These one-make, one-type car meets bring a new level of excitement and make the ownership experience more enjoyable.

The Volkswagen Virtus is making waves across the sedan segment in India, slowly but surely earning the 'cult' status tag. With its exceptional looks and outstanding performance, it has captured the hearts of many Virtus fans, whether in the 1.0 guise or the 1.5-liter guise.

Since its launch, mine was among the first few batches in India to be delivered, and the ownership experience has been nothing short of outstanding. Now, at the two-year mark and approximately 13,000 kilometers, it's been an overwhelming experience. You never get tired of driving it or taking it for a spin. It serves perfectly as a daily driver or a weekend ride for car meets.

Speaking of which, Virtus car meets are occurring all over the country. These one-make, one-type car meets, which I haven't seen gain much popularity before, bring a new level of excitement. As an automobile buff, it brings a lot of pleasure to mundane Sundays, which are now converted to early morning drives and Virtus car meets.

Here are a few of the Sunday Morning Virtus meets.

These car meets make the ownership experience more enjoyable. Just simple breakfast meet-ups, and then everyone discussing their cars and what they've added or done. They discuss service experiences and help others out with any issues, sharing their own experiences, etc.

Also, it makes people want a Virtus more. It becomes more of an enjoyable hobby, albeit a very expensive one. Just imagine the sight of a Virtus convoy on the road.

Car meets make for a new hobby, passion, and fun, especially with the added joy of taking pictures. Reminds me a lot of my GTA 5 car meets.

These gatherings of Virtus enthusiasts brighten Sunday mornings as they convene for spirited discussions and a display of their beloved rides at a pre-defined location.

This is a gigantic swap meet spread across 2 very large venues with indoor and outdoor vendors, engines, parts, and vehicles in all conditions.

BHPian AKTransAM recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Another year, another Portland (Oregon) Auto Swap Meet. This is one that a couple of friends and myself do every year. The only downside this year was the ridiculous rental we were given (you'll see why in the 1st couple of pics). In case anyone hasn't read my previous years posts, this is a gigantic swap meet spread across 2 very large venues with indoor and outdoor vendors, engines, parts, and vehicles in all conditions (rust bucket complete restoration required to driver quality to immaculate restorations, and everything in between). You never know what you're going to find, either on the vehicle end or parts end, or engines end. Last year, there were more Ford engines, this year not really. More GM engines instead. Anyway you get the picture. I'll let the pics do the talking. There were definitely a couple of vehicles I was really tempted by, but decided not to since I don't have the room anymore and they would have been redundant. I also touched base with fellow foodie mobike008 and got some good recommendations for restaurants in the Seattle area which we were passing through on our way to the swap meet. Couldn't try them this time, but they're on my list. 

This was the disaster we received for our rental. If you've read any of my posts in the past, you may have gathered that I don't really have any positive views on electric or hybrid vehicles (for a variety of reasons). To each their own. Unfortunately, my buddy, who incidentally is a big time Jeeper, and has multiple rock crawling Jeeps that he takes to places Moab and Rubicon etc rented a Jeep. Instead of a Jeep, we got this thing. It was actually pretty hilarious the moment both of us realized we had gotten the Godawful "Jeep" 4Xe hybrid. Among other issues, it also had 20 inch tires, in a Jeep!!. It's a complete piece of bat guano in our opinion. Luckily, no one knew us down there, so they couldn't laugh at us for driving that thing!

Let the fun begin

Old Cadillac for sale 

Beautiful old Ford truck that had moss growing on it. 

This was waaaay overpriced, at around $20K. 

There were a bunch of old Jeeps this year. We hadn't seen that in years past. And all of them sold by the end of the Swap meet

One of my favourites. Old 1978 Bronco. Doesn't get any better than this

This was one we were both really tempted by. My favorite auto manufacturer. A 1968 Pontiac LeMans stick shift. Running and driving, needed some work but nothing major. Great price. These are the same body style as the legendary Pontiac GTO, but cheaper.

I was driving my BMW X3 M40i and giving me company were 2 other cars - a Toyota Highlander and a Subaru Forester.

BHPian mobike008 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I have this unusual bug of driving (I'm sure most of us here have this bug) but, I seem to suffer from it a little more than average.

I feel like doing a drive every few weeks to some exotic location (Washington is filled with them and it makes the drive urges go up like nothing that I can explain). I would like to tick every possible place that is worth visiting in Washington.

The best part is that all exotic locales in Washington are "Day Drives" and maximum of 150 miles one-way which means we can reach that destination in 3 hours of driving at the maximum.

I may have covered about 70% of the major attractions already in Washington and some of them warrant going back at least 2-3 times a year (Landscapes change drastically during each season- Summers, Fall and Winters)

With that said, I kickstarted another beautiful drive plan for November 18, 2023.

I keep track of all beautiful locations from a local blog- Life in Northwest Washington. I saw there that “Picture Lake” in the North Cascade Mountains already received a lot of snow (winter hasn’t even started for us yet) and I was getting an urge to visit the snow-capped mountains so I set a plan in motion.

Initially, there were 6 cars who confirmed to join and on D-day, it dropped to only 3 folks who showed up.

The plan was simple:

• Drive up north for 100 miles and visit the frozen “Picture Lake” in Mt. Baker area which is part of the North Cascades Mountain range.
• Spend a few hours enjoying the view at the location.
• Drive back home and en route stop for a late lunch.

Weather gods also gave us full support, it was 0 Celsius but, sunny throughout the day.

Folks who joined:

• Mobike008 (BMW X3M40i)
• Crackhead (Toyota Highlander)
• Ram (Non BHPIan but, joins most of our drives in his Subaru Forester)

We decided to meet at a Chic-a-fil at a location up north at around 9:00am. We enjoyed a quick breakfast on the bonnet of the Highlander.

Left the breakfast location at 9:30am and drove north on I-5 for about 30 miles and then detoured into the B-roads. Here is where the fun started.

Me and Crackhead enjoyed some spirited driving in the hills for the 50-odd miles through some beautiful, curvy and hilly roads.

We reached Picture Lake around 11'sh and spent a couple of hours exploring the area.

Picture Lake was completely frozen and after thoroughly testing the shore area, we decided to walk on the frozen lake for a few feet inside which was a surreal feeling. Imagine this used to be water just some weeks ago.

Around here, there were a bunch of small birds who would come and sit on your hand if you stretched it out. It was super cool!

Around 1:00pm, we decided to head out and as per Crackhead’s suggestion, we stopped at Aslan Brewery in Bellingham, WA (near the Canada Border) for an amazing lunch. I’m usually not impressed with food easily as most places dish out just average food. But, this place was really good and I already planned to visit here again for its awesome ambience and delicious food.

After spending an hour on lunch, I split early as I needed to get home so I clipped my way home for the rest of the 50 miles to reach home around 5:30pm.

That’s how a beautiful day drive ended where the food complimented the amazing scenery that we witnessed during the day.

Enjoy the pictures. Cheers!

A few pictures of scenery en route and drive to the destination.

Out of the 100 miles, about 70 miles were through the mountains and the last stretch of 20 miles was through a winter wonderland as we kept climbing the top.

Even though there was not much snow (this place will completely change from January to April with 3-4 feet of snow everywhere) as winters are just setting in, it was pleasant to be visiting at this time as you can walk around due to less snow.

Some videos

• Walked in deep snow towards the lake that was completely frozen.
• Surreal Drive as we come closer to the Picture Lake.
• 360 Degree View Point from Artist Point, Mt. Baker.

The highlight of the meetup was not just the cars, it was the people. We were able to connect with individuals from different walks of life.

Introduction

300km, 35+ members, 13 cars and innumerable photographs and memories

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines! A few enthusiastic XUV300 owners had a fantastic time with their cars on a drive and meetup near the beautiful city of Mysore. From Bangalore to Mysore, we embarked on a thrilling journey, filled with breathtaking landscapes, long highways, and unforgettable memories. The destination was never the priority, it was always the journey. We were able to connect with like-minded individuals who share passion for cars and make new friends along the way.

Our meetup was a celebration of the XUV300, a car that embodies the spirit of adventure and performance. From the powerful engine to the sleek design, the XUV300 is the perfect car for those who love to hit the road and explore new horizons. At our meetup, we had the opportunity to highlight the unique features of the XUV300 and share our knowledge and experiences with fellow enthusiasts.

But the highlight of our meetup was not just the cars, it was the people. We were able to connect with individuals from different walks of life, who came together to share their love for the XUV300 and create lifelong memories. From the selfies to the lively conversations, the meetup was a true reflection of the XUV300's spirit of inclusivity and camaraderie.

Let me start from the beginning.

The idea of a Meet up

There are various groups for XUV300 where different problems are discussed, and people display their cars. There is a very active group for all Kerala owners and an offshoot of that was the Bengaluru wing.

The group had already gone for a drive to Lepakshi temple a few months ago and the experience was fantastic. The idea for the next trip was being discussed for a long time and finally bore fruit at the weekend of Diwali.

Planning the Details

Soon the interest forms were shared to see who all are available on the given dates. The location was discussed for a long time and finally decided to go to the Sri Venugopalaswamy temple, Kannambadi. This is near to the KRS reservoir. In fact, there is an interesting history behind this temple.

Before the Krishna Raja Sagara dam project was conceived by Sir M. Visvesvaraya in 1909, the temple complex was located in the village of Kannambadi. The KRS Dam project meant that Kannambadi and other surrounding settlements would be submerged. The then king of Mysore, Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV ordered the construction of a new village for the residents of Kannambadi and aptly named it Hosa Kannambadi (New Kannambadi).

However, the Venugopala Swamy temple complex and two other temples namely Kenneshwara (Ishwara) temple and Kalamma (A local deity) temple had to be abandoned. By 1930, the first phase of the dam was completed, and all three temples were submerged.

The main idol of Venugopalaswamy, Lord Krishna playing on the flute as a cowherd, was shifted to a new temple in the rehabilitated village before the submersion. Later, around 2010, the temple was rebuilt near the new Kannambadi village touching the reservoir water.

The route map was charted out.

And the details were shared with the group.

This was the plan

• 8.00 AM: Everyone must reach starting point after breakfast: Kaniminike Toll Plaza
• Arrange Cars, Briefing and Photos – Spent around 30 Minutes.
• 8.30 AM: Start driving towards Mysore.
• 11.00 AM: First Destination, KRS Dam. Site seeing and Leave by 12.30 PM
• 01.00 PM: Hotels for Lunch: There are a couple of hotels available nearby.
• 2.00 PM: Finish lunch and start driving towards Sri Venugopalaswamy Temple.
• 2.45 PM: At destination: Sri Venugopalaswamy Temple
• Car arrangements, photos, Introductions, Fun activities, sightseeing and meanwhile owners can have discussion on user experience and reviews.
• 5.30 PM: Return to Bangalore

The weather for the day was assessed. (The Drive was on the Saturday)

A poll was taken to find out the colour combinations.

And final locations were charted out to see who was coming from which side of Bangalore.

It was decided to have the first starting point at the Kaniminike Toll Plaza only as before that it would be really difficult to find a good place to park. Hence the wait began for the D-Day. In between more folks got added, few backed out and the discussion continued on how to make it better.

One thing which everyone agreed on was to make it a family outing. If it were just for us petrolheads, we would talk nothing but cars, but we decided to include our families to show them the car craze.

Everyone was busy washing their beasts and getting them ready. My cheetah after a good washing ready for the hunt.

Few things the volunteers made sure everyone noted:

• Have your breakfast and then reach the starting point at 8am.
• Carry water bottles, snacks, cooling glass, hats/caps.
• Additional clothes and toys for kids if they want to have fun in the lake.
• Selfie stick, tripod stand.

Start of the Drive

I started from my home by around 6.30 AM and navigated through the Bangalore traffic (yes on a Saturday morning at 7 AM) to reach the spot around 8.15 AM. By that time there were already 8-10 cars lined up. I will let the pictures do the talking.

All members with their families

Once everyone was ready, it was time to tee off. Joby who was the main person to rally and organize this drive, spoke a few words on how we will go. The main points to be noted were.

• We will go in a convoy and stick to it as much as possible.
• The highway was crowded for Diwali break and everyone to be careful while driving.
• The speed will be maintained between 80 kmph -90 kmph and the max was 100 kmph.
• No one will overtake the convoy vehicle in front.
• In case there is an emergency, the car should put on the hazard light and stop on the side and inform the members.
• For taking photos, cars can put on hazard lights and overtake. Go to a km in front and then park and take photos and videos.
• The first car will have the map directions and others will follow.

And off we went. My wife said it looked like school kids being asked to go in a straight line!

On the way, on the highway

The Bengaluru Mysore expressway is the newly constructed 10-lane expressway. I could see only six lanes throughout the journey though. Maybe some places have all the ten lanes.

It is a beautiful expressway will smooth roads and no undulations even on the flyovers. It passes through the cities of Bidadi, Ramanagara, Maddur and Mandya to reach Mysore. But on XUV300 the journey was really boring as it was really crowded, and this car is not made for 70-80 kmph highway drives. There was no chance to keep the foot down, but it was a calm and rustic drive. In between few cars did speed forward to take reels. But overall, the journey was beautiful and in no time, we reached the end of the expressway where we had to exit and take the road to KRS dam.

The road to KRS had its share of wear and tear but it was not a problem for XUV300. We continued to move in line till we reached the entrance of KRS.

At KRS Dam

What would be the first thing one would do once you reach the Majestic KRS dam? Park the car, get out and get the tickets right. But for us, it was parking the car, again repark the car and again move and park it again to get the best possible shots.

Cannot get enough photos

Meet and Greet

Since we had some time to pass before lunch and it was getting unbearably hot, we decided to get inside the KRS park and have the Meet and Greet under the trees.

Not much of a crowd as it was still afternoon and hot

Photographers on it again

Everyone talked about their experience with XUV300, the good and the bad part. Looks like AMT was the only sore patch on an otherwise competent car.

Lunch and Journey to Sri Venugopalaswamy Temple

We had our lunch at Hotel Heritage Shelters Resort. This is like 5 km from KRS Dam. It was a decent fare for that area and the best part was it had plenty of parking.

A group pic after having food.

It was 3 PM by this time and we decided to quickly go to the next location. The drive was good, the roads were empty and the last 1 km of the journey had broken roads but XUV300 was able to navigate it easily.

And finally, we reached our destination.

It was mega fun to watch the Polo 1.0L TSI move. The BMW 530d was built to do this and it was perhaps the least exerted on the highway run.

BHPian megazoid recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Max Verstappen was going about his business in style and Kalle Rovanpera had already claimed this year's WRC crown. What remained was for us to make our Sunday a wee bit special.

The city and nearby areas had got a fair bit of rain in the past few days and everything was looking pretty. Woke up to good weather and tried sneaking out of the apartment without disturbing anyone. Promptly dropped the water bottle, which bounced in numerous ways not only waking up folks at home but also the neighbour's dog. Cursing the water bottle, made my way into the car and saw the fuel needle resting on its side making no effort to wake up. Realized I needed gas and that would make me further delayed.

Drove into a neighbouring pump and filled regular petrol, rolled the windows down, made small sounds of happiness and drove to the meet point about 20kms away. The day looked lovely with the sun slowly popping out and the early morning folks were up and about, enjoying their day. Tried to fiddle around with the phone while driving and saw a board clearly stating "No mobile phones while driving", refrained from doing anything foolish and concentrated on getting to the location safely.

Low and Fast

One interesting thing about our bunch of driving buddies is that everyone is extremely punctual. Nothing gets more irritating than to see a friend turn up sipping orange juice with a smile while others are melting in the sun. Everyone wanted to quickly get on with the drive and we started moving quickly.

There was a 1.0L Polo AT, a 530d, a 340i and a 330i. We kept a nice rhythm and picked up pace as we left the city behind. After an hour's drive, got to our breakfast point where a BMW Z4 was gathering eyeballs along with a bunch of big bikes. Felt that our day had started on a good note. Had a quick breakfast and polished off a coffee before continuing with the drive.

It was mega fun to watch the Polo move. As a past Polo owner, I could imagine the fun Nerd1200 was having behind the wheel. The 530d was built to do this and it was perhaps the least exerted on the highway run. d3mon knows his car very very well technically had put all his buttons to good use and used his locomotive torque and set sail. The M340i has seen most roads around these parts and it likes fast action and robimahanta happily obliged.

We veered off the fast highway into an undulating curvy stretch which had lovely tree cover. Apart from the beautiful scenery, the car and its occupants were subjected to strong lateral forces that proved beyond doubt that our heads weren't just freely mounted on our necks. Every now and then, we would park, jump out of the car gesticulating wildly about the beauty of the cars making the villager going about his life obviously puzzled at these antics.

Reservoir

After being challenged by curvy two-lane roads, we decided to make things more interesting and landed up on a single-lane winding piece of road that turned out to be super fun. We gathered together at some nice spots for some photos and some relaxation before starting to drive again. At some point, I lost my bearing and went deeper and deeper into some bylanes and finally reached a point of no progress. The Big 5 series just would not be able to squeeze through this alley. This brought out another interesting aspect of the group. People are extremely accommodating even when something were to go wrong with the plan.

Fast and Furious

A short fuel break and we were on the move again. The pace picked up again once the small settlements were behind us and all the cars and their occupants had a great time. We got through a tight ghat that had the 530d tires squealing in protest. The 340i was clinically fast and the Polo was sitting pretty in the rearview mirror easily.

Robi had to drop his friend, who was with us on the drive, at the airport. The friend turned out to be a very good pilot and drove the 340i really well. They had to make it back and could not join us for lunch. The rest of us had a late lunch and then parted ways making it a small yet happy driving day.

Greetings BHPians,

Sunday morning can't get any better. I got an invite to visit the 4th edition of Cars and Coffee that took place today at Ciclo Cafe, ECR.

An impressive variety of cars ranging from supercars to JDMs to classics and modified beasts participated in the event. The crown jewel of the event must be the showcase of DB12 and DBX707 from Aston Martin Delhi.

Some of the other highlights include:

• Twin turbo Huracan
• Stage 2 Cayenne Coupe Turbo
• Toyota Crown
• Gen2 LHD Mustang

We couldn't even check out most of the vehicles since there were so many but the best thing was that nothing was overpriced.

It's Fall weather out here, which is a byword for atrocious. My buddy had been wanting to get out of town for a few days on a road trip, so we planned a 10-day trip around the famous Pomona (CA) swap meet.

We had heard a lot about it and decided it would be a great time to check it out. And since I'd never been to California, all the better. I'll have a few more posts in the coming days on other things we visited on this trip, including Yosemite, the Petersen Auto Museum, Shelby Headquarters etc. But for now, this is the 1st log.

We normally visit the Portland Swap Meet. This meet in comparison was enormous (and the Portland meet is huge). There were literally thousands of cars for sale (yes, I got the number right). We couldn't even check out most of the cars since there were so many. Most of the cars in the pics were for sale. The best thing was all the cars were very affordable. Nothing was overpriced.

If the car was a project, or driver quality, or show quality, they reflected the prices you'd expect. And it was pretty neat since occasionally you'd have drivers going up and down the strip in the swap meet, so you could check out more cars driving around. The only downside was that it was 94 degrees, no wind, and all on asphalt with no shade, so it was incredibly hot, especially for 2 dudes who're from Alaska and not used to that heat. But worth it. I'll probably have to break this post up into 2 pages due to the number of pictures. Anyways, the pics follow!

Beautiful chopped "Lead Sled" 50's Mercury. Amazing workmanship. Thing was a work of art.

Even the front hood emblem was redone!

The event was organized fantastically, with everyone maintaining decorum and following the rules and regulations.

Every year on Friendship Day, Porsche Centre Mumbai holds a Friendship Day Drive for its customers in Mumbai. This Drive has been being organized for a few years now, but I came to know about it this year only and that too by sheer luck.

A few days before the Drive, Porsche Centre Mumbai (PCM) started posting "4 Days To Go", "3 Days To Go" and so on, on their Social Media handles. Since I was following this, I initially thought the Infinity Group was opening another dealership in Mumbai. It was when I asked @porschein.india on Instagram what were these posts about did I came to know that it was a Drive organized by PCM and not a new dealership as I had earlier thought. Porsche India came through and sent the location and time of the event.

The assembling time was at 7:00 AM and Maker Maxity, Jio World Mall, BKC, was the Flag-off Venue. The group (Porsche Owners / PCM Customers) would then head for breakfast to Bandra. I attended the event till the flag-off took place (the scheduled time of the flag-off was 7:30 AM) and all cars had assembled at Maker Maxity, BKC.

A school friend of mine from Powai accompanied me and both of us reached the event at 7:15 AM in my car, by then many cars (Porsches) and spotters had already arrived.

PS: I am neither one of those famous Mumbai Car Spotters nor a Porsche Owner, so I apologize in advance if any picture is not up to the mark

The quality of some pictures has been degraded since I had to mask the plates of the cars, also I have a few videos of the cars during the flag-off, not sharing them to protect the privacy of the owners.

Porsche Taycan

The torch-bearers of the Line-up when we reached were these two Taycans. As more and more cars arrived these Taycans were pushed back to the middle of the line-up while standing still.

Porsche Taycan Turbo S

This Taycan Turbo S finished in Neptune Blue looked quite stellar!

Porsche 911 Carrera S (997)

The car which kicked off the drive was this cool Red 997 911 Carrera S.

Porsche 911 Turbo (997)

This Black 997 911 Turbo looked spectacular with BBS rims and red brake callipers!

Porsche 911 Turbo (997)

Another 997 911 Turbo was there but with the Techart Type 2 bumper. The Golden Yellow Metallic colour and Carbon-Fibre stripes on the bonnet and roof mimic the 2017 Exclusive Series 991 911 Turbo S that Porsche had launched.

Porsche 911 GT3 (991.1)

This 991.1 911 GT3 bears the Martini Racing Livery and was present at Porsche’s Festival of Dreams event as well. Has been really maintained well!

Porsche 911 Carrera S (991.2)

This particular 911 (992.1) Carrera S is finished in a very beautiful red colour and different from Guards Red.

Porsche 911 Carrera S (992.1)

Next up was this beautiful Gentian Blue Metallic (992.1) Carrera S with Gold wheels and Red brake callipers

Porsche 911 Carrera S (992.1)

The (992.1) Carrera S was a common sight at the event, this particular example was finished in Guards Red.

Porsche 911 Carrera S (992.1)

The final (992.1) Carrera S was finished in Racing Yellow, the owner is a very popular gamer in the Indian Gaming Community “8bit Thug” IIRC.

Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.1)

We reached the first 992.1 911 Turbo S in the lineup, and finished in a very tantalizing Ice Grey Metallic!

Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.1)

Another 911 (992.1) Turbo S painted in GT Silver Metallic with black stripes on the bonnet and a black roof.

Porsche 911 GT3RS (991.2)

This 911 GT3RS stole the entire show as soon as it arrived, the exhaust note, the aero bits, the way the ‘Lizard Green’ colour was popping, everything was just perfect!

Porsche Cayenne Turbo

This Cayenne Turbo is finished in Dolomite Silver Metallic and the alloys complement the colour and car brilliantly!

Outro

The event was organized fantastically, with everyone maintaining decorum and following the rules and regulations. The flag-off was delayed by 30 minutes but at such an event it's expected.

A big thumbs up to Porsche Centre Mumbai (Infinity Group) for holding this event and letting ordinary people catch a glimpse of these superb cars. Porsche India held the "Festival of Dreams" event in Jan 2023, which I couldn't attend since I was away at college, so this opportunity was a godsend for me! I hope the Infinity Group holds a similar drive for BMW owners as well, something which Navnit BMW does regularly.

The Cult Fitness Centre in Maker Maxity had fitness-seekers leave their Sunday Morning session to witness "Stuttgart in Mumbai".
