Hi Nice People,

I am Rahul from pune.
I have registered on this board about a few eons back...but did not visit often
after that.

Pardon my bad netiquettes for not introducing myself when i Registered.
I am a regular on RDDREAMS and in some serious love with bikes

.

I was working as Test Engineer with DaimlerChrysler India Pvt Ltd for a year and thats when i started appreciating Cars as objects of desire.

I currently drive a 2003 Indica V2 diesel (Boring) and occasionally my Dad's Optra.

Will be more regular after this

Hello Rash,

Goodness you took a long while. Good to have you here. You sound like a person that can contribute greatly to this forum.

Tell us about the year you were a test engineer for Daimler India. I am sure many would like to hear more about it.

Welcome to team-BHP!!

Welcome Rahul,

This must be a forum record, first post or introduction 29 months after registering.

I've had my fare share of Test Driving too

Oh..also worked on that big Actros Truck 3340K or somethig like that...
All the truckdrivers that use to park outside the DC compound use to refer to the Actros as "Tata Ka Volvo"
