Asia GT: How Grand

Asia GT: On Track

GT cars... definitely the star of the show

Mending D rift

 

Day 1 of Velocity Motorshow.

It has been a long time since I have regularly attended events.
Not sure why. Probably a combination of work life and changing landscape of events in Malaysia.

Whichever the case is, I just acquired a second hand camera to replace the outdated and out of focus EOS 40D. I love the camera but there isn't much choice there... even Canon doesn't support the camera any more. Can't even get it fixed.

It is a big adjustment getting used to the newer camera. What better way than at a car event.
It has really been a while since I've attended one of these. In the weeks leading up to this Malaysia Day weekend event, there seemed to be a lot more chatter on my facebook and maybe I just so happen to notice it. Didn't seem anything out of the ordinary, but then the advertisement for drift event caught my attention.

full of SIN

 Super Import Nights...
Makes me wonder what was so super about it

and besides the models what was imported?

my Achilles weakness

If it wasn't for the fact that Formula Drift was happening again,

(that and I was broke) 

I would probably still have been in Thailand.

OLD POST: My life in the Pits

Since I have the time this week, thought I'd look through my incomplete posts...

First title that caught my attention was this....

Don't know why I never got around to posting this... but was way back last year at AFOS in sepang

just some snippets from here and there in the pit lane.

Volks Wagen

To most of the world, Germany is famous for two things

Hitler and their schlongs

well I guess the third being the VW beetle

Need Caring

Good Monday Morning to all folks out there...

How are you guys doing today?...

Hey there Chery

While wondering around KL,

I came across this roadshow

Car, Car, Car

In order to balance the all girl post,

here are some manly machines :)

Hail the Beetle

 

hmm the new VW beetle looks better than the previous model..
wonder if it's as good as the classic...?
more photos here.

take car :(

I know I'm smokin' but this is ridiculous

*sigh* will the jinx never end?

Boo hoo Blue Beetle

These past few days have been depressing and quite jinxing really

In a span of 3 days I've spent well over RM400 and nothing has improved

Car has died at three busiest KL roads

spent over 6 hours waiting...

For Muller Babes

For some,

Car events are about.. well the cars...

but for many, especially the so-called photographers,

it's all about the ladies...

and so for those wannabe's and the wannabe wannabe's...

here's a few for you to feast your eyes on...

(for those who claim to not like eye candy.. skip this post)

Grass or crass

What a lazy Sunday...

maybe it was the heat... 

or the fact that the holidays have started,

but I really did not feel like doing much...

I had big plans... none of which really came about...

but I'm okay with that....

On the list today was

a) gra round 5 at Shah Alam stadium

b) City girl search at Axis Atrium

or

c) wedding fashion show at Midvalley

as it is with any list, you start at the top,

so as the sun was getting high in the sky,

heart crusher crew made their appearance at Shah Alam stadium...

I've never been for a Grass Racing Autocross (gra) race before...

I had to get briefed...

 

 as the only thing I know I did know was there would be auto queens present,

and what I heard was true...

some photographers just came to take photos of the ladies..

and then left... not caring about the cars...

you judge for yourself it it's worth the travel?

 

 

    

basically the idea I got is that it's kind of like drifting

but you go around cones?...

Like all new things I found it interesting but after the first few runs,

the newness wore off,

even with the occasional cone bump

burning rubber

and flying gravel

and impressive driving

or even the unique cars...

soon the realisation dawned on me 

that most of the competitors performance were disappointing

Midway through, I was tired, a little bored 

and just felt like crawling into bed and waiting for the heatwave to pass

so after a very late lunch, 

abandoning plan b and c,

that is what I ended up doing

so it was time to hang up my helmet,

as my need for speed was met,

 

 

 

 

 it's time to end the weekend early...

and let the holidays begin!
