hi there people,

 

i just wanna c the general S-plates from our little red dot have gone how far up north!

 

and pls share ur ride? ...if u've made an esp long trip! thanx & best wishes for the Chinese New Year!

 

as for those who are traveling the NSH during this festive season, PLS BE XTRA MINDFUL TRAVELING BEYOND KL AS MANY LANES ARE CLOSED FOR ROAD WORK! IT"S VERY DANGEROUS!

 

1. I've ever wanted to drive all the way to China but didn't pursue persistently with China High-Com for permit. Family is one thing and also hard to take long leave these days. At one stage, I've event prepared all the logistical matters, even wrote to AD to ensure car can cross certain terrains and the contacts of their partners and approved workshops along the way. Again, didn't work out because of family again.

 

2. Also hard to find KaKi to follow you for a long trip.

 

3. I think the only motivation would be for charitable cause or something like that to make me "plan" the trip again.

 

Regards,

 

wow! china!

 

you r absolutely rite! it must be almost impossible to find a kaki who would have the inspiration (& leave!!! ) to do such an undertaking!

 

...and also there a problem of the family commitments! haha!!!

 

cheers bro!

I drove to Melaka, stayed for 1 day and then drove to KL.

 

As I was unfamiliar with that area and the traffic was quite chaotic, I ended up parking the car in the hotel and took a cab out for dinner.

 

hahaha!

There is no Phuket in ur poll.

 

Furtherest, drove to Phuket in a 2004 Nissan Sunny 1.6A Ex, 17hrs non-stop. Left SG abt 2am, reach phuket abt 6pm.

 

Currently, the car is in the process of being exported by dealer already.

Longest Distance

Singapore - KL - Penang

Penang - Ipoh - Muar - Singapore

 

You are right. Road after KL was slow because of road work. One lady driving a Kelisa cannot keep in lane and knock over a barrier cone which fly onto my path. Speed at around 100km/h. I just drive over it which should have flattened it. Imagine if behind her is a motorbike..

Have to be extra careful and use at least 4 sec rule in case anything fly onto your path.

 

Longest time

Somewhere in Australia, Queensland - 10 hrs non stop trip.

Beware of Roos and Emus dashing out on your path.

 

Thanx for sharing... And reminding!!!

 

this will be my last post for today!!! i'm going home, half-day, take my long nap & then travel back to Ipoh in the middle of the night! i'm really fearful of the lanes closure north of KL! ...must sleep well and then have the vitality to keep awake thru this journey!

 

So guys... Drive Safe K!?!

 

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

But Phuket is 100+km away from Krabi leh.
