Project Airtrek — The First Service – Part 2

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 […]

Although it’s debatable if Aston is still really British or not (partially Kuwaiti owned now). The actual car I fell in love with was the Aston Martin Virage Volante convertible. Anyway a […]

Project Airtrek – The Beginning

I’ve been wanting to change car for a long time, but due to saving for something else and financial commitments it really wasn’t a smart thing to do. So I had to bite my tongue, suck it up and carry on. Not that I minded my previous car, the best Proton ever made, the Lotus […]

Subaru S-GT 2.0 Turbo – Test Drive In Malaysia

So, lucky me! I got to test drive a 2008 Subaru S-GT for 2 days a couple of weeks back and boy it was fun (and makes me want to urgently change my car to something with slightly less rigid suspension). The S-GT is what is known as the Subaru Impreza WRX with an automatic […]

Why I Have to Take a Taxi Every DAY..

Cars & Football

Yesterday I went to the motorshow at PWTC, which was nice. Then some banquet dinner thing. Yeah most guys weren’t really looking at the cars (That’s the new Lotus APX btw, nice looking car). I recognised quite a lot of the car girls, maybe from pictures, or blogs, forums, hypertune etc. One recognised me though […]
