Guys I had requested 2 Service centres to keep open on Sunday.I had expected everyone would wash their vehicles after the OTR. Finally it turned out that only 2 vehicles washed immediately. Allan's and mine.
We do a lot of sand driving here ,but has never created such a problem if we wash the vehicle after the drive. Salt causes better electrical conduction and hastens rusting.
In fact ROCK is preparing a sand track, a long one ( 1.5 km)with deep,deeper and deepest patches..
ROCK(RAIGAD OFF-ROADING CLUB KONKAN) shall again organize a mega event inviting the Mumbai-Pune group. This time we shall invite you for a sand blast folllowed by a DJ nite...on the beach..tents,juice,food,this time fried fish will also be included

Which brings back another funny moment from last weekend.

Mohan's post had clearly specified NON VEG dinner. So when dinner turned up there was only NON VEG. The looks on the faces of the veggie brigade (Paras, Keyur, Devang (go figure!)) was a sight to behold as the only thing edible they saw was the cucumber and tomato slices on the 'garden' salad.

Just as they were being convinced that eating the chicken curry minus the chicken would not make them sinners, the hotel guys conjured up some kadhi and some sabzi, but not before protesting that Mohan 'sir' had only specified NON-VEG

BTW does an octopus or squid qualify as a 8x8 drive?

Very soon two regular spectators from our usual OTR gang will be joining the 4WD club. One is considering a Gypsy and the other a CJ3B. Won't spill the beans till you guys buy it.
Congrats!

I can imagine the specs on Viper's Gypsy:

-B16 Turbocharged Honda Engine
-Free Flow
-K&N
-Iridium Sparks
-ECM brakes
-Strut bars
- Lowered?! and stiffened
-Etc...
