Nice meet. More so, because we did a good drive instead of just downing booze at some watering hole.

I am not attempting a report - will leave it to someone else. Will just post some snaps.

1. We recruited a new tbhp member at Mahabalipuram - seen here with ajo.

2. What we had for lunch.

3. Manek's new acquisition - an RD350. Looked brand new. Nice bike.

4. ajo, islero, aditya, john and manek discussing some Esteem stuff.

5. nitrous does not seem to be happy about the menu, while supremeBaleno looks on.

6. nitrous, ranjit, bottle, aditya, ajo and islero at the table

7. ajo, islero, 16v100hp and his 2 friends who dropped in for the meet with him (hope those guys were not bored)

8. A view of the sea off East Coast Road, at the viewing point.

9. My Baleno all washed and ready for the tbhp drive/meet.

It was nice food at The Moonrakers restaurant. They even had ayurvedic massage listed on the menu. We had squid fry, full fish fry, beef steak, beef pepper fry and other stuff. Really nice food. Came to 235 per person for the food.

The beer was a letdown though as they did not have the official beer of tbhp (KingFisher)

- Sandpiper beer is well, nothing much to talk about.

Aditya was mentioning something about you visiting Chennai. When is that ? Maybe we could plan our next meet around that.
