It was a pleasure meeting you all. Thank you all.

The convoy part, well, left me confused at times. Got to admit my mistakes as well, will improve with time. I enjoyed driving in the convoy.

I met the team at Mysore for Breakfast at Lalitha Mahal Palace. I could not interact with everyone though. It was nice to see many BHPians together and good line up of cars. I will definitely come for the next meet .

Just one pic from my side :

Re: Team-BHP Meet @ Ooty : 15th-16th July, 2017

This was a drive to commemorate the fourth anniversary of a drive that set wheels rolling for the drives that have followed since.

A rolling stone gathers no moss, but these drives have rolled on to gather an incredible bunch of T-bhpians with a propensity to stir up each and every drive into a memorable one.

Take a bow, overKnighters.

As is wont, the indefatigable anniversary celebrants reported to the flag off point well in advance.

Newbie to the drive Mr Bean discovered, amongst so many other things, that it is punctuality that kick starts the drive. He caught up with us

at the regroup point on ORR, Mysore.
