Hi There,
At the outset I choose to introduce myself as "Srinivas" and currently reside in Bahrain. I head Middle East operations for a US based MNC and have been a car lover (Hope will improve to be called a Enthusiast) for a while now.
I own a Maruti 800 (1998 - White - Bought New) back home (Chennai) and have not sold it yet for it was my First Car and I simply love it. Its clocked about 50 K (KMS) to date and absolutely brilliant. The only modification (If i can please say that) is that I have cut the Gear shift by about 2 Inches and replaces the Boot (the rexine cover that MUL gives) with a Esteem Rubber Boot (Note : Previous model Rectangular one). I intend to improve the feel and performance of car as selling it is way out of the question. The only regret is that the 1997 model was a Carb based model !!! How I wish it was the injected model (Sigh !!). I plan having a Free Flow Exhaust and a Ait filter (a k&n) types installed and please do suggest if it will make a difference as it is a Carb Model.
The biggest blunder of my Automotive life (Well the wee little one that i have) is allowing my folks to sell the 1976 Fiat 1100 D car which we had and was single owned !!!
.
My interests, well I love music of any kind exceptions of Heavy Metal of course. I love to travel and the best part my job requires me to travel around the world which is a super bonus !!!!
Future plans , intend to buy a convertible car (San storm - Based on affordability) , a 4x4 and a regular car (maybe a honda city types). Seems like I will buy a Used Gypsy for it will take care of the convertible and the 4x4 need !!! Yes I have read the threads on the gypsy !!!
My favorite pass time includes playing with my Hamster, and fooling around with my R/C ferrari (Spider)(Who says ferrari's are unafordable ???) and my R/C Helicopter !!!
I wish to thank all of the folks who's posts i have read on various issues and keep up the super good work folks !!!
Rgds,
Srini
