Hi to BHPians from a Punter in Bangalore

Aquarian20 · 30th November 2009, 15:30

Hi to one and all,

I finally got to join the best auto forum I have ever visited. A Big thanks to the moderators for giving me this opportunity. I have owned and driven cars in USA and India.
I used to own following cars in USA
1. 2001 Daewoo Lanos-Sports.
2. 2005 Nissan Maxima
I presently own 2009 Fiat Punto MJD - Electric Blue in Bangalore, India. The reviews and the information provided by all the BHPians proved to be a great help in my decision of purchasing Punto-MJD over all the other options I had. A big thanks to one and all at Team-BHP. I bought the Punto on Aug 1st 2009 and have already driven close to 7000 kms. I have loved every moment I spent with my Punto. I hope I can contribute back to Team-BHP as much as I can.

Thanks once again,
A Punter.

Welcome to the group dude. Just go through the rules section once before posting. So one more bangalorean added to BHP team and one more Punto. Dude you have done 7000 in just 4 monthjs. Are you eating miles as your food or what. Do post your initial impression(now this doesn't stand i think after 7k kms). Do post your ownership impression in appropriate section.

Thanks Shishir. I have done some short trips and one long trip and the result is odo reading of 7000. I had to cancel couple of long trips due to unavailability of leaves or I would have crossed 10000 by now. I just love driving around places and Punto is an ideal companion. I will post a detailed ownership experience in appropriate section. Thanks once again.

ms001, Karthik247, Phamilyman, Samish_g Thanks for the kind word and reading my introduction. Yes, I will definitely enjoy my stay here. And yes, as ms001 pointed out "punting" is the term for having fun with one's Punto in Grande style.
