Kolkata Meet (Report and Pics Updated)

@suman - lovely pics!

shuvd has the same "mammoth" bass tube in his OCTY as well.

the 1100D's 1100d is a real beauty -> his "whos baby i am."

3. the rides (semi off road photo shoot) - i wonder who came up with the idea:

Isn't this a real great defining picture of our whole meet.

This would be my wallpaper for a few days.

anyway looking at Shuvd'S SUB I just figured maybe one day the cops would have caught him driing under booze, he would have simply directed them to the boot and said its not me but the car that runs on booze and thats the tank, want some?!

@suman @shuvd @shuvc and @razor waiting for your comments on the 1100d's gallery. Cos thats the place where our old 1100d would easily look upto for motivation to keep running on and on the way she does now.

planet_rocker · 11th January 2007, 14:35

How about another quickie meet before 1100D leaves town?

@1100D - even you are confused as to when you are supposed to leave.

we will keep it within city limits this time.

i would suggest:

date: 14.01.2007 (sunday)

time: 11.30am (as usual)

place: in front of Nicco Park

lunch: 1. any hang out joint @city centre. (enough parking space)
2. Mishra's (veg + NV + booz)
3. Haveli (only veg)

what say?

@ shuvc / 1100D - did you guys go together for the verna / cedia test drive?

Not yet .. murphy's laws are acting up. Non-availability of driver/car etc.

Is 1100D going next week ? If not let's postpone a bit. Am tied up this weekend.

planet_rocker · 11th January 2007, 16:08

@shuvc - even he is not sure...i will get in touch with him and update later. i dont have any problems as of now....

take care.

shuvc · 15th January 2007, 19:09

Yipee ! Finally downloaded the snaps. Most of them are repetitive, hence am posting 3 which have not been posted before.

An Elantra sunset

Raid-de-Rajarhat

EDIT : Btw, for those who are not conversant with Kolkata - that's not the Rajarhat Expressway - that's a construction area alongside it.

planet_rocker · 15th January 2007, 23:25

@shuvc - love the pics! specially the second one... the 1100d followed by the elantra... simply great.

thanks a ton.

Amazing pics... and nice photos. Missed you all guys... My trip was all screwed up... but then thats for another day.

From the look of the pics, it seems like you were driving somewhere around New Town Action Area-II, right? Those construction pics in the background in one of the pics looks suspiciously like the sunrise point towers...

I really do not know... my clients will faint if I tell them I am planning a trip back again so soon

Maybe I will just shift bag, baggage and all... as soon as I find the right break in Kolkata, that is... haa haaa haaaa

planet_rocker · 4th February 2007, 01:11

@guys - i heard that Rudra Sen will be in town pretty soon...may be next to next week...how about we plan for another meet?

lemme know what you guys think!

@rudra da - please let us know as to exactly when you will be here and which day would be suitable.

lemme know what you guys think.

1100D · 5th February 2007, 00:36

I just saw the Shuvc pics today. Oh my god the secong pic looks like a 1100d running for dear life as the Elantra is coming to devour it in one peice at 20 kmph!!, yes it was that slow although the pics suggest a Raid-de-something

When do we meet next? What new do we do apart from eating and chatting.

shuvd · 5th February 2007, 19:19

Hi all! I am always game for meets.
@ planet - let me know the time and the venue
@ 1100d - this time need to have some daru...my reputation is taking a beating with these "dry" meets
Hope this time around we'll have a better turnout than the last one.
