Last, I heard SpeedZak is not coming for this 777 meet. He is very much in love with 7s and wants to do some serious things on some 7s.

Yes, he was talking about some meet and other good stuff but this time he looks very much into something else. He was also talking about holes etc.. Does it have anything to do with 7?

I'm serious guys! He has been staring into his phone with some jealous eyes and tears were rolling down his cheeks and all. So, guys! He's going to miss this one for sure!

xinome · 5th July 2007, 13:55

hello sir when coming back to home town. holidays not finished yet.

karthik247 · 5th July 2007, 14:25

@Xinome'
What!! U wanna go to Ponmudi and stay there??!! I mean there is NOTHING in that place, and the only good thing about goin there is the drive (thats if the roads are good)

Dude, make the plan clear.

nikhilv12 · 5th July 2007, 14:57

Ok guys the plan is,

1) XINOME is leaving to ponmudi on saturday mornin, will reach there, hopefuly by saturday evening. planning to spend that evening, counting the no: of imaginary bolts that fell off his vehicle, during his supersonic drive from tvm all the way upto ponmudi. After such a tyring work, and hundreds of missing virtual bolts, he sleeps in his car, as there is no place to spend a night in ponmudi.

Next day when he wakes up at 12pm ( hopefuly ) and decides to head back home. after reaching tvm, he calls some other bhpians and tells them how wonderful and awesome his trip was. The drifts he did on the hairpin bends were better that those shown in tokyo drift. Then he concludes the conversation by saying " Phew!!!! it was one hell of a trip, enjoyed it to the core, sad that u didnt come, ok then i am too tired, call you later, bye"

2) OTHER BHPians

IT IS GOING TO BE A ONE DAY MEET ONLY, and we are certainly not going to ponmudi. The place is yet to be decided, it would be helpful if any body has any sugessions, the place should be well within 100 kms ( if at all we are going for a drive ) from tvm which will make it convinient for every body, and also so that more people can turn up and have some nice time...

Went there last monday. And would like to add a few points. I went via aruvikkara and came back via nedumangad.

The ROADS are a dream come true. Till nedumangad, the roads are good. But, from there, the roads are marvellous. Well paved, with no potholes, and wonderful wonderful twists, with almost no traffic (except for the occasional bus/lorry)

Couldnt find any hotel/restaurant there. Entry to dam was Rs 15. Dont know about Safari.

Anyways, my votes for Kovalam/neyyar dam. NOT interested in ponmudi drive though. (My poor car would be killed)

EDIT: Safari is till 5pm for something, right?

karthik247 · 5th July 2007, 21:29

If the roads are good as crazydriver said, lets go to Neyyar Dam.

Kovalam.....sigh!! Not again!

xinome · 5th July 2007, 21:35

neyyar dam it is

and everybody please do carry atleast 50 bucks in their pockets car owners petrol fuel can be shared if needed
