Hello everyone out there !!!,

I am Gursharan Bains, 48, Ex Marine enginer with 23 years service at sea. Quit last year after 10 years as Chief engineer (Chief).

On board ships we are use to horse powers in thousands, with the largest in service developing around 108,000 bhp at 103 rpm, My personal best was a container ship rated at 32,800 bhp at 91 rpm.

Switching to automobiles, I do not have a lot of bhp here, I drive a 2002 Esteem limited edition, a 1988 maruti 800, a 1998 standard Bullet 350, and a 1995 Kinetic Honda DX.

I am also a serious radio control aeromodeller, and have five fixed wing models of wing span upto 64 inches.

Presently teaching Marine engineering at Talegaon, near pune city.

Looking forward to good interaction here.

Best regards
Chief
