Hello BHPians,
I am super-excited to contribute my first post for my LIFE a.k.a team-bhp.
My love for cars could be traced back to 15 years when my father subscribed for automotive magazines and i spent more time turning the pages of them than my mathematics textbook.My father is the biggest car-freak i have ever seen, he took us to places across length and breadth of southern India in our not-so-reliable 1974 model Premier Padmini which was later accompanied by maruti esteem in 1997,both of which are still there.While Esteem is still being used on a reguar basis,the old horse Premier Padmini is doing what it is best at - resting
Speaking about my life a.k.a team-bhp,It all started
just-less-than-a-decade ago in the cyber café's of "Bengaluru" where boys of my age used to gather in numbers to play counter-strike over LAN and i would be the only one gazing at the 14" CRT monitors with pictures of modified
Mitsubishi lancer all over the screen. The trend continued after i got an internet connection at home and i was among the first one in my class in my college to get a smartphone and within a couple of days team-bhp launched its android app and i "religiously" followed team-bhp in the last benches of my class and ended up behind yet another 14" LCD monitor as a software engineer. There is "at least" one tab of team-bhp when i am working on the computer,it acts as
red bull to me, it keeps me refreshed from my monotonous work if not
gives-me-wings!If i had a track of my number of visits to team-bhp ,i am pretty sure that the number would have exceeded all the other websites combined.
When it comes to Cars,SUV's have always had a special place in my heart. This special place was dominated by Hummer,H3 to be precise.Of all the cars i have driven till now,the car which i enjoyed driving the most - Mercedes-Benz A-Class A 200 CDI,the combination of paddle-shifts and sports mode was an absolutely thrilling experience .One car that i would love to have in my garage is Mitsubishi Pajero 2.8(Previous gen)with a snorkel,a bull bar,a pair of light force lights,a 45mm lift to the suspension,a mini-ladder on its 5th door and AT tyres,apart from the never-ending wish list of absolutely-lovely machines where the pole position is grabbed by a Lamborghini Aventador with Capristo exhaust.
The addition of a new car to my family is around-the-corner and i shall be starting an ownership thread on it.Special thanks to all the Moderators,support and every member of team-bhp for their contribution to the best thing ever happened to me - team-bhp.
PS : The next time i update my resume i will mention under my achievements that i got my team-bhp membership in my first attempt
