I'm here! Hello everyone Hello Team-BHPians,
At last, after many attempts that never seemed to end, I am here. I would like to thank GTO and all moderators of Team-BHP for approving my request to join this outstanding forum.
I am a male, 35 years old and originally from Kerala. I have been a resident of Bangalore for the past 10 years, working in the field of computer network security. I got introduced to Team-BHP in late 2008 when my urge to own a car began. After much research and considering a lot of information available on the forum, I bought my first car - a Swift VXI - in 2009. That was a gem of a vehicle and stayed with me till 2015. Meanwhile, I have also been using a Zen LX 2004 (My uncle's car) extensively for my office commute. That car is still with my family and it recently completed a 1700km trip to Vadodara from Kerala without breaking a sweat - speaks loads about that car's reliability even after 13 years. In 2015, I felt the need to own a bigger and better car. Again, Team-BHP came to my rescue. After all research and deliberations, I decided to swim against the tide and bought a Fiat Linea Tjet Emotion on December 2015 and gave away my dear Swift in the process. While I had a strong urge to buy one Honda City instead, I decided to go for the supposedly better build quality of Fiat and break out from the herd mentality. Now I feel that was one of my best decisions ever.
Come 2017 and my better half started expressing her desire to drive and thus our search for an automatic car began. Combined that with my secret desire for a sleeper hothatch, getting a VW Polo GT TSI was a no brainer. On second week of September, the gorgeous Candy White vehicle got parked in our parking lot. Owning two turbocharged petrol beasts, I decided to try once again to join the forum with my current handle and voila! It worked!!
Apart from interest in vehicles, I am an avid collector of multi tools, especially rare Victorinox knives. Got a collection of 50 plus multitools and counting. I have a small collection of flashlights as well.
Looking forward to having a great time and interacting with the extremely knowledgeable members here.
Cheers!! |
