with all due respect, I am one of the very early members of PakWheels, have worked vert closely with Hanif Bhai and was part of both admin and mod team, all i can and will say is that Sunil NEVER formed PW nor it was his idea nor he was ever part of founding members, it was Hanif Bhatti, it was started in basement of HB's house in PECHS Karachi. I joined back in 2004, he joined in 2006 FFS

I would give this to Sunil that he took PW and made it a commercial success but him taking credit for everything is just plain wrong.

Jug had already made the classified and everything for PW so it's not like Sunil did anything on the development side.

Attaching few pictures

He calls himself the co-founder of PakWheels instead of the founder. Can you share why did you quit PakWheels?

He was NEVER a co-founder. I don't know why he says that. Old school PW members are still in touch with each other and we meet regularly, things just changed when HB left, we were at Hanif bhai's house just a week before Ramzan when another old PW'er was here from Islamabad (Saqib bhai aka Spectra, he runs famous workshop Hamsafar Autos in Islamabad, highly recommended) and we were remembering and missing old times

I watch pakwheels religiously on YouTube, I always get amazed on cars that I never knew people in Pakistan owned like the rx7.
the only Pakistani professional car channel and platform I see online. Reminds me of autotrader but much better.

We have lots of FDs in Pakistan, especially in Peshawer, people love RX-7s over there. Look at this PakWheels auto show that took place in 2019 in Lahore.

HOW DARE YOU NOT MENTION EVO? We have so many Evos in Pakistan, most of them are Evo 5,6,7 and 9.

hahahah yes its blasphemous as my friends say "baqai kai samnay bachi hu ya evo tu baqai hameesha evo ku hi dekhay ga" lol

We also have a Evo X by the way, also there is a WRX and a STI here also, other's which are coming to my mind are DB9, DB7, Lotus Elise, Several AMG's, M5s, M3s

I have been out of track scene for ages now ... there are friends who are still very much active in both rally as well as in underground scene
