Vishal you would only get that Choc pack if you do the job till the end . Only proposing a place wont help . That does include doing " bhakar " , " pestering " people to join the meet

@Thar4x4

see my first post about chocolate pack, as Jealousdiamond posted correctly, you have to do the job till it conclude, not just proposing.

re: ext Tapri meet in Pune - 8th May Drive & Lunch Meet: Mulshi

What a meet!!

It was really nice meeting everyone for the first time and although i have been around this forum for quite sometime, in the past few days my visits to this page had declined because of work commitments and frequent travel plus functions at home. But thanks to swanand, who informed me about this meet, i was able to make it.

When i spoke to swanand in morning, i told him that i wont be coming as i was a bit skeptic to drive all alone from kalyani nagar to lavasa and back! But my friend Pankaj, ever enthusiastic came to rescue when he decided to come with me for the drive. The conversation went a little like this:

Time: 6:00 am
Me: Pankaj I am going to lavasa for a drive. get up and get ready as i m picking u up in half hour.

Pankaj: huh?? please rewind with details

Me: There is a Team-BHP meet at lavasa and I am heading for that. I am taking you along so get ready in half hour

Pankaj: ok done!!!

Time: 7:00 am (IN my white vento and over first smoke of the day)

Pankaj: what is Team-BHP?

Whatever said and done, it was a great trip. The ace in the card was the drive back for me. I had a client lunch meeting and i had only one hour to reach model colony from lavasa. This is where the Tiptronic mode of my vento came in to use as the car rapidly ate away the kilometers leaving behind a long trail of black rubber.

Awaiting for the next meet where we all can do some actual serious rubber burning!

Great account of your trip gents!
May there be many more

@gautamkhadse - I see some cyclists in one of your pics. Did you notice any more or it was only that group?

Just returned from our Mahbi trip, and just had to log on to see the pics. Fantastic! You guys sure had a fantastic drive.

Phew that really was one detour, but glad that we could make it just to say hello. would also like to thank my wife for encouraging me to drive out all the way to meet you guys, looks like the teambhp & our wives thread worked

Also thanks for your kind words and encouragement @dot @amitwlele @swanand inamdar @noopster @jealousdiamond

Was nice meeting all of you. And looking forward to being a part of the next drive full time.

Drive Safe!

Guys it would not be possible for me to join in on these dates. Considering that it is year end/month end expect to be in office during that time to resolve customer issues

On another note is the date not too close to the last drive meet. I guess some guys missed out on 14th because of prior commitments but IMHO we need to plan drive meets with sufficient gaps. Also as some BHPians had suggested in previous posts planning the meet on a National Holiday should also be given a thought. The above points are my personal views and no offence meant to anyone

re: ext Tapri meet in Pune - 8th May Drive & Lunch Meet: Mulshi

I am more inclined toward a meet between 15th Apr to 1st May at Mahabaleshwar rather than Lonavala.
Lonavala is best in monsoon rather than summer.

Upto 15th Apr, all school exams will be over,
summer will be in max mode,
perfect time to experience cool wind at Mahaby.

30th apr and 1st may will be perfect time for Mahaby meet.

As 1st May is national holiday, all work, offices etc will be closed, perfect for those who work on Sunday.
Those who are willing to stay at Mahaby, they can dash at that place on 30th Apr i.e. Saturday and can join the meet in the morning/afternoon at Mahaby.


Over to you guys.

No no no!! PLEASE not around the 16-17 April weekend. I already missed the Lavasa drive and won't be able to bear it if I miss the next one too. I'm going off to Goa around the 16-17 April weekend and the bookings are already done . I hope we can arrange for the next / previous weekend?
