Will u drive up North ...

[Dumb]

well.. if u drive a bimmer or audi or mercs and dont take to NSHW to whack, really not giving the car justice...

hahaha, having said that, its not wise or safe to go to certain places in such cars.

so far i only dare to go to big shopping malls with guards in JB, and always try to park beside some car thats bigger than mine =)

in KL u're better off just parking the car in the hotel and taking a cab or subway =)

 

No need bimmer, audi or mercs or the like. Any car that dont take NSH to whack is also giving the car a chance to run. All my current and previous rides have gone above 180 or to its max. My earlier car in the 80s could only max at 175. Even my current sunny has gone above 180.

[Chrispie]

bro, have u by any chance driven the bimmer E60s or E90s before. i've been itching to get a 159 and wonder how it fares in terms of driving pleasure as compared to the bimmers.

 

 

alfa.. love it or hate it.

 

come to our gathering on 22 dec to see for yourself...

 

but so far.. those that drove alfa that changed to bmw or lexus.. all feels darn sian about their new rides.

Liddat also happy?

 

5-10km/hr diff is speedometer error (always calibrated to show slightly higher than actual), the other 5-10km/hr diff is probably physical conditions (tail wind, down slope) helping.

Penang has one of the highest concentration of luxury cars other than KL IMO

 

For my relatives, they don't use steering wheel locks on their cars and just park head in like most locals do.

But they do take caution not to display any valuables, even the reader for TapNGo and keep them out of sight.

Happy cos its my first time drive above 200 lol most of time sit in as passenger only hahaha

But i i reached 215 when road clear and do it less than a min before back to 140 hehhee

[Thaiyotakamli]

Yup, most will pull back to saner speed very soon after hitting 200km/hr.

Maybe you should go further north more often and look around before stating that they do live in fear...

 

Any figures to show how many Benz are registered over at north this year?

More like they can't do anything.... Just have to live with fear. If you are rich and still want to stay in MY, don't tell me you don't want to buy luxury things just because you fear kena rob? Lan lan right? Still buy what....

[Jman888]

The cars I was referring to are the Penang registration plates. I was monitoring the way the locals park their luxury cars in Penang before deciding if I will be driving my own SUV to the northern state this Christmas. Surprised to see that there are quite a lot of Cayene and other expensive SUVs in Penang.

 

 

base on the number of high rise luxury apartments in the island, not surprise at all.

 

Can easily cost MYR2mil a unit, literally bungalow in the sky as what they call it

[Thaiyotakamli]

Actually if ur malaysian registered luxury car with some symbol like datuk symbol, will it scare the thief?

[TameDriver]

No point owning high end cars if one daren't drive up north to fully enjoy their performance;

Feel the thrill and excitement in handling them on both the straight and curvy roads......Sheer Driving Pleasure!

Gosh, I'm begining to sound like an advert for certain conti car !

[Holdenutessv]

Plenty around KL area. Exotics, contis, American cars and even saw a holden during trip there.

[Bomby929]

Actually regardless of what car, driving up north you need to be be smart. must aviod ulu places, park car overnight also need to be careful, use steering lock (those type that stretch across the steering wheel one)

 

and try to park at places where it is along the main crowd or road. If got car parking security guard, try to tip that guy lah. RM$10-$20. small $$. ppl also happy.

Ever saw one R8 with one middle-aged man inside alone at 1st Link, no convoy or anything.
