O/T-
Mumbai-Pune expressway sucks- concrete+not so even!!
But its the only respite for traffic crazed Mumbaites!!
I always took the older twistier route!!
more fun!!
Travelled all the way to Delhi in 2004, in an esteem, fully packed with luggage, even rear seats, just enough space for third occupant!!!!:rofl:
Only occupants- me and driver!!
Transporting friend's bro's car and stuuf to Delhi coz he moved there temporarily!!
Bro was at Ahmedabad for conference!!
Friend joined us there!!
Bumped off driver and asked him to take bus back to bombay and join at delhi later!!:rofl:
We 3 moved on!!
First stop Ahmedabad(me+driver), (we 3) next jaipur, third and final destination- Karnal/kurukshetra in haryana!!
3 days and all this while i was on crutches!!
Docs don't know this yet!!
Thats when i first encountered the Baroda-Ahmedabad expressway!!:clap:
Newly opened, 100 odd kms of fresh Tar and no lights!!
So markers glowed in headlights like diwali lights!!:hap2:
Amazing sight!!
Though the vehicle was so heavy, we had decided to cruise at 80-100kmph all the way!!
But when we saw maruti 800s and zens zip by, allowed the driver to pick up speed!!
Till i had to rein him in at 140kmph!!:rofl:
Didn't want any risk to engine and hanling as we had a long journey ahead!!
Yeah, and a merc went like ...!!

hyeah:
Sent 40+ text msgs to all my pals!!
SAD- camera was at home!!
