Hi Everyone,

I'm from Pune and am working in IT. I came across Team-BHP exactly a year ago when I was researching the Scorpio in Jul 2006. After reading a few threads, I was hooked and have been a (passive) Team-BHP addict ever since.

The quality and depth of discussion here is simply amazing. I recently decided to look out for a second car and found every question (that I woke up with each morning) already discussed and answered here. Petrol v/s diesel, sedan v/s SUV, Scorpio v/s safari - it's all here; this is by far the best automotive forum on the net.

Well to tell you about myself, I have a background in mechanical engineering and a passion for software. That explains my current career choice. I'm also an avid DIYer though most of my projects have been in carpentary and household electrical stuff.

I currently own a Santro Zip Drive and find it to be one of the most practical and comfortable cars for the city. It has been my trusty steed for the last 6 years and has not had a single day of problem. I came close to selling it off last month (in anticipation of buying a bigger vehicle) but couldn't get myself to do it. So have now planned to keep it as long as it will run and pamper it with some new ICE, alloys, etc.

On a final note, I would like to thank GTO & the rest of the Team-BHP staff, for giving us petrol/diesel heads a home of our own on the net.

Cheers,
