Introduce yourself!

[thambu19]

Hey Folks,
We have been chatting here for a while about PFI/DI, AVCS, Tunes, Mods etc. I would like to add a personal touch to it by saying hello and introducing ourselves. I know some of us will not be able to reveal full details for all sorts of reasons. So no worries if you want to keep some info discrete like the place you work or what you do etc.

Thanks Cop - maybe Sri was looking for introductions from a more focused group that are interested in learning the intricacies of self-tuning their cars. It's pretty easy to get lost in that other huge thread.
