Drive to Pondicherry Meet EDIT: Now Mahabs Meet

esteem_lover · 27th February 2008, 15:43

Its been ages since we chennai team-bhpians went for a drive, the last i remember was the drive to mahabs, way back in Sept 2007 ?

Please build on this idea.
The tentative POA
1. Meet at ECR around 7.00-8.00 am.
2. Breakfast enroute
3. Reach Pondy by 12.00

Activities at Pondy
1. Sand offroading
2. Chilling off
please add more............

either stay the night & start early the next day or leave by 5.00 pm & reach home by 8.00 pm...

Tentatively the 15th/16th March weekend is proposed.

How does that sound ?

P.S. Bangy boys are also most welcome

A good idea, John. I am in for this. I guess Sunday (as opposed to Sat) would be the choice for most people.
Should we have a poll up here ? Options being :
1. 15th Sat - single day meet
2. 15th Sat - overnight at Pondy meet.
3. 16th Sun - single day meet
4. 16th Sun - overnight at Pondy meet - this option could be a problem with everyone having to get to work the next day.

And we need not have all the cars for the drive - could car pool.

Since 15-16 is more than 2 weeks away, should be enough time for people to plan their participation.

Would be great if is a one day meet.Would love to come though in my all new i10.

VMG · 27th February 2008, 17:13

One day ( saturday ) will be fine for me. Can we have it in Mahablipuram instead of Pondy?

headers · 27th February 2008, 17:42

Looks good..will try to make it Mahabs or pondy doesnt matter ..there s plenty of sand enroute : LOL

nitrous · 27th February 2008, 18:34

Good plan.
I have an addition to the proposal.
Lets have a Team-BHP karting "championship" at kart-attack which is on the way.
What say??

Nice idea. But doing both karting and drive to Pondy might be too much for a day. So, it could only be either of these. I am OK with both.

Also, need to check in advance whether the karting track is open that day - we went once only to find them closed.

n_aditya · 27th February 2008, 19:59

Not in town during the weekend of Mar 15th/16th.

If it happens after the above date, then count me in. In any case, have loads of fun guys. cheers:

headers · 28th February 2008, 07:29

guys.. lets freeze on the dates to have more guys in! And like SB said..karting and a trip may not work out due to the delays in time frame..lets do 1 at a time. I'm Ok with either!

headers · 28th February 2008, 07:56

hi again..The F1 starts weekend March 16 - Australia and March 23 is Malaysia..so we need a different date..John - Organiser..

Well.. make it Kart attack+Mahabs. Then it can be covered in 1 day. Let's have it saturday since there's F1 on sunday.

esteem_lover · 28th February 2008, 09:38

I am excited that 3 new faces have expressed their willingness to be a part of this drive. So we will have a mahabs drive then.

neoranjit · 28th February 2008, 10:12

yeah. Saturday seems to be better. Sunday is Race Day.

madan80 · 28th February 2008, 10:49

what say - if we meet on sat early afternoon (say about 11)- drive to mahabs- have lunch and chill.. on the way back stop at Kart attack - have our championships - and head home by 8 or so.. this way - we get the sundays to do family hungama and the Mrs wont mind an "afternoon" away!

(cant belive i am posting this! )
