Proud to be here! Hello all,
I am Shobhit (25), and am presently based in Bangalore. I hail from Lucknow.
I have been hooked onto engines since I was little. The first driving experience I had was of a very old (1954) Ford Tractor that has been in my family. Subsequently I have driven to atleast a few thousand kilometers a Mahindra Jeep (1986 make), Fiat Padmini Premier (1990 make), Maruti Gypsy (1991), Maruti 800(1993 make), Maruti Alto Lx (1997 make), Maruti Wagon R (2006 make). All these vehicles were within my family and I have driven them in variety of road, traffic and climate conditions. Churned out to be a decent driver, I was !
I relocated to Bangalore 3 years back, and am running a startup here with partners/friends and enjoying every bit of it. We are into Defence and Space Avionics. Presently I drive around a Safari 2.2 DICOR (company owned) and a 4X 4 Maruti Gypsy (very close friend who is more in Delhi than Bangalore), and my ever reliable Bajaj Avenger 200 (been to 3 roadtrips on my Avy averaging 700 km each, and all done in continuous downpur ). I am an avid food hunter and one of the primary motivations for my trips is to try out variety of food ! Best till date "Kodagu Pork" at Bhagmandala.
Waited quite some time to know/understand the community here before introducing me formally! Would love to contribute as anad when I can.
