Mumbai CARnama - Mumbai Meet and Drive - Experiences Pg. 5 Onwards!

[freakdude]

Holy Fu#$%^g Sh1t!!!!

You guys have given the word "meet" a new dimension altogether!!! I can only imagine how refreshing and elating the experience would have been when the big-shots like you guys meet up.

Special for the video, had a very pro feel to it, specially the sequence when you all are climbing the stairs, appears as if press is covering the entry of celebrities to some event.

Wow. superb. Am dashed just seeing the pics. Very well organised and neatly presented. Not able to see video since I am not allowed to see youtube from office network and datacard is not connecting. Will look at that as soon as I go home or datacard connected.

I think Raja and Raj_5004 took this seriously based on the recent meets took place in hosur and chennai , but the spirit has resulted in very nice outcome guys, congratulations once again. It has given all a new direction to hold the meets and present its output

@Johnyboy, I was just joking buddy !! you seriously look like "Hariharan"

 

[350Z]

Oh boy. I’m left speechless looking at the coverage. Indeed, it’s one of the most memorable meets in TAI ever. Kudos Raja, Nigel and Raj for this unique idea and presentation.

Drive Safe,
350Z

@ all

First and foremost a huge round of applause for every member who participated in the meet and a special one for nickandre without him the entire concept of presenting the meet the way we did would have been not possible .

The video and pictures presentation idea is explained in very precise way by raj_5004 in his post . Basically through video make all other members on the forum also part of the meet by showing the entire timeline of the meet . And with pics basically give more content per pic . Keeping it simple , clean , clutter free , easy to read and see and even remember .

The meet itself was fun filled from Bandra -> worli ->sea link -> hajiali -> wardern road - >chow patty - >marine-lines - >marine drive -> nariman point -> colaba- >eastern free way -> chembur .

Some members I met were for the very first time , and some I have met already a couple of times .

As always everybody has a unique personality . I have divided the members in groups .

Group number 1 - guys who add grace to the occasion with their poise , calmness , charm , cool attitude - vikalp11 , johny boy , nickandre , petrolheadprash , sandykudva. Nicepankaj .

Group number 2- guys who are basically unlimited fun , who because of their energy , enthusiasm are the pillars of every successful meet - number one in this list is raj_5004 , followed equally without any order are storme 911 , jar pickle , ravib , cruiser .
Without these guys the meeting can't happen period .

But one thing in common in all is all are true " auto enthusiast "

We also missed many members from Mumbai who for some unavoidable reasons couldn't make it this time mainly Superbad , suku Patel and silverlxnano . Guys hope next time you make it please .

And hopefully next month will be a weekend meet planned again so all can come and have fun by joining us . Invitation will be posted on the forum soon which is for all members of the forum who wish to join us in Mumbai .

Since every meeting was arranged and organized very efficiently by one gentleman from Mumbai in the past I like always missed him immensely .

Inspite of not being in India he is in touch with the entire Mumbai group via what's app and the forum from Australia . Infact although he can't physically make it to the meet he is a important part of every meet we have from planning stage till the end .

He is no other then ->

Finally, we headed to the restaurant where I had the most amazing Punjabi thali.

Nicepankaj and wife: The only couple within the group! The only thing I can say about him is that - I love your red Punto. Please consider accessorizing it!

Hey Raj,

Good write up, with all the enthusiasm around seems like you missed some,
1. We had Gujarati thali, correct?
2. Suggestion noted, but mine was BNW Punto

I think Raja and Raj_5004 took this seriously based on the recent meets took place in hosur and chennai , but the spirit has resulted in very nice outcome guys, congratulations once again."

Thanx for your encouragement RK sir , we are helpless souls , without your divine & trolling guidance we will be lost and confused souls . Deeply humbled with your insights and observations .

 

[mukesh]

WOW!!!
Nice pictures guys, the only thing missing is the car pictures.

 

[zengetz]

Awesome stuff guys ! The enthusiasm is so well reflecting from each and everyone one of you.

Full marks for the way you have presented this and as I was telling Raja this morning, watching my buddies in this video put a smile on my face.

As for Nigel and Raja and Rajeev - splendid work!!!
Sorry I couldn't find the ' take a bow' smiley on forum runner.

 

[Raja]

Third meet that i have attended so far and consider it the best though the other two give close competition in their own way.For the successs of Mumbai CARnama special round of applause to raja, raj_5004, nickandre.Because they were the ones who took the management of the meet into their hands and have done an amazing job which can be seen right here.
The thali was a delight, nickandre was quite shocked the way i was hogging on the dishes. Luckily the waiters were quick at serving else i would have gobbled the utensils also .Raja thank you for taking me to so many wonderful eateries.
Thanks to storme911 he let me join him in his car, picked me up at my doorstep and again dropped me right there after the meet.That was a very nice gesture by him.
Raj_5004 - This guy can be anything once he a super-fast driver and then the very next second he evolves into a clown fooling around and entertaining everyone.His civic is THE BEAST. One of the best cars i have ever sat in so far, every-time i see a civic these days on the roads i let it go ahead of me with sheer respect.Wish my next car can be a civic.
Happens to be the first time i met sandykuya,petrolheadpras,nicepankaj,Vikalp,Nigel as others know i am quite shy and take my time to get comfortable did not spend real time with them.
Dharmesh bhai I was among those people wo missed you at the meet.
Hehe Gurrala I predicted and mentioned to raja that u will feel bad about missing this meet.
We did miss you too, you the face of TAI meets.

 

[stormer]

Truly splendid and awesome meet this was it seems!
Great going guys.This shows the passion and love for each other and your machines.
Awesome pics and everthing so well wriiten.When reading i almost thought about the entire scenes in my mind as well.
I wonder when will i be able to meet you guys for real.

Hi All,

What more to add about meet, all well covered by raj_5004, nickandre, Storme911, cruiser, Raja and ravib.

But cant' resist myself, penning down thoughts/ insights of the meet.

This was my first meet and counting for many more. Being a newcomer never left like that/ left out, however everyone made us (me and wife) comfortable and welcomed us.

It's not that I don't enjoy driving, but during meet I really cherished driving on potholes/ traffic free roads. And moreover I had never driven on Sea Link neither on Eastern Freeway.

While chatting at NCPA, heard from some they had skipped the breakfast and someone also mentioned that, he had tiny bytes at previous night's dinner so that they could enjoy the mouth watering yummy Gujarati thali. After lunch I too felt, should have avoided heavy breakfast from the Idliwala anna.

Some light hearted fun during shoots and also on the way to Asiatic library. At Asiatic library with all-rounder Raja and Nick (photographer, cameraman, editor…) brought the true acting skills out of everybody. And can’t forget the one section of cruiser and Raj.

During lunch, all were hungry and Raja kept us all waiting till the whole thali was served with all items (Just imagine this scene).

Any hardcore non-vegetarian will go weak in knee after seeing the fully served Gujarati thali, me too one of it. We started hogging on food after sometime the waiter came and asked should he bring the remaining items to eat, and Raja used to give confirmations, these happened for more than 2-3 times. We used look at Raja, he used to mention. Yes, there are some more eatables still pending.

And once again thanks to Raja and Nigel but without of us all the video wouldn’t have been so great.

Looking forward for another meet.

 

[manojodungat]

True enthusiasm at its best!
Simply awesome!!

I am yet to watch the video but going by the way the details are being presented by Raj, it can’t be anything less than a blockbuster event. A big shout out to all who made it for the meet to make it a grand success in style.

BTW, those pictures are well captured shots! Every single one in pictures, not only look good but different and stylish too.

Excellent presentation once again.
