    I did my Mechanical & production Engineering, NOT AUTOMOBILE, at my days(at early '80s), think only AC tech had Automobile faculty among all the 9 engg colleges, which came under DOTE ( Directorate of technical education ) Tamil Nadu.
    @ Budding engineers : The reply to this quote may look, " Out off Topic"
    ,but had to know this, since the number of Engineering Colleges( @ Tamil Nadu) has crossed the 3 digit, think way heading to touch "K" s in near future.
    BTW..can some body suggest few Colleges offering Automobile Engineering with quality at TN ??? ( mean real quality)
    Sir I did my chemical engineering in AC Tech only and Automobile Engineering is in MADRAS INSTITUTE FOR TECHNOLOGY (chrompet campus) of Anna university and its one fine college for automobile engineering other options will search and do reply soon .....Really happy to reply you i get a goose flesh every time i see your thread enthralling....As of i knew in '80s too there was only chemical and leather technology in AC Tech; And really happy when you named my college

                A lovely moped from Majestic Auto ltd., INDIA., exact year of launch is a mystery though

                Have seen this at a Spanish site ( Indian moped at SPAIN...) from that day , some thing was going in my mind !!..& finally ..it happened...Yes ,I picked this Moped few days before !!


                & our fellow xbhpian Siva, enjoying a ride, after all he is also a STUDENT


                & finally its my turn to TWIST & Gooooooooo!!!! ( sorry ,excuse me for posting pics without Helmet)
