| @JSL: Yes, the bumpers and footboard are a limitation. I have got Michelins, which I believe did "better" than the HT that Sandeep was having. But then, I cannot comment on how worthy they are as of now. Regardless of anything, I had the time of my life! Getting back to the events: With all the running around by Khan, we had enough and took out the Safari's to test the waters, so to speak. For the veterans, this is as silly as it can get, but for a newbie - wow! First steps! Quickly followed by Sandeep: The second run was a charm (experience, you might say!!! LOL!)  Finally (finally) we get down to the real deal: RedBulls first real OTR run: |

| With the initial fear addressed, Khan and StarAqua decided to take us to the next level. We drove further into the plantations. At one spot, with lot of slush, Sandeep's Safari got stuck, temporarily.  While all were trying to get the vehicle out, I sneaked aside to take some photos.   We finally reached a spot where the veterans decided it was turn the Safari's lose. The spotting and evaluation of the place.   The participants:  EDIT: Quote:

| It was fun from then on: Sandeep takes the first step, rather, fall!!! Followed closely by me: We were then given the freedom to just drive around: This is where my clutching and wrong driving caused all this circus. IF I had listened to what was told in the first place, I would have just climbed and proceeded, the portion which is not shown above. Few more runs or crawl around, it was time to make way for Sandeep; going back. Sandeep doing the rounds: RedBull doing the climb: So, that was done and we decided to head back to do some slush drive, but, infortunately, it was dry. So, photo shoot began and then RTB.   Rudra trying to figure out how to correct the mess for a good shoot.  Jaggu and Rudra did their thing, while we did ours:  And to wrap up, I leave you to the man who gave us all those beautiful snaps, at work:      While we enjoyed some good music from StarAqua's mobile/radio/TV.  The End. |
