Hi GTO, just saw this post albeit a bit late. In absence of new cars for review (assuming the situation hasn't changed too much in a month's time), how about reviewing some old ones/launches that usually witness good traffic on the website. I for one would wish, you guys to review Kicks :D

Our community is so well-behaved that the most common Reported Posts are for things like “long quotes” or back-to-back posting. Serious offenses such as poorly typed posts are like once in 4 – 5 days, personal attacks may be once in a fortnight, trolling once / month and abusive language perhaps once in 2 – 3 months. Hat's off to the impeccable posting standards of BHPians!

Some more trivia on "Reported Posts". About 15% of them are "self" reported posts where a BHPian wants a correction in his post (typos, wrong data), a deletion (because of accidental double posting) and merge requests (inadvertent back-to-back posting).

Most members are polite, with a please or thank you in the request. A few aren't ("correct the typo in my post").

TBH this thread is just mind blowing. I didn't know a lot of detail about the Team-BHP forum and website and this just enlightens me to another level. I never knew about Team-BHP until I started my search for a new car for our family and now I really miss everything that has happened here and I couldn't be a part of. It's truly amazing man seriously. I'm in love with Team-BHP right now, everything available here, everything I have read till now and everything I'm gonna be reading in the near future, is gonna be super exciting. Excellent stuff here seriously.

P.S:- I was also rejected thrice for registration here and then sent a formal reply on why I am being rejected. Bloody hell, I was replied by GTO himself stating me to register again and he will get me approved.
Thanx GTO, for getting me through here. It's really worth it. Didn't know that I would get addicted to Team-BHP in such short time.

Happy Birthday!!!.. just loved the traffic graph.. its like a ECG of a very healthy person:)

Correct me, If I am wrong. I presume Team-BHP's Birthday is on 14 February.

Wishing TeamBHP a sweet 16th birthday.. One additional thing other than reviews that has always helpful for me is the sales analysis, it has always given us an indepth summary about how our Indian market scenario has been evolving..

:OT I think what they're saying really in this case, is that they really like the erstwhile Endeavour's that were built, with the 3.2 liter monster. Completely understandable viewpoint, that. /sarcasm

Birthday Greetings and a Big Thankyou to Team-BHP for 16 successful years of its completion. I have been reading Team-BHP since the time I started to explore some travel destinations for my family in 2015. I wanted to be part of the forum but somehow was not qualified. I was taken aback, but finally, just a couple of days ago I am in. By now I have replaced my car with an Innova to fit my family well. Thanks to reviews and various aspects that I could research on Team-BHP.

Believe it will be a wonderful experience and learning here on this platform.

God Bless.

However, why don’t you give us some information on yourself.

Please introduce yourself to the Team-BHP family here: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/introduce-yourself/

Also you might want to read this first: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/intro...roduction.html

We are waiting for your Introduction followed by your Innova ownership review.

The 3 most common typos on Team-BHP & our membership applications are:

- Break instead of brake

- Maruthi instead of Maruti

- Built instead of build (e.g. I like the Ford Endeavour's built)

Maruthi should be treated differently. Similar to behaviour vs behavior, colour vs color :) Which English do we use here ?

I see lot of instances of choose/chose, loose/lose being used wrongly.

There is no choice of dialect/diction in case of "Maruti"/"Maruthi". Its referring to a registered trademark that is registered as Maruti. It actually isnt open for interpretation per se. :D
