Back from Langkawi

Driving around in Langkawi should be quite fun. We got a proton wira manual to drive around the island for RM 120 for 2 days. Used up almost RM 70 of petrol, travelling from resort to town to beach etc. The (old) wira, was beat up, had squeaky wipers, unspirited engine, slipping belt noises (and other shaky noises), and musty smell inside. Well, at least the power steering, air-con and power windows were working.

Now I kinda understand why some people modify their wira to the max. It has a low center of gravity, not bad handling, nice view (not much obstruction from drivers seat). Put in some bucket seats, pluck in a VR4/MIVEC heart, upgrade the brakes and suspensions, and vroom away!

But coming back to drive the X20 put a smile on my face =)

Do visit the cable car and suspension bridge in Langkawi. The tickets are 40% discounted, if you show your mykad.
