Inspired by your drive, it's finally time to resurface!!

Bangalore peeps, Here's a (not so) quick meet plan.

If you want to go for a quick drive, have Lunch with like minded folks, have photo-ops at a (kinda) secluded road - you wouldn't be disappointed.

Oh wait! That's not all!!
What if we also took a closer look and possibly test drove the Kia Sonet exclusively?
Sounds like a plan? Interested? Read on..

Sorry, clarifying 'not decided' means don't know which car I'm bringing. I'm am coming.

Spoilt for choice .
Looking forward to catching up.
Cheers

Not really. Did a DIY ceramic coating on my Swift which shouldn't be exposed to water for 7 days, that's really the dilemma I face.

See you on Sunday.

Essentially a dipstick test to check out post Covid enthusiasm for such get2gethers.

Assuming this was a breakfast drive. Is there a limitation on numbers of guests there at a time. Would it be a disappointment if we drive up and see it crowded or so? Any thoughts? Any chance of any local crowd would stop if we drive through in a group?
