Default Today I named my Car

Lately, my Car has been participating in certain activities I cannot talk about on T-Bhp and I noted that the junta was having a slight problem referring to it. Someone was calling it "Eurolite", someone "golden-rims OHC" and others were like "goldie"

Considering the (a) above; and (b) performance Mods I have mentally lined up, I guess this was a good time to Name my OHC.

Ladizzz and the Gentelman's - A warm welcome to AFTERGLOW.

Apart from the fact that I love the song by INXS that goes by the same name, heres why I decided on this particular name:
  • Definition: The comfortable feeling following a pleasant experience
Absolutely what I feel after taking her for a spin.
  • Definition: A lingering impression of past glory or success.
Which is what I will go through my mind when I think of her several years down the line, when I shall be older and (hopefully) more sober. Those of you who've heard "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen probably can relate to what I mean.
  • The light emitted after removal of a source of energy.
This is tongue in cheek, but assuming my OHC to be a source of energy, this is what you will go through when/if I streak past you while you're pedal on metal in your say stock 125 bhp ride


Dinner waiting, more later.
