Anyone here an Auto Journalist - Team-BHP

tsk1979 · 17th January 2006, 15:44

TBHP has members who are employed in overdrive etc.,(I wont mention any names due to privacy concerns). But there will be some working in Auto Journalism field who dont mind disclosing the fact. So c'mon guys, who among you are with the Auto Mags(or rags), and dont mind admitting.

TSK,

There are a TON of journalists visiting Team-BHP on an everday basis. Forget that, there are also numerous car manufacturers etc. who are our regular visitors.

Havent you noticed how many stories in these magazines are influenced by us? Total cost of ownership, Optra 1.6 vs NHC, the Bose suspension story, what garage for 5 crores etc.

after being on team bhp for some time most auto journalists sound so dumb to me there are a few that i really respect but other ones are so pathetic.

tsk1979 · 18th January 2006, 10:46

I know one too. But am not revealing. He was in delhi for Auto Expo, but we couldn't meet :d

Rtech · 18th January 2006, 11:48

I think if the journalist's on our site wanted to be known, they would have made themselves public by now. Starting a thread asking them to reveal themselves is really not going to get them to do that.

Ok. Here is a technique to reveal the name of the Auto Journo:

OverDrive sucks
Autocar sucks
TopGear sucks

So the angry man replying would be the one!.. ha ha

tsk1979 · 18th January 2006, 13:51

I doubt they will bite. People get worked up on false allegations, nobody is going to be angry at truth

islero · 18th January 2006, 14:13

If we have an angry amn replying, its gonna be from Overdrive......

I dont mind Topgear, at least the non-indian articles......LOL

tsk1979 · 18th January 2006, 14:28

Speaking of overdrive, have you read the Jan edition. They have been harping about the made in india tag. The best auto magazine, not by Brits etc., but by Indians LOL
No doubt taking a dig at TopGear/autocar/Car.
