First up its great to be a part of the TEAM BHP Family.
Rejected twice by the mods,

my registration was finally approved today on my bday ( thanks for the bday gift mods, u rock! ).
Today I turn 23, completed computer engg. last may, got placement accenture and infy, joined accenture and left them in 6 days coz dad needed help with business.
So now I am a businessman and we make Kitchen Ventilation Systems for hotels, restaurants, industrial canteens. Done the ventilation for Skoda's Aurangabad Plant, VW's Chakan Plant ( its huge ), Merc's Chakan Plant and dealt with Wasan Motors as well ( Franchisee for Mainland China ).
I had heard a lot about Team BHP from friends and even saw stickers on cars ( one palio has it in my office ). My sales consultant at VW Downtown asked me to join the forums as he knows I am a car crazy brat

. U have to visit it to believe and so I did and knew it was quite different from ACI and OD forums. it was a no-nonsense , unbiased and honest community which had the guts to say tht this car is below par and this czech company should get their act together ( u know whom im talking about ).
I love cricket ( ST is my mentor ) and played professional for many years, shifted to my new place so will play there as well. Football (staunch Manchester United and Barcelona Supporter ) & who can forget F1!! All hail KIMI RAIKKONEN, am part of the mafia on orkut and i follow a philosophy, watever he endorses I buy. Have followed f1 from 1999 and have always been a fan of Finnish drivers and Mclaren Mercedes.
I like VWs and Audis and no more a fan of Skoda ( thanks to Team BHP ).

My dad's first car was a second hand Premier Padmini, upgraded to M800 to Alto to Getz . The big Baby ( my dad's gift to me ) after a wait of six long years ( I shifted loyalties many times ) is a Volkswagen Passat Crdi 2010 Chassis delivered on 1st April 2010. So the VW and Getz share the garage.

My next car would be the polo / golf ( saw the pics on the forums and just hope that it comes soon ) & the 7-seater Touareg thats been launched abroad.

I was going through the forums and discovered that the guys wanted the ownership experience of a Passat owner, so im gonna fulfill the need. ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR ACCEPTING ME INTO YOUR FOLD TEAM BHP!!
