Here is my Nissan Magnite turbo doing off-roading despite being a 2WD CSUV at the meet.

The meet up was fantastic amalgamation of like minded friends and some lip smacking food. Got to know some new faces too but the real stars of the meet were the two kids. Lot has been shared already but here are some pictures from the meet :

First line up of cars from south Calcutta


Second line up near Nivedita setu


All the cars started from Nivedita Setu and then crossed the bridge further to meet at the final rendezvous point near the picnic venue.

Nivedita Setu is lovely piece of engineering


Lovely logo shines all though the Ecosport

Although attendance was low compared to the expected numbers, this kind of meet ups are real fun. Here’s waiting for the next one, cheers.

P.S- The Nissan Turbo Magnite of BHPian swiftvxi06 surprised us all by the sheer capability. The car returns some unbelievable fuel economy figures that got all of us zapped. He has got a real winner in his hands.

What a way to spend a winter day!

Basking in the cool sunrays and with the head feeling like a marshmallow, in a country side 'bagan bari' with huge canopies of mango trees, ducks swimming in the pond and topped up by engaging discussions.

Right from the start - the flaky sweet green pea kochuris and aloo dum for breakfast- to the fish fingers and chili chicken - to the lunch - it was a pure gastronomic delight. For me, it was a first meet up and I hope first of many! I leave you all with some photos. Tried to remember the name of BHP-ians to the extent possible. Excuse the poor quality of the photos - these are super compressed.

By the way, the taste of the uber soft mutton and Basanti pulao still lingers in my mouth as I write!

Priceless! A father and daughter moment. BHPian gmhossain and daughter Reeha.

Totally screwed up the focus. But thats the only photo I could click of Samba and mountaindeep - the organizers. Hats off gents!

[sougatadas]

It's great to see the pics and learn about the outings planned together. I joined recently and missed this announcement. Hope to meet all you guys in person next time. Cheers!

[Burn_out]

What a well organised meet!! Right from the venue to the food, everything was perfectly planned and executed. The breakfast was one the best winter picnic breakfast I had. Kudos to Samba and MountainDeep for their efforts to pull this off so spectacularly.

The cherry on top was the muck and slide session with our 4x4s. As ABHI_1512 complained, we AWD owners don’t miss out any opportunity to showoff.

Unfortunately was too busy with our numerous adda sessions to click any pics. So left the meet with fun filled memories of a day well spent and a very dirty car.

P.S. - On the way back, ABHI_1512 showed me that his Ford might not be a 4x4, but is fast as hell on the tarmac.

Lovely smiling faces.

But I have missed it this time too. Are there any 'Whats App' group?
I have been trying to take part for last few Meets, but never been fortunate enough.

[BlackPearl]

Lovely snaps from everyone and people seemed to have enjoyed a lot. It has been more than 5 years since my last Team Bhp Kolkata meet and I can see a lot of new faces. Will have to catchup a lot next time!

Though I missed the Team Bhp meet, I made up for it a bit by offroading with our Defender 110 and I agree with you that a 4wd has to get muddy, but I differ on the point that Duster is a 4WD. It is an AWD

This is a 4WD

Well, I agree, of course! But we did have a couple of true blue 4wds in the meet, which got stuck; while the reluctant AWD came out gracefully (and gleefully).
