New entrant from Pune A big Hello to all esteemed members of the forum. I am Siddhartha and I hail from Pune. I work with the Indian Armed Forces and as such have been moving around the whole country for last two decades or so. In the last two decades or so I got an opportunity to operate a couple of really fast warbirds and also do a lot of technical evaluations of these awesome machines.
Before I move forward, I need to acknowledge the fact that over the years I have gained so much of know-how about automotive stuff and have been successful in replicating many a DIYs. Car detailing was my favorite topic back then and it did lead to a lot of pampering for my SX4. And then as the responsibilities grew and job profiles changed, car and bike loving activities did take a bit of a back seat leading to my confession next.
I must also confess that this is my second ID on teambhp ( request the moderators to please pardon the offence). I do not have access to the mail id i used to create that ID anymore and though i have followed the forum closely over the years, I did not really access that ID(Created in 2006). I pray that the mods would excuse me for this. Now, I am at a stage wherein I do have some time to be more active on this forum and therefore this new ID.
In the past I have owned a Swift, then an SX4 (The third to reach Leh, as informed to me on this forum in my incomplete travelogue), and now a Ciaz and Kwid (Better half loves this car). I just sold off my 8 year old Ciaz to Cars24 two days back. Also, I have booked a Tata Safari XZA+ on 30 Jan and can hardly wait to get my hands on it.
The decision to book the Safari was taken after multiple test drives of the car and its rivals. A big contributory factor was the hours of reading up about the car on this forum. And now the wait which seems endless even though its just 10 days now. Any heads up on the practical time lines to get a Royal Blue colored one XZA+ 7-seater would help ease the agony of waiting.
Looking forwards to years of healthy and continued interaction on the forum. ![Smile](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png) |
