EVENT: A GREAT WEEKEND IN PUTRAJAYA PART 1


In Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, the last weekend of May is about Millions of Youth Gathering, and most importantly for me, they organized a classic car show and invited Royal Selangor Club members to cheer up the moment with their precious rides. This time, lets approach things a little differently with more classics from west side, starting with this solid red MGB Roadster convertible.



But that doesn’t mean that every car was from western side. Some came from the land of JDM. Next to the MG was this striking yellow Civic CRX on stock OEM wheels.



Things became more serious with this super clean Mercedes Benz vintage, looking good on white wall.



Just around the corner, I was amazed with this unique Alfa Romeo…



...and more importantly, it is the original Alfetta GTV version. A very handful unit in Malaysia.



All types of the breed could be seen, including second-generation type cars like this Jaguar MKII.



And the event would not be a success without some Japanese classics…



...so one of Royal Selangor Club member brought his 510 Bluebird to impress JDM lovers.



One of my favorite vintage on that day, this Amazon 123GT was so attractive that I can’t resist falling in love with.



Hunting for hot babes anyone? This BMW 635C SI is a good weapon.



More French goodies on that day with this Peugeot 404. It may looked average from this view…



…but those pointing and sharp curves turned it into something.



If I am not mistaken, this was the car model that the Allahyarham P. Ramlee drove in ‘Madu Tiga’ movie, the Triumph Spitfire.



And this unknown vintage (apology for my ignorance) , but the design is pretty unique with the taillight at the same level to the wheel.



I don’t think this beauty needs a caption, and it is your lucky day to find a stock condition 280ZX…



...which it looks like just stepped out of dealership in 1980’s. You envy Fairlady enthusiasts?



Another pristine condition marque by Ford, meet this Escort MKI 4 door sedan.



With shiny and sparkling color, I just admired how they managed to keep their car up to this condition.



The icon of the world, and you are not living on earth if you do not know this bug.



Amazingly, this Beetle was restored with original Volkswagen parts. I believe the owner is a VW purist.



Undeniably yes, and it’s the matter of right foot…



The cutest little thing ever produced, this Mini looked business in brownish-purple color.



One of my findings from the event and looks like someone drove over this vintage Fiat 1100 from 1960’s. Another time machine? Ask the owner perhaps.

Along with much more from this amazing event in Part 2. Stay tuned.

GATHERING: RANDOM SNAP AT MAYDAY THIRD ANNUAL MEET


This is the continuation of the previous coverage, the Mayday Third Annual Meet 2012. More number of cars and two-wheelers, but the number of drivers remains the same. That means? I leave the question for you to make a quick guess.



I just cannot help myself to start falling in love with third-generation Corolla, especially when they are equipped with full TE37 goodies...



...and a set of charming SSR Longchamp XR-4.



The long disappearing B10 2 door sedan, back in action for this special event. Everyone is going to love the headrest-less seat and flare-rubbing stance on deep wide AP Racing...



...and a brat concept Suzuki GS550 with a retro helmet, under transformation into a menacing ride.



If you guys wondering, the event took place at Luak Esplanade in Miri. A good spot to gather with your friends and enjoy watching cool rides (and hot girls to be honest).



Close look at the KE30, more shakotan gem with an oil cooler.



In front of the KE30 was this Marol's KE70 which just became a me`ner machine with fabulous Enkei Apache all around.



A moment later, Romy showed up  and he did not fails to impress everyone with his freshly customized Honda CB360.



Last but not least, class album anyone? In this picture were the great guys who made the event success on that day. Keep it up guys, you are awesome!

GATHERING: MAYDAY THIRD ANNUAL MEET


While some of people from West Malaysia were busy catching sideways action of Formula Drift Malaysia 2012 at Speed City KL, the OCCC members could not missed up to have the same 'havoc' in Borneo. This event was actually held to celebrate third anniversary of the club, kinda surprised to know the truth that two sweet years had passed, with the increasing number of members and rides.



The guy of the pro photoshoot's ride, Asrol Ardi with his stunning KE70 coupe, next to infamous Mazli's Mango Sprinter.



Take a closer look at these two beauties, both coupe on nice offset wheels, tidy and attracting paint-job. If I weren't into KE25/TE27s, I am definitely will have a hard time to choose one of these rides.



Romy never fails to impress everyone with his JDM TA22 Celica, powered by 16-valves 4A-GE.



A good example of a properly done restoration job on first-generation Celica coupe, spotted a freshly installed ducktail spoiler to aid the traction.



Next to this TA22 was Kamarulzaman's Corolla DX, striking on 2K orange paint-job. Notice an uncle behind there with his clean stock C31 Laurel.



The car that makes everyone envy (especially me), all the time...



...and these two, for sure.

I'll be back with a lot more from Asrol Ardi's lens very soon!

EVENT: RANDOM SNAP AT MIRI BIKE WEEK


Some sneak peeks from last event, let's enjoy the pictures from Asrol Ardi's lens. Starting from this orange TA28, I won't get bored sitting at the corner the whole day and enjoy this view.



Rust is not a crime, but it is actually classic cars' best friend. Unstoppable, but you can slows it down.



Banana-type TE37 taillight is just awesome. Kudo's to the designer in 1970's.




You just cannot resist to like classic motorbikes, for how stunning they are.




When you cannot find many hot girls to enjoy their back view, these cars rear end will do.



The pamphlet of the event.



One of the coolest cafe racer that day. Single seater and raw naked look, could not ask more.



Ever wonder how does Napoleon GT fender mirror in box look like? Very lucky guy to find this New-old-stock aftermarket part.



Some must-have stickers for Japanese Nostalgic Car enthusiasts.



The pros of having spacious rear segment on liftback, you can bring a BMX around without the need of roof rack.



Custom front spoiler on fourth-generation Galant Sigma. 



Well, you cannot deny to have a duck-tail spoiler for the sake of aerodynamics...



..when you are running on this. 



The name says it all.




That's all for now. See you guys in next event.
