th June 2014 Hi Arka
Was a memorable and well organised event by the Terra Tigers !
Some points that were noteworthy
1. The group's internal briefing was extrmely pro !
2. The terrain threw many surprises as it was constantly changing on the drive !! - Nice selection of the location. However, it would have been nice if there was slush as well.
3. At EOD, I could list out the modifications that had to be done on the Bolero so that I can tackle future obstacles without denting the sump !!
4. Unlimited TATA Gluco+ kept us hydrated throughout the day ! Also, the cleanliness followed by the tigers commands a huge applause.
5. Scrumpious and neatly packed lunch.
6. My navigator (i'm not sure what the technical name is) Mr.Arun did a splendid job of guiding me through the obstacles and also in teaching me a couple of tricks like when to hit the accelerator in a "wham-wham-wham" pattern and also the trick of maintaing momentum to avoid getting stuck!!
After landing on my crank case even before approaching the OTR site, I lost all confidence and was hesistant in participating. But the way you winched me out and your team's quick check as to whether the bolero was road worthy or not helped me gain confidence in the whole event !
Whenever the next event is, do count me and the bolero in !! |
