This was a long time pending meet of all the 800's.
The meet was just decided just 2 days before the meet. Tried to recall all the 800 owners and called them. I could get only few responses.
We had been to Nandi hills. Started at 4.45 am in the morning. Reached back home by 10.30 (short and sweet meet).

Girish & his friends - 800
We drove each others car. The star of the show was Joe's turbocharged 800.
Wow that's a real DIY of adding a turbo charger to a 800. The car moves like any thing. All the other cars on the Ghats were struggling to climb (even diesel cars) but this car zoom passed every thing. .
No words to describe it,if the car zoom passes any bigger car at high speeds. The driver of the other car's expression would be like this
Harsha has got a new exhaust and a set potenza's 13". Drove this car was pretty impressed the way it handles. The exhaust note is good and not loud too. The car looks new even though is a 7 year old car.
Then next would be testing Girish's car driving down the hill. The car is butter smooth as usual. Brakes are excellent considering its a carb model. No rattles. The only thing I found was the tires flex at sudden turing since the height / side wall is big and of 145 sections.
Dint drive the other two cars. I was missing my 800 a lot. Though we were thinking to take it but we tested last night just for few kms the engine was over heating. So left it at home.
We enjoyed speaking to each other, later saw the sun set the climate was very good. We could find mist early in the morning.
Thanks to every one to make this meet memorable.
