Hi everyone! Hi all,
Here is a long time viewer joining the forum after my membership got approved, really glad to be here. Thanks moderators.
I am 43 years old, co-founder of a startup that we founded in Helsinki (Finland), and am mostly based in Ahmedabad nowadays. (where I was born and brought up). I have studied and subsequently worked in the UK and Finland, and returned 5 years ago to the motherland. I have a background in research and academics before founding the startup.
I currently own:
Mahindra Thar Petrol AT HT (as of Wednesday last week).
Tata Hexa XTA (2017, 2nd owner purchased in 2019).
Family owns:
Ford Figo Aspire Titanium (2016).
Mahindra Xylo (2009).
Previously owned (UK, all pre-owned):
Nissan Sunny, 1.4 Petrol (1994). Much loved, used and abused. Bought it as a student and drove it all across the UK. Sold it for BMW.
BMW 316i Petrol (1997). Owned it for 3 years before moving to Nissan Primera. One of the most fun to drive car I've owned. I still remember cornering at 40-50mph on beautiful Cheshire roads.
Skoda Fabia 1.9 SDI (2001). Wife had this for a while. Nothing much to write about.
Nissan Primera 2.0 SVE Diesel Estate. (2007). Our family workhorse that never complained.
Nissan Terrano II 3.0 SVE (2003). Really fun off-roader that was used as a family car after we sold the Fabia. I then took it with me to Finland and drove it with the steering wheel on the "wrong side" for 4 years! We drove it across Europe a few times and it never gave a reason to complain. Finally sold it to a farmer in northern Finland who was (and probably still is) very happy to have it!
Currently owned Bike:
RE Continental GT (2015, pre-owned). Red. A fun to ride bike that I use over the weekend and sometimes to commute to office.
Previously owned:
Bajaj Caliber (2000, red). Bought it as a student but only used it for 2 years before I moved out.
That's it folks. In my spare time (which is getting sparser by the day) I do like travelling, photography and reading.
Happy to contribute whenever I can.
Thanks for your time.
Best,
Bhargav |
