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!

MEMBER: INCREDIBLE ROLLA

During my primary school, there was an uncle who is a close friend to my father; and he sometimes helped to pick me up from school. That time I was noob about cars, but I can only recall it was an old Corolla based on the trunk badge. I think that was the moment that I gets started to admire second generation Corolla models, after I took a ride in my uncle’s yellow KE20 Sedan 4 door.

Ok let’s get back to the track. This is not the car that I mentioned before, but this Corolla KE20 Sedan 4 door is owned by another OCCC member, James. He kept his KE20 quite simple, with normal rusty condition for a 40-year-old car and a set of aftermarket wheels. But do not judge a book by its cover, James got the best K-series engine condition compared to other OCCC members (including me); with a super silent engine while running and an automatic 3-speed transmission.

As a result, Kuching-Miri trip (around 1,000km uphill and downhill road condition some more) was not a big deal. James made his crazy journey and he managed to reach at the destination without major problems; which I bet other oldskool drivers would think twice (or thrice) to run the journey even with their car’s best condition.

When every E2 Corolla owners craving for the kouki Levin grill, James managed to find one for his beloved KE20, and he mated those zenki Levin garnish complete with side markers to get a fresher look.

Undoubtedly, we learnt something from James. That not all new modern cars are reliable, when you can rely on your old rusty Corolla running on K-series engines. Cheers mate!
