Hello People,
It's been over 13 years, since I've lived in India. I must say that it's great to be back. Although, I was just next door in Muscat, Oman I was quite disconnected from many things that I've treasured while I was in Chennai. This move has rekindled my spirits and the first step is of course to get to know people - especially of similar interests.
I left as an automotive person and ended up becoming a journalist - yea, go figure. However, some things you never forget; like the RD350. I had started out tuning at 16 by adding magnesium powder to fuel in my Bajaj Sunny and ended my Indian adventure after building a 42hp RD350 that ran the Magic Ton in fourth.
Since a person's life in this forum is measured in automotive terms, I shall simply share in chronological order the vehicles I've owned:
1993 Bajaj Sunny, 1986 Rajdoot Yamaha 350, 1996 Enfield Bullet Machismo, 1996 Suzuki Shogun, 1998 Suzuki GSX-F750, 2003 Hyundai Getz, 2004 Honda VTR1000SP2, 1993 Ford Explorer, 1995 Mercury Sable, 1998 Ford Explorer, 1989 Mercury Cougar, 2002 Ford Explorer, 2005 Kawasaki ZRX1200 ELR, 1998 Chevrolet Malibu, 2001 Ford Taurus, 2009 Ford Mustang, 2008 Honda CBR600RR, 2009 Harley Davidson XR1200, 2012 Toyota Camry and finally back in Chennai with a 1962 HM Ambassador. This probably gives a fellow "petrol head" what madness runs in my mind.
I have some knowledge that I've accumulated over the years, and I'd be pleased to share with anyone who asks. Do allow me the same.
Keep the faith,
Rathish.
