Hey guys thanks for the replies........

Ok bit more about car and me.....

Well the car is a 96 ASC S3 ,M3 GTR, there were 500 built in boston green, 500 in Avus Blue, 500 in Imola Red.... Mine is in Avus blue....

the Whole car was prepped by Ac Schinitzer, from engine to suspension..... the body is thin gauge steel, brakes are AP racing 4 piston front and back, On super unleaded back in england she was rolling roaded for 340BHP, bearing in mind 3.2 litres, that is about as max as you can go with NA tuning, strapping on a Supercharger or turbo is a waste as you loose all the response of an engine.... it looses it's character..... The car had about 300 KG's stripped off, as it was used alot on track...... and as you can guess i don't get to drive it alot here on the road...... it sits way too low to the ground..... Just goes out occassionally....

as for me i work for Rolls Royce, i have only been based in India now for the past 6 years..... I work in R&D manily in maunfacturing design and development how to build the car.....

thats all for now i guess.... talk to you all soon!!!!

I think you were interviewed by one or more newspapers or mags when you imported this car to Trivandrum..

Is that correct?
I am sure you are going to be pinned down by questions from fellow TBHPians regarding RR and thier philosophy, work culture etc. etc. soon....

Welcome aboard my friend.
Nice car you have there if I may say so. I am sure my fellow Bhp’s would agree with me. Interesting job you have ,any time you wanna change places , the cheetah will oblige happily.

Looking forward to hearing from you and some nice technical analysis on Indian Cars as well as the one you work for.

Keep it up and once again welcome to Team Bhp.
