Right. Your signature says you drive a Nissan Sylphy, yet you produce some grainy web-lifted photo of a sotong Kancil driver... r.i.g.h.t

Morning scenery are usually very nice to take (without need of flash sometimes) It's a simple smartphone shot


TQ and compliment to yours too

I know a lot of people say it's not feasible nor suitable to drive a convertible in malaysia, but fortunately there are just as 'crazy' people like me 😜😎
Just maybe some aren't cut out to experience such joy 😉 😁

You are a very lucky man! Whenever I bring up the idea of a convertible, say something as simple as a Boxster, she will give me that look of disdain and say something to the tune of "you so old already still want to act young and drive topless issit?" And the conversation dies right there haha

Pretty much the standard out look about life by society. Or scared that that 'old man' gets seduced by young girls?? 😎😂
Life is short, celebrate life as much as you can within means.
Work hard and enjoy the reaps of its fruits. Firstly, it's also a passion thing. I like to drive n travel on the road. It's the journey I do enjoy.

It's not about style nor to please society or my peers. The partner too likes my travels adventures. Even in simple 'long kai' 😋

Though it not necessarily suited for all. Some may see it as a lifestyle thing to own a 'convertible'. Perhaps it is to some. I take it as my hobby, an extension of myself.

wise words to live and drive by, my friend

And, may we never walk alone:



Was at Anfield 5 years ago, did the stadium tour - that's the sign that greets each and every Red before they emerge at the Kop. Wifey and I drove a perky little C180 from Heathrow all the way to Liverpool. Travel adventures indeed, my friend! Thanks again for sharing your insights!

Wobbles: your wife is funny on that part!

But age is not an issue for driving fast cars or sports cars or convertible. Safety is the important rule besides living life to the fullest whether one drives a continental/japanese/korean/local/sports/convertible car.

Got a neighbour who is in his 60s-70s (age not sure but should be around there) and he drives a Ferrari. See him zoom about in his Ferrari occassionally.

I know of 2 guys who both drove a Lotus car on road and off road. However they have passed on but they have lived their lives to the fullest. (One of the guys is an old gentleman in his late 60s I believe)

The E300 uses a 2.1L Turbo diesel with electric motors..

thx~! haha... purposely take the same angle as my avatar.... lolz.....

Let me share some of the cars I used to own.
I love cars ....



I first used the E36 325 and when I bought the E46 325 SMG, my wife used the E36.
Both has been sold since. I only kept the E46 for a year as the SMG had problems and could not be repaired satisfactorily despite spending many thousands on it. Jerk g when moving from standstill.
These are the last BMW I will own - already swore of them.

Picture was taken at the washing bay of my condo after washing both.

This is my first sport car proper - the iconic Lotus Elise !
Used it for 2 years but found it under powered - and the rest of the Lotus guys were upgrading to the Exige which is much more powerful.
Not an easy car to control though especially in the wet - lots of twitching at the rear.

After selling the Elise, I bought the Exige 240.
Really fast car 0 to 100 in just over 4s.





I imported quite a bit of carbon fibre parts for this car from UK.
Used it for 3 years and 15k km and sold it because I find that I don't use it enough to - too difficult to use in KL traffic and the warranty expired - car has no mechanical problems though - just don't want to be troubled by any problems - like the BMW I used to own.

More on the Exige.
I had the opportunity to meet Jean Alessi on a drive to Genting as well as over lunch and he autographed the car.
Also had the opportunity to meet Kimi Raikonnen and he autographed my helmet.



Whilst the car is sold, I still keep the helmet.

Bro, officially, you are now my new idol

YOU DA MAN!!!!

I also imported a soft top from US and modified the Exige so that I can use it topless to Genting. Simple modification - just drill 2 holes.

I also bought a CLK 240 for daily use. This is the car I love the most..



Unfortunately 1 year later had a very bad accident on NS Highway going to Ipoh.





I survived of course without any injury at all - not even a scratch or a drop of blood.
That is why until today I use Mercedes Benz

Holey heck, bro! How fast were you going on the NSHW!? Thank goodness you came out unscathed!

I bought a W204 immediately and used that for 3.5 years until last month when I sold it to a forumer here

[attachmentid=5833254]

Then I bought the W205 C250 AMG shown earlier.

Attached thumbnail(s)

After selling the Exige, I bought a Porsche Cayman S.
Lot of carbon fibre came with the car as original specs from Porsche Malaysia - I love the seats.
Owned this car for 1.5 years and only put in 3k km - trying to use it more. The first owner put in 7k km only in 1.5 years This car is much more easier to drive in KL traffic.
Intend to keep this for another 2 years.





That's more or less the story of my cars throughout my life so far - I had an Airtrek Turbo somewhere in between ( another lovely car but sold it as it was getting old ) and also have a Honda Jazz right now.

I just ordered another iconic car and waiting for the tender results for my usual no plate and hopefully can be delivered before machines New Year - probably not as Ipoh no plates moves very slowly nowadays, only 300 no a day.

you caught me ~ ! my bad... Kancil not my car.. just saw this guy.. park front trafic light and walk away with SWAG! i was thinking how cool if i do the same...

well to be honest injury may happen internal also... have you gone Brain or MRI scan you be surprise what whiplash injury may get you claim from insurance.. lol x

Just happened to own the right car at the right time ie when Lotus went back to F1 and employed Kimi and Lotus Malaysia was trying to give owners some benefit of F1 sponsorship
