Q.ZigWheels Forum Turns 1!

[URL="https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/profile/18"]MotuSid[/URL] Awesome thread.. Really loved the entire journey :) My last year journey coming very soon. Along with a travelogue on Nepal :D

Brilliant post [USER="18"]MotuSid[/USER] ! Sums up my memorable experience in the Forum as well! We sure had a lot of fun in a year and I still remember the evergreen (cold) days of December when I first interned here. Meeting so many like-minded people for the first time was indeed a humbling experience. A big shout-out to our supermod [USER="6"]Roshun[/USER] for giving us so many opportunities to explore our capabilities. ZigDrives are indeed the icing on the cake. Looking forward to many more rides, drives, reviews and general awesomeness that the Forum community brings!

Happy Birthday Everyone! Can't describe how happy I am being part of the ZigWheels Forum, it has made the past year very memorable for me. The people I have come to know, the cars and bikes and other vehicles I have seen (maybe experienced too), and the experiences I have had thanks to the Forum brings me indescribable joy. Here's a short look back at my year in the Forum.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]n21898[/ATTACH] One of the many interesting artifacts at the Museum, if you haven't visited it - I do recommend you go there.

The one above is courtesy [USER="20"]NikilSJ[/USER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n21900[/ATTACH] The ride to Death Valley, Surajkund [URL="http://https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/posts/7076-zigdrive-3-ride-to-death-valley-surajkund-saturday-april-2-2016"]courtesy ZigDrive 3[/URL] will be remembered because it reminded me that you do not need to go too far to discover beautiful places in Delhi/NCR. I will also remember it because of the bloody monkeys who partly destroyed my car. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n21901[/ATTACH] Here's [USER="46"]Speedzilla[/USER] using skill and his natural advantage of being a skinny lad to good use while driving an underpowered kart. I forget the name of the event, and I think we have not written anything about it on the forum.
