| NIOC OTR November 1, 2009- Detailed Report "Yaar, Uday Bhan Singh is a legend in vintage cars" "So that means you're giving your Land cruiser to him for restoration?" "No! Not yet, but he's mentioned that there's an OTR happening on Nov1, organised by NIOC. Chaley Kya?" "Chal" This is how it started for my friend and me being attendees to our first ever OTR, this one organized by mods of NIOC for November 1,2009. The bug of "Jeeping" had hit us a while back with my friend even purchasing a FJ 55, but how much worse it has got after attending the OTR, only time will tell Communication via a few PM's with Willy's MB, confirmed our passive participation for the OTR. What lay ahead of us completely blew us away November 1,2009 @ 06:30 am, approaching Signature towers. " pakka hain naa aaj ka programme" "Yaar, PM main to confirm kiya tha, ab pata nahin" "Chal, ab aa gayey hain aur koi nahin aaya, tow hum hi ghoom aayenge." "Lol" "Pechaangey kaisey?" "Woh dekh ek jeep gayee" and that was the start of it all We followed the jeep (Trax Gurkha) to the "Kuchha raasta" right next to signature towers. Heads turned as the Land cruiser approached but they turned each time a fellow jeeper came. The attendees to the event along with Randeep's much awaited ..... ( Randeep - haven't thought of a name yet for her?)   Mahindra MHwak 4*4- Courtesy Mr. Sudhir Kashyp   Pleasantries were exchanged and by 06:50 everyone (11 and a half jeeps) was on their way to the OTR site....... EDIT - The above pictures are borrowed from a fellow jeeper Last edited by married2speed : 3rd November 2009 at 00:20. |

| We arrived soon at the designated rendezvous point near village Kherki Dhaula, situated close to the NH8. After ensuring that everyone had arrived and also clarifying that the Land Cruiser was not equipped to handle the terrain without the 4*4, it was agreed upon to park the FJ 55 near the starting point of the trail. Everyone started and we followed into the unknown. So paranoid were we, that we even decided to let all the other jeeps go, fearing that we might get stuck but Amit (I guess) was the one who encouraged us to get in and this is what we encountered as our very first step  and then this as the dust and speed picked up. Couldn't drive, couldn't shoot and was hanging onto dear life  Finally, managed to heave a sigh of relief as we managed to spot the getaway as the dust settled. We weren't lost and the baby steps were in the right direction. How did the getaway perform with the not so short wheelbase and the overhang and the side wall cut and almost no spare tyre - that's another story  Soon after the FJ 55 was parked and the ascend began  and voilla, here we are at the top - Oops! what's the hurdle  |
