A S H V I N and Nikki together is going to organise a massive birthday treat. I've already got lots of ideas for the same.

Okie, is this going to be something like Hydra's outrageous bachelor party??

(P.SI don't think hydra even thought about this! lol!)

I saw this 41 42 43 swifting through the highway & he pointed the fingers towards the front & i nodded & then he disappeared. Later got a call asking where am I.

I was on the way for a college get together & I missed this one too.

hmm makkalleee athinulla vellam irakki vecheeru!

Well, a very quick and totally unexpected meet that was. Pizzas were very tasty as usual and enjoyed every bite.

Ashvin's budday celeb made it more exciting for the other folks sitting there! I could see many ppl wondering when they heard the Pizza guys shouting Ashvin's age.... Guess they all were expecting something like 42 seeing his body language and structure!!! he he he!! Infact he is only 24!!

This meet really forced my head and brain really work to the extreme to fugure out faded memories bout Hydra's friend Joseph! he heee Joseph was my next door guy long back. It was NICE meeting you after a looooong time Joseph! Guess you've already joined tbhp!

I really believe Less drives and more sleeps brought back the real senses of Zak! Guys, he started coming on-time to the meets! Cheers 'Captain'

Many more wishes Asvin. You made the time more and more lighter by cracking usual kinda jokes and stuffs! he he heee continue!

Thanks macha Hydra! So when is the ICE install and further mods??! Waiting waiting for that round of pizzas!! Also, Remember the handling test is still pending!

Infact we wanted to test the 'wet grip' of Hydras 16"inchers! Weather was also condusive y'day! But we dropped the idea considering the 'running-in' of the car!!

Pinne pidicholaam mone dineshaa!

Hydra, Zak, You know I might just drive down! A S H V I N, my friend, belated Birthday wishes to you. I missed the thread, sorry. Looks like a nice time you guys had there. Waiting for the next one.

The meet has begun. All the ingredients are well here other than the Landmaster and it's master.
We've seen the car going around in circles time and again around the hotel.

Artofzen was here just before he left back to UK.

jkdas · 13th July 2008, 20:30

Sorry cant come as the venue is tad far my my house and hence cant reach in time

Steeroid · 13th July 2008, 21:00

Heading there now. Sorry guys, we had some unexpected visitors at home.

drpullockaran · 14th July 2008, 00:12

I shall post the photos of the meet and someone else can fill inthe Juicy bits.
I got an sms at 18:19 from Ashvin and Zak inquiring whther I would be game for a meet at Travancore court. The meet was in honour of a car THE Landmaster into which Sterroid breathed life by spending an unheard of sum for restoration the details of which Sterroid will post in another thread or as a continuation of another thread in the Vintage car section. Well I landed up at Travancore asking for the Landmaster room because at that time I was oblivious of the fact about the Landmaster being a ressurected car. The staff was dumbfounded because they had no such room in the premises but the moment I mentioned a bald bull(My star sign is the bull by the way but not a patch in size to Ashvin) and a bearded mullah they directed to me to the restaurant. The crowd was there and all were waiting for the guest of honor which came a good 2 hours late. After dinner we went to inspect the car which gave me nostalgic memories of our Morris Minor and Amby Mark 2 which we had eons ago. Rest will be filled in by others. Majority of the photgraphs were taken without flash so as not to disturb the others who had come to dine so please forgive the grainy pictures with camera shake added in and in camera compression to comply with the site regulations.

JayD · 14th July 2008, 00:28
