Monsoon DRIVE - Kochi

benbsb29 · 16th June 2008, 14:49

I guess i kinda understood the part about the Bolero with flashy lights and Johnny Walker taking a walk down drain lane.

What happened to Ram's Verna?

xinome · 16th June 2008, 14:56

All here, and watching the thread for videos, pictures and stories to appear. Great DRIVE, and so much fun meeting all the guys.

And thank you for your *awesome* company Xinome. cheers:

Ok guys - out with the story (only the 'shareable' parts)!

This ain't fair! :-(

Too much of suspense! (Sam's influence, I guess!)

suman · 16th June 2008, 15:55

Wow, sounds like you guys had a "meat" & beyond!

Sorry to see those pics of Mansidea's Scorpio, I think too many people have been giving "nazar" of late, ever since he put his pics up on the Scorpio thread.

Good luck getting your Scorp back in shape mate!

Nice meet and well organised too, with some great pics.
Only sad part is about mansidea's Scorp - easily the best Scorp I have ever seen (on road or on tbhp).

No big deal man - could happen to anyone. In a big group, it is tough to keep count of the pegs and so lots more chances of people boozing beyond their normal intake.

I was also thinking of the same thing. Maybe it has something to do with too many people (including me) admiring that Scorp. Manoj, maybe you should hang one of those "Buri nazar waale, tera mooh kaala" board with the hideous mug that you see behind trucks in India.

OK here is one Group shot in real low res jpeg.

If there are any hiccups I will repost/amend.

CaliforniaKnight · 16th June 2008, 16:12

The sad part is everybody the same night was praising MANSIDEA for his scorpio for it being maintained so well with the new bumpers and the bonnet with the vent.I did like those satriani tracks that were blasting in his car too; however hours later disaster struck.

I am also guilty of having placed my nazar on that Scorp.

How about a 'Sound OK Horn' to go along with the lemon?

The handycam of mine was not put to use for this drive, and this is the only video from my car - Picasa Web Albums - Romin - Monsoon D.R.I...

Only a for a few seconds, but better than not posting any at all, right?

For the rest of the videos, if I ever figure out how to stitch together all the small clips taken from all the myriad devices in the 3 cars, will upload that to google videos. But, that will be a long time in the making, as I don't think it is easy to join the videos as they might be in different formats/resolutions etc.

There sure are hiccups not because of anything alcoholic. Purely pixel size related.

I am reposting another shot with a size count of 421 kbs.

Here is a link for the large sized print on flickr. Feel free to download it if you want to.
