1463 km - google map goes through some state highways, needs to be cleaned up.

How much money would it be with your SX4 on CNG Aby? (Hope there is CNG available all thorugh the journey...) We will be 5 of us to share that...

EDIT: Checked with Mapmyindia - 1480 km, going by National highways alone. Aby - take this modified figure for calculations...

well yes. Count me in on this too !. Game On friends !( 13th-20th December wali assumption ).

And  Aby, wait about the car travelling bit. You talking about your car is confidence ! You thinking Arun would also want to take his car that long-Overconfidence ! Hehe, i mean i can't say anything about it as of now. Delhi to Mumbai itself would mean 2 days of driving. And Condering Each one of us delhiites drive, still the car(s) would need rest. Means 2 + 2 Days of total car travelling. Now i am not sure, anyone else would support us on this.

At the end of the day you are very right Karan...makes more sense,but I still wont give up on my endeavours...

I Will travel all alone in the worst caseCry[Krishna wont lemme though,i am not that irritating i guess]Tongue out

For sure Arun is the man who will not enforce an idea as close to this...

It will be a rough test for the cars...Can you imagine driving for full 20 hours in one go...well i have done that too[maniac] full 900 kms in tavera...well i think 1500km distance is a lot of travelling...but not unachievable...just imagine the trip,it would be one of a kind,keeping aside the pics of this rare excurtion,still has lot more excitement...

Aaaah!!! hmmm Hope Arun just sees this post in his horror!!! lol

These kids have gone insane...!!! lol

I just cant stop laughing at it...

Hehe, Arun i hope you r NOT reading this. I think Aby has already made up his mind about the whole Car-travelling thing. Sorry i am "pheroing pani" to all this Aby. But i don't think its a very nice idea. At-least not for the cars.

I think the Delhites travelling as a heard would be a good idea.Hey sitting in a boring flight,train or bus does not make sense of The Carwale meet.It is all about our cars.It definetly a long but pleasure trip.But safety should be the main order of preference.

Well that's true Bhardwaj, but i think If a group is on a plane or a train it would still be fun d reason why i din't quite agree with Aby was safety itself.
