Namaskara!!! - Team-BHP

Joz · 1st October 2005, 18:15

Alrighty motorheads... this is something i had been intending to do for quite some time (signed up in June you see)... myself Jose, born in cochin, brought up in coimbatore and been in bangalore for the last 8 years. Currently earn my dough giving 'strategic business gyan' to companies in the automotive industry.

Been passionate about cars from the time i can remember... the first car i owned was a Lancia hatchback (imported by my uncle way back in 1983. Now that's interesting right! Wait till you hear about about my 2nd car, a black and white poliz car with the works! Neways, 20 years down the line, things haven't changed much. Still drive around in a toy car, the e-generation bread and butter - Maruti Alto!.

Lost the plot didn't I. An Alto... yawn!. Actually i have been more of a bike guy until recently (i still am ). Own a 94 make Shogun (love the 3rd gear on this bike). Would have also owned a Morris Minor.. but lost the bid by 5K :(. Love motorsport too and managed to do a 250 km TSD too.

Well so there you are.. my past and present, some lost soul who claims to love cars and also loves to excercise the freedom of speech (the post makes it clear, ain't it)!

Happened to chance on tbhp, thanks to google. And i must say, this forum rocks. A great bunch of folks, brought together by a greater passion. The no show all go sense of this forum is the best part... all credit to the mods and ofcourse the super-admin behind it all. Great going guys.

Sorry abt the long post... but don't worry, there shall not be many of this kind further down... you guys definitely know everything i might probably know and a whole lot more, so i shall be more of a listner from now on!!!

Am sure tbhp would remain my homepage for a real long time now.

Happy revving ppl!!!
