Wow. This will be amazing. I vividly remember that first drive 5 years ago. That is still one of the best drives ever!
Eagerly looking forward to this.
However, unfortunately my wife can't make it for this drive, so changing my entry to single.

Good day gentlemen,
I'd love to be a part of it but I have my sister visiting from the US. So I do hope it would not be out of place for me to drive up on the 23rd morning, join you folks for breakfast/lunch and drive back later in the day.
I am from Coimbatore, btw.
Look forward to meeting up with all of you.
Best,
Krish

Welcome.
You mean 22nd morning.
graaja, copied here, is also from CBE and you'll could drive back together.
Since morning is free and easy, the group would mostly be scattered about town/hotel.
Hence, joining us for lunch for be ideal.
Cheers
Back after missing the drives for almost a year, but this time with a new companion! stupid:
