Hello Everyone - Finally I am in! Folks, I am basically a petrol head who loves to run around in a diesel, that’s how I can define myself in one line.
But firstly thanks to the Mods for letting me in, After 5 years and 3 attempts ,I am finally a part of TBHP, really appreciate it!
I am fascinated by automobiles and Team-bhp is the best automotive forum in the country, totally unbiased, not affiliated to any car manufacturer, and strictly for true enthusiasts.
And like many others in this prestigious forum, I strongly promote and prefer safe riding and features like seat belt, ABS, airbags rather than rear AC vents, touchscreen ICE, DRLs ,AutoFoldable ORVMs and Push button starts! These days, folks from my office/family consults me before any car buying decision (thanks to bit of knowledge gained from you guys) – and I try to educate people with these safety aspects. Not always successful though;-)
Well to introduce myself formally, I am Arnab, again an IT professional from Kolkata. Being a mechanical engineer originally, my fascination for automobiles started from college days itself. And like many others in this forum, my day starts by reading TBHP site (which is my home page of course) before taking up the newspaper.
First heard of TBHP during 2006 sometime when I used to live in the UK. One of my friends dragged me in a buying decision for his family car in India and I spent lot of time researching in forums whether to go for Chevvy Optra or Skoda Octavia. Got hooked into TBHP since that time.
Currently I run a Figo TDCi ZXi 2011 Sep model. My daily run is about 110 kms therefore I already crossed 1.15L kms in 4 years. TBHP helped in a very big way choosing this car and I am so grateful for that. Absolutely in love with this car and naturally I was instrumental in many Figo buying decisions around me later on(including some TBHP-ians). Ride, Handling, interior and Boot Space, ICE with BT and lastly hydraulic PS is just too good in my car and I am not in mood to part with it soon. May be after 1.5L kms, I will think about it
Recent addition to our family of cars is a Tata Zest 1.2 Revotron XM, my dad bought it replacing our 5 yr old Chevvy-UVA. Zest is fun to drive as well, specially when put into Sports-mode, its overall a very nice car from Tata stable.
That’s about me, wont bore you guys anymore. Looking forward to continue to learn from this knowledgeable forum and contribute as per my limited capabilities... |
