Team-BHP - Saying hello to the Kolkata people, and all over :)

- - Saying hello to the Kolkata people, and all over :) (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/introduce-yourself/43132-saying-hello-kolkata-people-all-over.html)

Hey folks,

Been following some of the posts on TBHP for sometime now, but this would be my first post. :).

Originally from Kolkata - Moved to Germany in 2006. Have always been a biker doing lots of trips from Kolkata from the age of 16 on my RE Mach A350.

I am on the process of getting a Swift VDI ABS soon for using in Kolkata and around India during my short trips (once a year, for approximately 3 weeks).

Hope to come across some guys from Kolkata through this thread.

Best Wishes

Indra

Hello Indra,
Welcome to T-BHP.

Do give a heads up when you are in town.

Germany you say? And all we have is a mention of a Swift ! C'mon spill it - what else have you driven/are you driving there :)

Hello Indra

Welcome to Team-BHP.

So you are in Germany - the land of the Nürburgring and the Autobahn. Hmmm Nice, so what car do you have there ?

Have you been to the Ring', if yes please do share your experiences with all of us.

Moreover, don't you think buying a diesel car would be an unnecessary investment if it's going to be used for only 3 weeks a year ?

IMHO a petrol Swift would also serve the purpose well.

Oh, lest I forget do go through the announcements section so as to better acquaint yourself about the rules and procedures followed here.

Happy posting !

Hi Indra,

Welcome to the forum.

By the way, your name sounds very familiar.:) Are you Indrajeet Sen ? Member of Hyderabad based Wanderers and 60kph ? Oops. Missed out Eastern Bulls.

Rajat

Hey All :)

Thanks for the welcome :)

@ Shuvc - Well, while I was studying I had a 10 year old 2.0 L VW Golf which had a top whack of 220. At the moment I drive a company Audi A6.

@ revvedup - Yes, I have been considering a Swift ZXI instead, but the fact that my mother would be using it - atleast for 1.5k km a month and my trips would e-a-s-i-l-y shoot up to 5k+ kms even for those 3 weeks. I think the diesel would be a good bet. A consideration would be also the Fiat 500 - but - It sells for 10k Euros here and the same things costs 14 Lakhs really put me OFF! :)

@ rajat - You got me correct there - the same guy who started Eastern Bulls. Your name rings a bell but I just can't place you - help me ?!

I would also have some queries for the Kolkata boys, hope the can help me out !

Great !!!

I think we spoke over phone once/twice while I was visiting Kolkata from Hyd (A part of wanderers then). We had planned to catch up but it didn't materialise.

Hi Indra, nice to another addition to the Kolkata gang... Do let us know the next time you are in Kolkata, we'll plan a meet around you visit.

Audi A6 is Sweet!! I and my friends had some great fun on the autobahns a few years back in an A4... but we still got a serious complex from the porches and ferraris zooming by at 250+ km/hr. :)

Cheers
Wim
