| The way it is rainning now, if it rains the same way tomorrow, we are going to have tons of fun. Prior to every OTR i don't know what happens to my sleep, never able to sleep till 3 or 4 in the morning and have to get up in couple of hours. Again the sleep will be full of Dreams with Jeeps & Gypsy's. Quote:
Rain Gods, please ensure this rains tomorrow  . | |

We are all meeting outside Ramakrishna at 9:00am. You'll see my Red Jeep... It's unmistakable (attaching a couple of pics for your benefit). If you guys want, we can show you some good trails which your cars will be able to do without damages. Regards, Tejas @Ravi: go to sleep! Last edited by Tejas@perioimpl : 29th August 2010 at 00:34.

the Mitsubishi event was organised by the Pune dealer 'J Williams' at Della and was a soft event meant for the families, around 15 vehicles with 4 Pajeros and rest outlanders this was my first offroad event, all vehicles were obviously pure stock and were pretty able, infact other then the camera crew tavera, ours was the only outlander to get stuck, it sat on its belly on some rocks, but it was more of a driver's miscalculation then the vehicle inability, the second problem we faced was in the same water crossing where the tavera got stuck, we went in a little fast and with the huge water splash the airfilter got completely soaked in water and the vehicle started spluttering, the mechanics then removed the airfilter and no problem thereafter overall as my first experience if was good fun While I am pondering on the right 4x4 vehicle to acquire, I intend to participate next week with Kunal and team and get a better handle on the subject posting couple of pictures, have some videos clips too but not sure how to upload, someone please guide me | |

| Distinguished - BHPian | Hey Anupam, Unfortunately we couldn't meet up. You'' did the same terrain that is on the way towards rajmachi. We too had an eventful OTR (people on FB know about it due to the live update!)  Details in this thread: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/4x4-ex...again-how.html EDIT: Sorry Shibu, forgot to mention your name! That pic is fabulous!

and yes you are right, this indeed is the Rajmachi trail!! the camera crew tavera driver under-estimated the water current, lost traction midway and started drifting in the water, thanks to the big rock boulder which held the tavera till the JCB excavator arrived to rescue, the occupants along with thier equipment were rescued with difficulty. big thanks to the organisers as they had quite a few spotters and crew members on dirt bikes all around alongwith mecanics in the trekker, one tractor and one JCB excavator, and believe me, they for sure came handy at some place or the other, our outlander itself used the service of the tractor to pull us out at it had belly landed on a big rock and then the mechanics to diagonose the spluttering fault to water soaked air-filter since most of the drivers were novice for such terrains and had only limited understanding of the technicalities involved, the threat of any untowardly happening was never imagined, as we assumed it to be more of a 5 star experience I realised that for such events it is mandatory to carry hi-lift jack, CB radio (even bsnl mobile didn't work), lot of rope, and offcourse other spares, also I am realising that the 12v digital tyre inflator is a must to have but all said and done, I think I am getting hooked to this highly technical sport  Last edited by Anupam : 30th August 2010 at 14:29.

while going to Rajmachi from Della, this water level was ok but the return was a different story altogether during the return the water level had increased and during our passing the water splash drenched the airfilter bringing it to to a spluttering halt, rescued by mechanics later Last edited by Anupam : 30th August 2010 at 22:13.
