Team-BHP @ 18 | Now old enough to get a Driving Licence

Our baby is now an adult, all of eighteen years old.

GTO recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

As a father would say, "I can't believe you've turned 18! How the years have passed". Our baby is now an adult, all of eighteen years old.

Time to hand over the sacred keys:

It honestly feels just like yesterday that we took the "team-bhp.com" domain live, had merely 14 users online and thought, "wow, we're so busy". Today, we have 40-lakh monthly readers!

A wise man once said "content is king" and IMHO, that's even more important for a website. We find ourselves in an age of information overload - too many sources, too much content & too much noise (including social media) - so if you're loyal to Team-BHP....well, thank you & a hat tip to our BHPians who continue building this special community.

On this birthday, let us all celebrate our content. Tell me about your favorite / most valued / eye-opening / life changing / heartwarming post or thread & share the link here. It could either be your selecting someone else's posts / threads, or your own...show us something you're proud of. Please also share a summary of why its your favourite! We’ve done so much in these 18 years - heck, there are a whopping 2-lakh threads on Team-BHP! What's your favourite? Could be a review. Could be a travelogue. Could be anything.

What inspired you? What moved you?

Mine is the 12th birthday thread. The memories contained in there just show why this has been a heck of a journey. I am also very proud of the automotive trivia thread which I thought was super unique, as well as my 2nd-gen Thar Review which followed no format, and was written straight from the heart one fine morning (very free-flowing informal language). The one story I enjoyed telling all of you BHPians was how press & media drives work. Wish someone had told me all that before I went for my first, the Ritz test-drive in 2009! Dad meeting his old flame, the W111? What a day!

Threads & Posts by other BHPians that moved my soul

When Turbanator & V.Narayan showed why they are better human beings than me & you. BHPian no_fear's incredible, unbelievable Ducati story which was all about resilience...and luck! I've read drive2eternity's ORR parody 100 times and it still makes me ROTFLMAO, as does his take on RMZ EcoWorld. IMHO, the camaraderie on Team-BHP is unbeatable - witness how a BHPian bought a motorcycle from another, without even any meetings or checkups. Can anyone forget Karl's story on how a stolen Fiat was recovered because of a BHPian, or Rudra's iconic write-up on what makes Team-BHP a special place. Leoshashi's birthday celebration was the cutest I've ever seen.
