  • Old Member but a New Team-BHP Fan

    Name: Ashwin Iddya
    Age: 30 years
    Occupation: I run a small internet search engine marketing firm in Bangalore.

    Rides:

    Hero Puch (2 Gear) – Served me well in college
    Yamaha RXG – My ride on my first job
    1.8 Optra LT – My drive after becoming an accidental entrepreneur

    Car related interests:

    – Serious amount of out-of-bangalore travel with friends. The car has done 100,000 km in 5 years. Plus my friend’s car which is used for such holidays has done another 30,000 km in the same period.

    – Buying new tyres – for some reason, I love the grip and ride quality of the car in new tyres 🙂

    – For some reason, I find all cars "good" – whether it is driving a Fiat Uno or a Hyundai Accent.

    – I like cars with good ride quality. I don’t like revving too much. However, on empty ghat roads, the devil takes over sometimes.

    Non-car related interests:

    I’m an avid stock market investor. 90% of my savings have been going into equities since I started earning in the year 2000.

    And before you ask, I think ‘Hero Honda’ is the best automobile stock to buy in India.

    Why Team-BHP:

    Although I joined team-bhp long time back, I didn’t have the time for it. But now I have become a big fan because of all those new car reviews (Figo, Beat, Cruze, Manza etc) that hit Team-BHP before I get my hands on Autocar India or Overdrive
