Great to be part of the TEAM Hi all T-BHPians and thanks to the moderators for letting me in.
For all those wondering how this guy decided upon CAPTAIN REX, here goes - I work in the Merchant Navy and am a Captain, sailing on container ships with a Singapore based company. REX was my nick name while in school and that name is still stuck to me.
I am from Kanhangad, in Kerala State.
I was always facinated in cars and bikes and had been following T-BHP for quite a long time.
My first attempt to join T-BHP sometime last year was rejected. Neither lost hope nor stopped from going through T-BHP, even though being rejected frusterated me.
I presently have a Volswagen Vento HL Diesel and an Avenger 200. The wife uses an automatic Hyundai I10 Asta.
I love driving and do a lot of driving. I do not prefer travelling by trains or buses and always try to drive to which ever place I have to go. Travelling to anywhere in Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh has been either by car or on a bike. For the rest of the country, have been forced to use trains or flights.
I learnt driving while I was 13 or 14 years old on my dad's VW beetle, while we were abroad, and since then have been driving.
My first car which I bought when I started earning was a Maruti 800, in 1996. Since then I owned a Ford Ikon 1.3, Wagon R and a Chevrolet Aveo 1.6LT before settling with the Vento.
For the past 2 years have been facinated by the Mahindra Thar and I am waiting for the day when Mahindra does some modification to the interiors and make it more pleasing to the eyes. Till then I shall keep waiting and watching.
Happy and safe driving/riding to all T-BHP friends. |
