it was a great meet as usual. as for me, it included:
1. great people
2. the CRV surprize - trying to push me off the Chingrighata Flyover - or was it drafting behind me?
3. lovely drive
4. an awsome photographer with an awsome camera
5. good food.
6. Road Rage
7. Raging ETC
8. Harry da Puttar's adventure (watched Harry Potter)
i reached a bit late as usual - thanks to ETC again. the drive to Nicco Park was quite good. while i was approaching Nicco Park, i saw a new Black CRV in the RVM and i thought of letting him pass, but to my surprise he was right on my tail - i knew something was fishy about the CRV - at one point it pulled away and i saw two smiling faces in the car @ adhiraj and razor. the CRV was indeed a surprize.
i met the members who were there already. Rudra da is a hard-core bong - he still has his roots stuck here in Calcutta.
the members who made it to the meet:
adhiraj, BlackPearl, wimwian, shuvc, shuvd, planet_rocker with ETC, tathagata with wifey, asitkde, abirnaha, rajarshi (BP's friend), neil law, babhishek, razor4077 and Rudra da.
the cars:
my Padmini, tathagata & asitkde's Wagon Rs, shuvc & BP's Balenos, babhishek & wimwian's Swifts, neil law's Scorpio 4x4??, razor4077's CRV, Rajarshi's Esteem.
soon after we met, we went straight an empty stretch near Delhi Public School (this is usually the place where the Kolkata Rally Gang gather). the photoshoot was awsome.
wimwian & babhishek's Swifts:
Rajarshi's Esteem (Rajarshi is not a team BHP member yet)
the Baleno Bros (shuvc & BlackPearl)
razor's CRV & neil law's Scorpio
my 1st Love (ETC knows about this)
did i tell you about the fun the Balenos had? it all started with shuvc trying out BP's Baleno - the loud exhaust note was awsome (damn! i miss something) and soon shuvc, shuvd, wimwian, BP, adhiraj tried out the two Balenos - what were you guys upto? shuvc's Baleno's F1s - will soon be used as couches?? at his place - well Yokos are coming to Kolkata naa...
i will let the pics do the talking:

Khana-Pina:
after we finished our lunch we headed home. on my way back:
Road Rage:
i overtook a dhikchakboomboomdhikchak wala new red santro (with 4 guys inside) and i guess thats what tempted them to pull my leg. i led them pass. they overtook me and after sometime led me pass and again overtook me almost brushing my car's RHS. i slowed down but they were continuously nagging - at one point there was a bus in the middle lane (EM ByPass) and i was behind the bus - the santro was on the right lane way behind me. so i thought of overtaking the bus - but as soon as i tried to shift to the right lane this santro speeds up and brushed in car's RHS rear wheel arch. i felt the mild bump - but she was absolutely steady. the santro on the other hand almost lost control and slowed down. soon it pulled away from me and later showed up out of nowhere and started shouting and apparently said something to me. before i could do anything it took a turn and speed away.
Raging ETC
ETC was really mad at this - she insisted that we should give a written complaint with the local Police Station. so we went to the local PS and she did the talking as to what happened. the ASI came out with me - inspected the damage (oh i forgot paint peeled off the wheel arch and has a small dent). the ASI took down the number of the Santro and my car, took down my address and my name. they filed a complaint on the grounds of rash driving and something MCL??
what could be the reason for this - either they thought that a 19yr old fiat cannot overtake a new santro or else they tried to showoff their driving skills to ETC.
IMO it was both.
Harry da Puttar (Harry Potter) was really good - a must watch for all of you guys!
