A few keystrokes after being here for 1 month

Last year, while reading reviews about a car(The great red shark; if you get it) came across a 'vintage run-down' looking website. It was nostalgic to just look at it, when yours truly has been into web designing as a part time hobby for all of his teenage years. Having said that, it was obvious to close the tab. Just then, the trained eyes of a doctor caught something the brain of a computer nerd missed; very-very rare to be seen in the online automotive world of India; rules!. Rules being announced on top the review section! To hell with the review yours truly had to first see what rules were these guys up-to.
To put it in GTO's words replacing the ₹8000 about car, "And that one click of the mouse was the best click I have ever spent on my computer(except for closing Internet Explorer, of-course)". There existed an online forum in India where people were actually following rules!
So, after following this iconic "vintage" website for months, yours truly tried to register himself and succeeded in the very first try, courtesy the military vehicle stories stuffed into the register-form learnt from EME corps retired grandpa and how these led an urge to learn more about cars. The urge now has been successfully turned into a full blown passion about anything on wheels.
Finally after one month on Team-BHP reading the meticulously created reviews and other threads, today I saw this 'Introduction' section for the first time, raising questions at my existence here at all.
So in order to complete the intro, I am right now an intern having completed my MBBS; trying to cruise on every inch Indian roads have to offer with the almighty XUV500 and crawling every corner the Pink City has to offer with the Škoda Superb.
That's all dear reader;
Team-BHP's truly.

And another doctor comes aboard...

Welcome to the forum, Doc. We look forward to your recounting grandpa's stories of military vehicles, as well as stories of your travels across India, even as you follow our rules! And when you're bored of cars and travel, pop across to this thread (Calling doctors/dentists/specialists on Team-BHP to provide free consultations) and dispense some free medical advice to us.

Calls us "vintage", but uses "internet explorer"

Nice choice of cars in the XUV500 & Skoda Superb. Hope to see a review thread or two.

Probably like this Mercury 1949 Coupé that is powered with Tesla performance motors, has 470lb of instantaneous torque and costs $350,000.

To the untrained eye, it's a vintage car.
