Nice one though.

Sorry for the improper punctuation and paragraphing, was my first attempt and I just had went on typing. Didn't even proof read it. Hopefully I do get it better with time!

Once Again..Another morning, too much of excitement, too much of a pre meet sleepless night stress and whole lot of fun. As decided we all met with a big bang at Palm Beach, with their cars creating an excitement among the passerby's & the other local's as to what this is all about, because its for sure that we have cars which are absolutely head turner's.So those few who arrived late, Jignesh's Sidewinder was ready in full glory to be snapped by the lense's & then all quickly gathered at a spot where Ravi had to showcase his KICKER'd Palio. After Ravi left, the actual fun started with Jeetu & Nitroxx along with Jiggy (going easy on the car) taking a good start, but with Micky actually pushing his baby with the new clutch (which he was possibly suppose to be running in). Great fun and some fast moves till Expressway Food Plaza. After the grub we hit the roads again with great excitement in everyone as to what would be next? that's when Micky decided to add some more fun.He was just driving very calm when from a distance he spot's a tempting curve (i am talking about the curve's at the ghat's) and i get all set because i knew what was lying in store for other's behind us. We approach the curve at 120kms & bang, the car just stick's to the road but our great boy still twiches the rear & off she goes getting applaud's from everyone.We reach lonavala by the time we do all this & once again some cool down zone for the cars. 5 mins and we are off towards Amby Valley where we cath up with our fellow Team-Bhpians, i just remember Kiran seing there & a few member's whom i know by their faces..Sorry friends, will be more cautious next time, but here some fun & a disaster was waiting. We start off in a convoy after the toll collection till the Dam, after which at Swapnil's request Micky gets ready for some sideways on his baby. But even before we could start to think about the fun, we could only manage 2 sideway stunts as at the exit of the 3rd corner lied a small piece of a evil rock who managed to put a stop to all our fun. Phhffff. There sit's Micky's car crying at the side of the road with he being equally frustated not because of the car going flat, but for the amount of time the new set of tyres being there on his car..But he still showed a good spirit and yet gave a thought about not spoiling the show. (Owe you 1 bro).Also a big thank to our In-House mechanic Prakash Dalwani who helped us getting Micky's car parked at a safe place & carrying all the passengers to Amby..But while all this was happening we were joined by Club Burnoutz from Pune who got two Honda City's with good body kit & sweet looking rim's. So finally we all reach Amby Valley where a drag was planned which due to certain circumstances could not happen.Once again a photo shoot with all the member's and their cars was done, we all proceeded towards Sunny's Dhaba as by now everybody was hungry for sure..At the Dhaba it was a complete different Story, Some member's were having lunch while some enjoying the hooka's, while a few member's enjoying some drinks. After the lunch we all had a R/C session where for the first time Swapnil agreed that he liked the Subaru WRX followed by the last set of photograps and a exit Video from the Dhaba.Now this was the time where Swapnil still wanted to enjoy his famous piece of stretch on the ghat’s which he managed to, but everything was interrupted cause of a stupid piece of plastic hitting the rubber creating smoke which got him terrified after a few shouts from the vehicles passing by. But it was really funny cause those people were like the tyre’s are smoking…Ha Ha Ha...Huuhhhh. Long day awesome meet & yet some more energy in our member's to have a last drag at Kharghar between Santosh's Wagon-R & dan's Ford Ikon.Brave Boy Santosh could manage to keep up with the Ikon keeping Dan guessing????But then its the Ikon who took over..But before all this could happen,Mahesh decides to try some donuts on his Merc..In all great team-spirit & too much of fun. Hoping to see such meets happen again

Cheers,
Niki

Annihilator and Nikibusa - Guys, Guys Guys!! It is almost impossible to read your posts.

Honestly, I'm zoning out in the first few lines itself. Please don't feel bad, I know you are excited but it is nearly impossible to read these posts, they look like one long sentence!

Please use the enter key more often.

And these are nice videos and stories, glad to see you boys enjoyed yourselves.

Holy cow thse are some amazing rides ,you mumbai guys are lucky.
The reports are good too.
Just a few questions from a noob :-
.I googled blazed and came to know that its another club so is it allowed to post about other clubs here ?
.I thought T BHP didnt support any illegal drags but here it is mentioned that you guys dragged so was this a legal event ?

Streetdisciple,
- I dont think i was aware that it was a blazed meet as well, up untill the meet report where blaze was first mentioned!
- You are right. Team-BHP does not condone or encourage street racing and the video has been removed accordingly. (There is only so much control we have over what members do offline!).

Very late with my comments...but WHAT A GREAT DRIVE!!!

Didnt think it would turn out to be such a large gathering. I think we were finally 8 cars from Pune and around 11 - 14 cars from Mumbai.

Had a nice solo drive back to Mumbai in the afternoon, but the fun of driving as part of a oack is unmatched.

Looking for a lot more drives in the future.

@ Dan: Was that 195 ou hit on a flat stretch or downhill? My car maxed out at between 175 and 180 on a flat stretch.

Suhail

balenopower · 2nd November 2007, 14:53

@swale - The 195 he hit was by drafting behind the sidewinder and being pushed by nitrox from behind..Thts the only way i think a STOCK ikon can hit a 195kmph..

btw dan wasnt weariing his glasses when he was driving so pls forgive him for messing up the numbers...hahahaha
