It's getting almost to the end of the day and the beginning od 'our day'. Needless to say, the party went on till the wee hours of Sunday. And, i cannot post any of the pics here for fear of the mullahs.It was a lot of fun, i can tell you that!.The beach was also trashed, by the time we got through with it!.

There were 35 people in all, at this meet.

Nice but indian cars are like old styles.

Same night, found in the parking lot is an old TATA Sumo that looked like this.The owner wanted to make his drive look like a horse!. He was a local member of our club and was an excellent host too. He invited us to visit his workshop and check out his eclectic collection of vehicles. Which we did the next day. Anyone this crazy deserves a closer look, don't you think?!.

@carbonclass

They have all kinds of vehicles here. It just happened that the vehicles at the meet were far from exciting. That's what the guys who were nice enough to show up, drove. Here's a street scene in Pondicherry. The red car's made in Madras. Can you guess the model?

After breakfast it is time to brave the chaotic Pondicherry traffic. Anything goes over there.

Driving in Pondicherry. Street scene. Hazy pic, but i like the streets in this town. They have a mediterranean feel to them.

I'll continue this drive later.

These are pretty random pictures. Avenues, roads and some not worthy cars.. I mean, where should I bring out the "wooh!" factor?
