The drive was pretty good except for confusion about places where we ended for coffee thanks to the Shyam's driver.

Next time, park the car to the side and call me up for directions. I don't think you are good at multitasking

.

It was a nice drive, been to that part of town after ages. Thanks for making it guys and also it was nice to see the ladies turn up too. Where are the pics Biju?

I think this week most of us might be off to Hyderabad to watch the drag.

Tentative plan as of now is, Tadu, brraj, Shyam, Sriraj, Satya and myself. I think memo & binz also had plans of going to Hyd. I think our plan will be decided by Saturday afternoon. Still nothing is confirmed.

v1p3r · 1st October 2009, 00:32

Ok, keep us updated.

I was not able to resize them to less than IMB. They were all above 3MB. Will post some pics tomorrow. I will also e-mail the pics to you.

Guys, I am driving down to hyderabad on Friday.

So, I get a call at some 8pm from Sriraj telling me that we were going to Maddur CCD. I was in no moods for the drive as I hadn't slept for the past 3 days. So an hour later Shyam & me are off to Nice road junction since we didn't want to hurt Sriraj's feelings by not turning up.

We reached Nice road only to find out that we have the ladies joining us this time. Someone forgot to tell Shyam that, poor thing

.

The drive was quite confusing. I thought we were going to Barista, our usual hang out place, but then we hit Kamat Lokaruchi for dinner. Amidst all this Biju has somehow managed to lose his way and is already near Maddur CCD. We rush up with the dinner and hit the roads. We hit the first CCD just before Maddur and since the drive is too short Tadu just carries on driving to the usual CCD in Maddur town we normally frequent. Reach there to find out that Biju is at the other coffee day. Now someone has forgotten to give him the right directions.

Few minutes later, the confused soul driving the octy calls up for directions and can't figure out which CCD we are at. It was hilarious, trying to explain that we are at the CCD right next to the bus stand in Maddur town and Raj was like we are already there only. I go outside, no sign of Octi anywhere.

So after 15 mins we all re-group. Thankfully everyone have made their way this time. Its time to show off the rides now. And a certain someone decides to show off his new rims & tires. And then we are being given a demo on how to change a tire on a Octi F1 isshhtyle. Trust me, I'd never want to get stuck with a puncture on a Octi anywhere. It took all of us (except me, I was just busy clicking pics of people in some weird poses, lol) atleast half an hour to get the rim to mount properly.

Octi undergoes surgery!

Sriraj is wondering, a show off all gone really really bad

.

Somehow, all brains put together managed to achieve the impossible.

Look at the satisfaction on Shyam's face, me thinks this is the reason why Sriraj was insistent on convincing Shyam to come for the drive though he had to drive to Chennai the very next morning.

A group pic before we headed back.
