So one Saturday morning, not very long ago, I had to get up very early (very early for me anyway) – earlier than I get up on any weekday. Now you may ask, what was the purpose of this, it was to drive the new Toyota Corolla Altis! The last time I talked about Toyota [...]

The big buzz this past weekend (especially in the automotive world) was about the VW Das Auto Show at Bukit Jalil stadium, we really knew very little about it when we were invited. There’s not many things that can get me up so early in the morning – but cars are one of them! We [...]

You may remember when I changed my tyres back in October 2009 – Project Airtrek — Choose Tyres For Your Car — Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo , well those tyres officially wore out a couple of weeks ago. So bad in fact that I stopped driving the car for a while. I decided to change rims [...]

I was recently tasked with testing out the new Ford Fiesta Sport, apparently the best selling car in Europe for 2010! I’ve also heard a lot of journalists that test drove the car…went ahead and bought the car – that is quite an acclaim. I’m not so much into the small segment cars, but I [...]

I recently had the chance to try out the new Crossover from Mitsubishi known as the ASX (Active Smart X-over), it’s a new genre of car which is becoming very popular. It has the utility of an SUV but the driving characteristics of a sedan. It’s quite a fierce looking car and very well specced [...]

I like motorsports, that’s just how it is. I’m not a huge fan of F1, I kind of lost interest during the Schumacher days when there was no point watching because you knew who was going to win. I’ve always been a bigger fan of Rally! It’s more exciting, more dangerous, technically more challenging to [...]

I had quite the weekend on August 27th/28th. It started out extremely early…rather too early for my liking – in fact I still consider it the middle of the night waking up at 6.15am..it wasn’t even light yet! This was due to the fact Johnnie Walker, the world’s number one selling Scotch whisky gave 48 [...]

After the first major 2-part service I thought I’d be all good, after spending RM6100…I thought I’d be ready to go! But no, the car was smooth and powerful now but the idle was very lumpy, there was jerking during WOT (wide open throttle) and it STILL kept stalling. This was the part where things [...]

As you would well know if you follow my blog, I’m a fan of Cars & Motorsport and even have a category dedicated to it. I attend organised events as well as having my own stuff like Project Airtrek. I’ve driven on Sepang myself multiple times and often attend Open Track Days. The last time [...]

And yes I was there, wuwu so lucky being an over-privileged and under-deserving blogger. Can’t really blog properly right now because my brain isn’t really functioning after 2 mornings waking up before 8am and the long World Cup stretch…I think I have a massive sleep debt and I feel like fainting now. It’s all good [...]
