More Pics from the 14th March OTR at Manesar.

Here are more pictures from the OTR on 14th. This was the first time I was on an offroad trip with this group -- and I must say this group rocks! I'm glad I took part and met some really nice people (most of whom I've already read about), and not to mention check out some awesome 4x4s.
The trail was also very interesting - some steep climbs, steep descents, some sandy sections, plenty of bramble and mud tufts. The parts I liked best - the near vertical descent into that pond, the climb back up from the "bowl", the part where the BMW X5 and Endy lifted their wheels -- and most of all the "Flying Laxman".
Oh, and as for my Scorp - I'm in love with her all over again. She's definitely got some Jeep genes still in her. Not once did she hesitate at any hurdle. And I have a souvenir from the OTR: a bent side step, thanks to a hidden rock.
I'll let the pictures do the talking now.
Cheers,
(Pics follow)

Pictures (Second set). I will post the links to the videos taken by Subbu in a couple of days, once they are edited. Anyone else have any videos?
Cheers,

Great Pics Roshun!!!
Nice to have met you buddy.
I specifically like the one which has the 550's front tyres in the air. Laxman's Jeep. Can you mail me this pic or PM me the picasa link.
Thanks

Roshun · 16th March 2009, 08:49

Hi Harjeev,
Great meeting you too finally. Sent you 2 high res pics.
Randeep, the b/w pics of the Ford GPW & Willys MB really lend them character. They look straight out of a WWII movie.
Cheers,

Hi Everyone,

Roshun, Nice pics man. Laxman Sir's jeep flying is just awesome.

More pics from my side. Many more to go.

Cheers !!!!

Awesome trip. Lovely people, great time, new friends, what an experience. Here are a few pics that I took with my little Canon Ixus camera whenever there was the time.

Cheers! Shahid

Randeep/ Roshun,

Great fun you guys had at Manesar, very much evident from pictures.

@Amit: Aman wan't there this time, therefore no shots of Safari.. We really missed both of you this time.

@Roshun: I have video of you coming down that steep fall and then doing 1-2-cha-cha-cha. What was the speed of blood in your vains at that time.

@Biker- Hats off to our biker buddy (sorry I missed your name), you were no where behind, in fact ahead at most places.

I will soon upload many videos, but for now keep the pictures rolling guys..

Hi Shahid,

Thanks for the compliment for NIOC. NIOC is indeed great bunch of guys.

I hope we meet in the next OTR. I had to skip this one.

Like I said go with the flow, you will have a ball of a time.

@ Rashun, Buddy great to see the scorpio performing so well. I also have a Scorpio but a 2x4. Infact me and my bro were discussing about changing it to 4x4 in the next year and then using it for OTRs. As of now I drive a MM540 for the OTRs.

This group is very addictive and lively. You get reminded of you college days. Great bunch of guys haveing fun togather.

Roshun - good you joined the group! NIOC are true 4x4 enthusiasts with good felllowship for brother offroaders.
