Proud to be a BHPian!

Hey fellow BHPians, a warm good evening to all

I am Rohan Mittal from the City Beautiful - Chandigarh. I have been residing in Mumbai for the past 4 years now and am heading the Strategy & Planning team for a logistics company. I completed my Civil Engineering from PEC (Chandigarh) and MBA from IIM Lucknow.

Cars, bikes and aircrafts have been my passion from the time i can remember. Graduated from playing with the small Mattel miniatures to my first set of wheels in engineering college when my Dad bought me a Bajaj Caliber! God knows what all memorable times I have had on that bike!

Bought my first car in 2007 when i landed in Mumbai - a pre-worshipped Maruti Zen (2003 model)! Have almost completed 1 lac km on the mean machine and it is still going strong (touch wood!). Bought another pre-worshiped car - Honda Civic (Sept 2009 model) in Jan 2011 and am trying to get its odometer to respectable numbers ever since

.

A self confessed audiophile, both cars boast of decent ICE systems:
Zen: pioneer head mated to MTX amp supporting JBL ovals and MTX sub
Civic: Pioneer touchscreen head with Focal amp, Foacl sub, Foacl speakers and Focal components!

In between the two cars, I was also lucky enough to be gifted an awesome Bullet Electra 350 from my brother (with a Chandigarh number plate

). This beauty emanates one of the sweetest exhaust music I have heard and is an absolute pleasure to ride!

Other than staring at these 3 beauties, I keep myself busy with books, movies, music, gaming (PC/PS) and poker (die-hard addict)!

Look forward to connect on the forum!

Cheers
Rohan

Nice sets of wheels you got.

Thanks amitoj! Have been browsing tbhp for quite some time now (how did you figure that out??)! in fact my civic was inspired by GTO's buy! Before I read his thread on pre-worshipped Civics, i was jittery about buying a used 15 lac car (and that too with a low CG!

).

Would have been a part of this forum a few months ago but my membership request was shot down

This was kind of 3rd time lucky!

Hehe the word " pre worshipped" is kind of local to tbhp. I dont think second hand car dealers have picked it up yet.
