Hermitage 1st Gear June 28, 2011 Share June 28, 2011 Hey Fellas!! Good to be back in Singapore after a great trip up north! Was rather exhausting, especially the first day, and this fact compounded by the heat in my car due to broken air-con! Have always loved the culture/heritage scence of Melaka, but the number of tourists this time round kinda spoilt it's charm for me. Plus the "no smoking" ruling applying to an entire area is just silly! Still, Melaka has got a sentience of it's own, untouched & incorruptible by the hoardes. And this was what I enjoyed! Thanks to Opel & Phmaksg for keepin' it real and making the trip as enjoyable as it was. Hope to travel again with you soon! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermitage 1st Gear June 28, 2011 Share June 28, 2011 As we cleared through the last Toll Plaza, I saw most cars around mine being waved aside by TP. My brother whispered: caught speeding? I hope none of us got involved. TP on a Sunday afternoon surprised me. Always thought they operate in the weekday mornings then malinger in the afternoons. Oh man! Luckily they probably sleeping in the morning! As I didn't join you guys for the durian trip, made my way back to JB from Melaka at around 9:30am. Reached JB a little around 10:45am. So you guess my average speed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opel17 6th Gear June 28, 2011 Author Share June 28, 2011 During the drive on 25/6/2011, from Machap R&R halfway to Pagoh R&R, the weather turned very bad, dark sky, heavy rains and strong crosswinds, like out of the movie "Twister". I felt that my Panorama is being "buffetted" by the crosswinds, and had to slow down from 110kmh to 90kmh. Anyone else sense the crosswinds ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast1 Supersonic June 28, 2011 Share June 28, 2011 Nah not really! Also, on that day how to go fast?! Like you mentioned, the wheather didn't exactly conspire to be conducive to fast driving! Actually, it was worse on the way back from the durian farm - raining cats and dogs in some stretches. That's when I had to slow down to 120+ and keep a really good following distance (in some places the visibility was terrible!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not feel anything much except when overtaking those big trucks then felt the car "drifted"a little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
