What happens When these many supercars gather for a day out? a festival that comprises many Wet dreams

Once upon a time, many Sundays ago, I remember answering a phone call from Peter Chacko. It was simple. He had managed to get together some of the cars he had tuned, for a drive and invited me to tag along, maybe even drive a couple of them on one of ‘Pete’s Super Sunday’ drives. In the lineup at the time, were a couple of Skoda Octavias/ Lauras, a Chevrolet Cruze, a BMW 3-Series and a couple of SUVs, which included a Thar. The Skodas were certainly favourites for Peter and he had managed to turn a couple of them into rather ludicrous monsters churning out close to 500 horsepower. But, that’s a story for another time.
