Thanks Eddie and Pradip.

A little more about me? I like old cars. My ride is a 1978 Mercedes 280 SLC in powder blue with beige leather interiors and the wood trims. My other rides were an Alfa I'm looking for a car here that is similar but don't know much about the scene here. Perhaps the Fiat club is a good idea!

I like cars, golf, music, photography, wine, food and beer, not necessarily in that order.

Here in Bangalore with my wife, who has a soft spot for older cars too (which helps

)

I'm not so familiar with how to post this, but here goes... Meet Percy the Mercy (wife named him...)

Spent 2 years refurbishing the car - paint, bodywork, engine, transmission, shocks, springs, A/C, tuning, steering, everything below the chassis and around it basically. Its rock solid now.

And then i moved to Bangalore...
