But I captured him:

Somebody play with me

Love the yellow beauty! and all the aspiring tractor drivers . btw Is it a lab or German Shepperd?

jassi · 11th August 2008, 07:48

if you see the pics i have posted - there are both of them - there is a white labrador and there is a german shepherd

and this certainly not offtopic as the canine bhpians were very much part of the meet

muralisk · 11th August 2008, 08:09

Wow!! This is awesome. Had to miss as I went to Srisailam. Probably, will be there for the next meet.

My goodness!!

This is one hell of a meet!
All cheers to everybody who made it so nice and great!

More! More! More!

dkamath · 11th August 2008, 10:54

Hi All, that was a nice meet! We had a good time, and nice to know a few of you (regret we couldn't stay back for long, though). Thanks to the veterans for the wonderful arrangements made!

Posting a few snaps below.

Pic 1: Akroy with his pride.
Pic 2: No, that's not some car thief sitting next to the seize. It's me!!!
Pic 3: A "WonderWhatHappensNext" quiz by "Wonderwhyme". Answer: Nothing happened. The Pajero held itself firmly against Wonderwhyme's might, and didn't do a wheelie (sorry, no offence meant

)
Pic 4: We saw this on the way back. A boy taking a much-needed rest from his heavy chores :(

Sorry Guys. Got stuck in a minor family crisi over the weekend and could not post earlier. A very well organized and a thoroughly enjoyable meet. Kudos to Hari, Abhi and Mahendran for making it happen. We had a great day and my kids especially had a wonderful time. They played and ran around so much, that when we got home, both of them crashed out.

yes, we did, thats very minor, a paintbrush touchup is what it requires.

Hold on, mine is still a 4x2 but the climb on the farm could have been attempted, although I enjoyed your Off-roading.

PatchyBoy, nice capture.

Car/TBHPians count on the rise at Bangy . And have aleast one 4x4 machine everytime.

Did mcl do a drift or talk about Yokos for the tractor?

And where's Mag these days?

PhrozenFire · 11th August 2008, 12:25

This thread has run into 7 pages already??! Wow. Just goes to show how popular it was. Guess one of the better ones Bangalore, or Team-Bhp for that matter, has seen.
My first post after the meet! Very well organised by mjothi, akroy and lukeskywalker. I know this has been said umpteen times before, but they deserve to be thanked again! So...Thank you guys! Everything was super smooth.
Special thanks to jassi and jaguar for letting me ride shotgun with them, after the friends I was supposed to ride with passed out cold after a heavy night out with the umm '42.8% v/v'

.
Looking forward to the next one guys!

Dadu, you start coming to OTR's and you will realize what a 4x2 can do in capable hands. Some of fellow jeepers come in MM540 2WD and are able to do 'most' of the terrain except a few technical stretches.

Bring out your bull to the OTR's and you will yourself be surprised at the capabilities of your machine.

prabhuav · 11th August 2008, 13:13

Hari, mjothi and akroy, thanks for the great meet. aka the gentler side of teambhp.
