Shull's Road Trip to Cameron Highlands - With Pictures

[Dwoon]

Depends on what brand of springs. If 2nd hand, can get them cheap at ~$100 to $200.

 

New ones, maybe $400 to $600.... depending on the brand & type. If you feel rich.... then go for coil-overs (which incldues the shocks)

 

I was suffering from motion sickness because my stock springs were too soft. Car was going up & down even when road was relatively straight & flat...... after driving for 1/2 hour or more, tummy don't feel that good already.

 

You driving SUV? Most tall cars suffer from this.......

oo...so i should start worrying for the kiddos in the car ....hmmm...

 

Normally kids are quite resistant to motion sickness as well. But if you know yours are kinda susceptible, then guess you'd better prepare those paper baggies just in case...

The place is good. Not bad. There is a little distance from brinchang itself.

No worries, not long distance, just a short one. It should be convenient. (:

Hi Brother Shull...thanks for your infos... was planning to go up to Cameron for a 2 day trip near end Oct and then proceed to KL for another 2 day.

 

Any good pointers to share and also the makan places?I would be staying put in Tanah Ratah. Its been long since I went to Cameron (16yrs ago) and is with my parents. Was only a teenager then. Now is my turn to bring my wife and my mum up.

 

Btw, may I know what exit to take after NSHW? I plan to go via the causeway as I stay woodlands. The journey would be about 7-9 hours? What should I take note other than the speed cameras on the road?

 

If any fellow MCFers here would like to convoy together I would't mind either. Would be fun!!

[Seaweed]

I maybe making a trip there on 14th Oct to clock some mileage for my OPC Peugeot 107...And I have never been to Cameron before...So it is good to explored some new places...
