I Want That Skyline !!

    This is a "prequel" ( Laughs ) to the entry i entitled "When It All Started" series. Since I'm bored like hell tonight, I'm gonna present to you a couple of sneak peak pictures and how did I get ** ***** **** ****** a GTR. - Stay tuned for that post guys- The pics below was taken around July 2008 to be exact. The location was at SG Motor Credit near Uptown, Damansara.

You can tell by this pic, that I'm super f*cking excited when i laid my eyes on the GTR.

Old Times Revisited

    I stumbled upon a couple of old photos while I'm browsing through the computers. The pics below really takes me back when the R3gister Club is active. Nowadays, most of the owners that i know have already sell off their respective cars. This pictures was taken in the year 2007 if I'm not mistaken. This is when all of the R3gisterian Club members did a convoy to a Shell event and all of the participants were treated to a free lunch and bunch of goodies sponsored by Shell.Old times revisited

My work vehicle.
    Today the assignment was to ready the site with "taik ayam" or chicken manure to ensure that the soil is rich enough to be planted with pumpkin.

When It All Started....Part 2.

    Well, this is a continuation from the previous topic that i wrote earlier. Obviously, when the GTi was stolen 2002, i was without a car for almost 2 years. Mostly i hitch a ride from friends and occasionally borrowed my mum's car. It was definitely a hard moment for me when i struggled a little bit trying to get around, hanging out with friends and going places. None the less, i still can managed it all with or without a car. I took busses ( which i rarely do ) to go from point "A" to point "B". It was rather an exciting experience for me ( Haha ).
    Lets keep the long story short shall we. I think it was the moment i occasionally bring home a friend's car is when my dad decided it was time for me to get a car. I mean, i managed with mum's car after awhile, but then she's got her business of her own to be taken care of. I was excited at that time but...inside my head, what car will be next after the GTi?
    I then decided to do a little bit of a research of my own, to find out what car was the best for me. I mean, in terms with the current financial status at that time, i could only afford a car that is below 90k. In which....the financial minister ( my dad ) will certainly be behind my arse all of the time. Among the options were, a Honda Civic EK 4, or the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7. A Mitsu Evo 7 costs around 170-180k at that time ( Oh btw, this event occurs around the year 2004 ). So, my dad and I went for a little "car shopping".We browse through various places in KL looking for the cars.We ended up stumbling upon this shop, ( Ming Heng ) which is in located in Setapak. There's a couple of Mitsubishi Evo 7 up for sale. The first one that i've looked was a basic Evo 7, white in color and the other one is a full spec black Evo 7 which comes with a sunroof. The one that i mostly admired was the black colored Mitsu. The car was superb in condition, i mean what else would you want in a car. 

    We've test drive the Mitsu along with the salesman and my dad decided to take us to Genting Sempah via the Karak Highway.

     It was an unforgetable moment when i for the first time drove the Mitsu. The acceleration was great,the handling of the car overall satisfy me. But being a sports car, it has hard suspension which my dad wasn't a great fan of. After a successful test drive, we went home and my dad told me that he will discuss this matter with my mum which i know what are the outcomes will be. As expected, he told me that i am not yet ready to get this car since I'm still studying. They are afraid that it will be effecting my overall performance in studying in the future. I respected the decision that my parents made although I feel a little bit heartbroken cause i didn't get the car. To be continued......
