Guys,

Though morning would be nice for some other place under a shade, St.Th.Mt would not be the ideal place to settle up during the morning!

Plan 001 posted as POA was looking great!

WHY? - because the view form St.Thomas MT. will be great in the night, let's see St.Thomas Mt. during the day in a monsoon season, not now please, trust me.

ALL day with C-Bhpians would be a real treat, but guys we need prior permission[married men], so lets keep that for a drive day! not tomorrow please!

Why not plan for a all C-BHPians Family meet/drive some times?
What say guys?

Nice,
Lets plan this ahead for the next time, when we drive some place, and not a typical meet where we all get to talk about Cars!

Where are the other annas? Only headers is doing the talking?

No pics yet from the meet. Too bad.

supremeBaleno · 7th April 2008, 09:22

Here come the pics.

1. The classy Jeep that Shivam drove down to the WDI restaurant.

2. The youngest Chennai tbhp-ian trying his hand at the Jeep.

3. manek gives the go-ahead for the party to start.

4. tbhp-ians settle down with cool mugs of KF - the king of good times.

5. The 'big screen' with Harsha Bhogle's mug on it. The bar was initally having the TV muted with some unrelated music playing. We made them kill the music and bring on the roar of the engines.

6. nickatnite must be having quite some snaps from the meet. Waiting for them.

7. nitrous and manek arguing about some trivia.

8. The action on TV

9. nitrous enjoying his non-alcoholic drink.

10. nitrous looks pissed-off that he was not given the treasurer job this time around - since John took that up.

Had taken more snaps (the initial lot), but they got screwed up due to me taking them in some wrong setting (I was experimenting with the cam some days ago and left it in those settings).

supremeBaleno · 7th April 2008, 10:00

Also missed taking snaps of the guys sitting on my side - Nothing2Looz, arka, MillionSwords etc. Hopefully nickatnite would have snaps since he was sitting opposite us.

I am sorry guys for meeting this meet, I had to go out of station for some urgent work, did not have access to internet so could not post here beforehand, but I did send a SMS to John, hope he received it.

I see that you guys had a great time and will join the next time the meet happens.

Man, I am looking almost negligible in the group snap. Note to self : In group snaps in the future, never stand near nitrous.

EDIT : OK, I think the post did not turn out the way I expected it to. Was thinking my comments would come along with the snaps they refer to. Anyway...

Nice pics SB and Ajo. Its time we get to see F1 live. Lets plan something on that.

manek mentioned something about some good deals for the S'pore F1 - would be nice to have a separate thread for that.

Also, do we already have a thread for the next Yelagiri drive ? If not, we should start one. Not sure how feasible it is for Blore guys to drive down into TN currently due to the Hogenakkal row, but atleast we could do it.

One suggestion from arka was to drive down in the evening on a Saturday, stay at some resort for the night and drive back on Sunday.
