Sharat,

This is the mother of all write ups. Deep Respect.

I'm really really hoping you are dropping down for TPC 2010. As our guest atleast.

Thanks Bala, but not this time. I will be there someday, hopefully as a participant.

Could not have been better described. So I get EXAMM and AKC experience without leaving the comfort of a/c and on a lazy Sunday noon.

I guess this was probably the time when Gogi’s Jeep was almost drowning near point B. I have roughly marked that point as GP or Gogi Point.

So I decided to walk to point F to help the Green Gypsy driver. Around the same time Siddu and Venkat had driven up in Viji’s Jeep towards point F and were having their own issues. Robinson’s Jeep was ready to leave point E, but I told him to wait until we get some handle on point F situation.....

After walking from F to G point, we had identified the safe path. So we got the green gypsy to cross and since the driver was a newbie, Siddu decided to hop on with him to guide him rest of the way.
By this time the green Gypsy was here and he was having problem climbing the hill. He complained about not getting any power in 1 low. I suggested doing a launch (clutch dump) since the traction was very good there, he tried that and then took off.


Concluded.

Sharat!!...

It was me in the green Gypsy... You were a great help!

But the river crossing was the best experience!...
I think I crossed it when it was at the peak of its fury

Thanks Sudev, your comment makes it worthwhile.

Yes, you did it when it was really bad. The rain had just stopped, and water level was at the peak.

If I recall correctly, you cleared the first obstacle without any help, a very few managed that.

The above pic is amazing. That slush looks like hot chocolate : yummy !!!
I am curious to know the shutter speed that was used, and also if it was shot in single-shot or multiple-frames continuous shoot.

No, it is a single shot in high shutter speed.

yummy chocolate again !!!

the first pic is perfect , the second one probably needed a higher shutter speed or maybe should have been clicked a fraction-of-a-second earlier...the water has already splashed away into very tiny droplets (watery chocolate ).

Nice shot Samurai. keep it coming.

Dear all - yesterday I was cleaning my cupboard at home and found two very rare photographs of my CJ340 "Invader" MH01P2540, which I used in numerous Great Escapes. The desert is of Mandawa 2002, the water crossing is of North Goa. The crossing was done in high speed specifically to click this photograph, although I hated to do it as I do not like water crossing. I think this is the correct thread to post the photographs. Enjoy!

Best regards,

Behram Dhabhar

Dear DB Sir,

Is it the same vehicle design that was offered by M&M as "design your own jeep" Quad ? Two door hatch looks neat.

AFAIK, this was a one off DC design hideous prototype.

This is considering,we haven't seen either mfg company or private folks cover up their short chassis. How many 340s or 3Bs have you seen with hardtops? Except those seen on firestation jeeps and maybe on CJ3B webpage.
