Nice shots till now. I am pretty interested in how Samurai's GV performed.

tsk1979 · 10th December 2007, 11:39

Samurai took an Airbus to the Off road session. The GV was parked in M'lore

madan80 · 10th December 2007, 11:45

lots of pictures... there were 4 jeeps and close to 6 photographers. so every possible angle has been covered, uncovered and over covered.

All in all it was a fun meeting - i drove a jeep ,and now realised why arka has such well developed arms.
we actually got to see some hardcore off-roading, some winching (via pulleys) and complete dismantle and re-assembly of the jeep gearbox inside the quarry (because a bolt fell off).

So, let's see some of the shots guys. However, I'm sure that the best shots will come from the official Chennai Team-BHP photographer

. I focused mostly on off-roading this time, I have very few worth keeping.

khaadu75 · 10th December 2007, 15:37

Guys , It sure seems that this probably was the best meet Bhpians have attended .... who is the proud owner of the green jeep ( low bonnet ) ?? Seems to be in top condition !!!

Really looking forward to pics but more than that do you guys have any videos taken at this event ...

Good going !!

Samurai · 10th December 2007, 16:32

Khaadu, these snaps were all from the level one challenge. The Jeep belongs to a Doctor who is heavily into off-roading, but he not a member here.

speedmiester · 10th December 2007, 17:02

The pics are good, can we have more pics.
Has any one have videos of the meet?
