| Re: General Meet ups in Coimbatore The first meet of 2017 was planned for the border of Tamilnadu and Kerala, in the Anaikatti border. Anaikatti, meaning a collection of elephants, still draws the pachyderms in good numbers and the road from Coimbatore to Anaikatti is plastered with numerous wildlife department posters reiterating the fact that the gentle giants have the right of way in these forests and not to block their path. Reached the meeting spot a few minutes past 6 after picking up FuelInjector to see vdm295 was already there with his son, taking in the clean unpolluted air, the suspended particulate matter having been swept away by the night showers. One by one the rest of the crowd started trickling in, the TB350 of Asta_la_vista with its freshly affixed greasehouse megaphone makes its arrival heard from the curve, and he rolls up in a wake of rolling thunder. Next up was the Civic of Aslamjaffer, his arrival heralded by the notes of the RRP exhaust punctuating the still air with their mellifluous notes. Next up came the frantic text from Doc_nikhil admitting that he is just up and trying to get his son ready and moving. The white Superb of krishsreedharan makes a regal appearance next, followed by the twin punto’s of nskumar and DRIV3R, followed by the roar of the milltek’s as quicksilver’s silver Laura streaks into the picture.   The banter goes on for close to an hour till the black Vento of Doc_nikhil makes it arrival with the doctor apologising for his late arrival. Pleasantries done, it was time to kick off. The lush green scenery all around the road provides the city slickers with much needed relaxation. The light showers of the previous night had given the foliage a fresh burst of green and the varying hues of colour all around the tarmac only made the drive much better. The road meanders thru thick vegetation, the smooth flowing tarmac, interspersed with sweeping curves made for a delightful drive, the lack of traffic proving to be the icing on the already delicious cake. The road led to SACON (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A...atural_History), where graaja was waiting with his Jetta to join us.    Posse complete, we marched off in formation to the Kerala border. After a few km’s of scenic picture postcardesque vistas, we hit the border and parked for yet another chai gupshup session.   Chaya stop at the Kerala border After indeterminable number of chaya’s and with the discussion varying from agriculture to smart cities to IoT and of course cars, it was time to head home. We headed back for a much deserved breakfast with hot kaapi and post that dispersed home, drawing the curtains on yet another enjoyable Sunday morning drive. Special thanks to vdm295 for the delicious home made cookies, paniyaarams and cake and to FuelInjector for the melts-in-the-mouth Ooty Varkeys. Thanks to all the participants krishsreedharan Quicksilver Vdm295 Graaja Aslamjaffer Asta_la_vista nskumar Doc_nikhil DRIV3R FuelInjector batterylow |

| Re: General Meet ups in Coimbatore First I need to say a big thanks to Batterylow & asta_la_vista who took all the efforts to organise this meet. Batterylow you have penned down the meet very well.  Quote:
Here are some of the pictures taken from my mobile during the meet & hence the clarity might not be that good. | |
