KARTer 2nd Gear June 6, 2011 Share June 6, 2011 We r the pirates. Rob, plunder n especially rape the village gers when we happen to land on some isolated island. Many of the kids running around look like me u know. we actually provide lives to the islanders..... should be given honorary citizenships but the lookalike part, you can have the honor, i am just a bystander, or at most 'advisor'... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARTer 2nd Gear June 6, 2011 Share June 6, 2011 Sometimes it's called silly having to drive a long way for just a meal without staying over. But sometimes can called it adventurous, it's fun driving , chit chatting in cars with wife and kids, the different scene and atmosphere including one have time and money. Agreed also.... the trip our kids couldnt wake up in time when we left home around 6am.... so its back to our park-tor time many years ago... this part was not silly, but 'retro' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARTer 2nd Gear June 6, 2011 Share June 6, 2011 Desaru the popular place is Sg Rengit but I went there recently n its crap. Spoilt by all those Sporeans going there by the busloads every weekend. I went to another place recommended by a bro here n it was much better. sounds good...... must-see place on our next trip (was sg rengit the one with a run-down jetty sticking into the river not far from the restaurant?)

KARTer 2nd Gear June 6, 2011 Share June 6, 2011 Actually is very logic to say when you push your machine, must also take care to let it cool...... but somehow I'd read an article saying, the longer you drive non-stop, it's better for your machine. A good exercise for it!!!! Meaning car will normally not stress out like the driver. Actually technically yes and no..... a well tuned car will be able to be pushed all day long non-stop except for petrol stops and driver's biological needs; then we have different types of 'push':- abuse and non-abuse, hot-laps on a circuit can be much more punishing as compared with high speed dash/cruise on the highway. Then we have the car's phyiscal limits, eg overheating the brake system in particular, come into play where stops/rests are required, not so much for highway bash but tracking.... as we know, the amount and degree of hard braking within a hot lap on track is more than what a normal A-to-B driver experience in a year, therefore its good to give the car (its brake system) a break.

KARTer 2nd Gear June 7, 2011 Share June 7, 2011 So u saying u prefer to watch while others do. sure what.... passive 'participation', less risky although the fun is less also, but still fun nonetheless.. and its a valuable learning process.....

KARTer 2nd Gear June 7, 2011 Share June 7, 2011 (edited) Can tell u got experience in pushing yr car to the limit b4. i watched my frens and observed lor.... once he took my car to show me how to do hot lap, he cooked the brakes and instead of doing a sharp left hand turn in a notorious corner, the car failed to stop at about 170kmh and went straight, completely no brakes as he floored the brake pedals..... i was like "OMG, siao liao... gotta be towed all the way back to sgp liao.." ... lucky he's an experienced and calm trackie... managed to stop eventually in the gravel, lucky still there wasnt any other cars behind....

I quite enjoy driving long distance in UK... most UK drivers have good safety and lane discipline, even the truckies, but some small vans drivers are quite maniac though...... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
