Wow..!! Good stuff!
Another one missed!
Sen.., how did you manage to Bump your Bumper...??

mohan · 14th December 2009, 20:22

@Rahul -First Gurkha lessons taken from you and improving upon steadily..the improvement means a better understanding of the vehicle and its capacities...
initially I used to be limited by my own capacities not the vehicle's.
@ Sen: You could email me the videos ,I have tools to compress the videos.
@Altohoncho: Though I am a Puneite,my another house being at Baner,I have never got my vehicle serviced at Kasarwadi,though I plan to get it one day at the company for some nagging problems.

It was after completing one esepcially difficult stretch of slush followed by climb. While Allan and Mohan was busy assisting Tejas in clearing it, I decided to look ahead. I should have done so on foot, but I tried with the car. Bang, I fall into a deep rut and bang my nose in to its wall!

The video files are too large to mail. If possible, could you please suggest some tools to do it, so that I can give it a try at my end.

I use a Mac and its easy for me to import any movie in iMovies and resize it.
The "windows" equivalent is the "windows moviemaker application" which you can download. Editing movie clips with this application is easy.

Ah! another similiarity between us besides the Gurkha! We love our machines

Hey nice OTR you folks had there with a small gang. There are many +ve's with off-roading with a small gang as you get to know each other quite well and spend time together.

@Tejas: Good to see your first off-roading pictures/experiences.

Maybe you should enlarge this picture and put it up in your clinic. Your patients would love it and have some new found respect for you :-)

mohan · 17th December 2009, 10:43

Sen dada where are your videos?

sen2009 · 17th December 2009, 10:50

Safari follows the above two and crosses the same Rut

I also have a file showing the Mud - Incline drive of the Classic. But, I am not being to upload it to youtube - guess it's too large. I'll try to upload again and post the link as and when that gets accomplished.

Tejas@perioimpl · 17th December 2009, 23:00
