Whens the next??? Hey guys,
Firstly let me thank you for a day lovely spent. Well aint good at reporting, never did when i used to be employed. However I guess the day’s goings on from my view (being the GOM i.e., the grand old man of the lot) is what I would like to give now. A word of caution, I am Myopic.
It was around 12:00pm that I got a bit free and decided to ditch all my work and join up the meet. Called Sreenivass, for details, and just about that time I got a call from Kutlee stating they were at KFC and could wait if I was joining up. The guys were patient enough to wait for another half an hour or more for me to reach the spot. Thanks for that to you guys.
We had a small round of hello hi's and then began our drive towards the dhabha at Shamirpet. Just as the drive began to get interesting our pal shiva's Palio was caught jumping a Red Light and his keys were taken away by the military police (this happened in a military area). It was a nice sight to see all the 8 cars stopping by the side of the road and 8 BHPians (7 actually got across, cos by the time I sauntered along the problem was dealt with) walking across the road to ensure that the keys were handed back to the righful owner. Guess since the meet was more on less begun with a legal influence it had to end with one and thats were I came into the picture, but thats for later on.
We then continued to drive on to our rendezvous at shamirpet, led by nosfreak in his M800, man, the best person to have in your party is a DJ and he played the part to the hilt.
Missing a turn into the dhabha few of the BHPians overshot it and went on towards shamirpet lake, was just wondering then whether they went over to take a peek at the village belles frollicking around the lake (not that its what I do when I go that side)
Finally settling down, I guess the first question that was asked is how many of you all drink and which do you prefer? The answer was a pleasant surprise. Everyone with the exception of Kutlee (he does but not during the day), was ready to induldge and the majority went in for Vodka. Yours faithfully stuck to my whisky, soda and water. Music, as mentioned earlier was provided by our friendly neighborhood DJ nosfreak with all the heads bobbing to the music. Did someone say foot tapping? I couldn’t feel my feet after all those drinks. Well it was nearly 3 pm when kutlee did justifiably feel hungry and lunch was served. The food was excellent and all of us did gorge on the food. Thus was satiated another need.
Car talk (plenty of it – some Greek, latin and the likes to me), booze (that’s a language I understand), music (thank god the hip hop played weren’t filled with too much of expletives, or where they? Who knows), and of course the food these were the satiated needs.
Its just then our naveenkk and katalyst decided they’d burn some rubber and the trips on the cars began. Each of the persons who wanted to ride did ride the others car to the extent that it could go. The only ride that I could get to sit in (other than mine) was naveenkk’s S10 yellow palio, which had earlier loomed large into my rear view mirror (like in the movie ‘Duel’ by Spielberg). Guess the rest of them wanted to keep their cars lighter on the runs. Really enjoyed the way the 1.6 engine reacts when floored. Sweet are the sounds of a well tuned car, FFE or not. Did not get to ride in katalyst’s Lancer but sure did get a chance to ogle at it.
The rides and BHPians present for the forenoon session were as follows:
nosfreak: In a ICEd M800
naveen.kk: in his ICE’d and stunning Palio S10
kutlee: in his gleaming Golden OHC 1.5 (he did scare a cow which can you believe it jumped of the road in fear cos of the proximity with which it was passed, wonder if it had a heart attack?)
katalyst: in his cool blue Lancer
zappo: in his lovely Indica
kkrk2k: in his smart Indica only he needs to remove his front seat and drive from the rear, man is he tall
shiva: (hey I forgot your handle) in his Red Palio along with his friend
suren181: In my Santro
Well at this moment it seems that report is seriously taking too much of space and not being a man with words I shall request someone else to either take over from here for the post lunch session or shall do it if no one else does
Ahem!!! it does get even more interesting in the evening, when mobike008 and furioussphinx joined up and especially after kkrk2k’s Banana Tequila hit our throats… So guys keep watching this space…
Suren
