Cold and Hot

The weather has been wonderful the last 2 weeks due to daily showers. I haven't turned on the bedroom aircond in a while now.

Suddenly...

Today is strangely hot. It drizzled in the morning, but by afternoon, the sun was blazing and temperatures rose up to 36 degrees.


From my house, the sky was clear without any sign of rain clouds. However, spotted some rain clouds on the way to office. Hopefully it'll rain in the evening.


Its a good thing that I'm using V-kool elite in the X20. The UV blocking is superb compared to some other tints that I've tested:


Don't realise how hot the sun is, until I stepped out of the car... :)

More and more sightings

This guy was spotted at PJ between Sea Park and SS2.


This one was spotted in Ikanao:

Short Stories and Sightings in the rain...

I had a dream, X20's front right tire and rear left tire was punctured. A hole was found on both tire's side wall. My wife and I had to carry the 2 tires looking for a tire shop on a Sunday evening.

Today I helped my colleague change tires on his Proton Wira aeroback. He hit a pot hole in Sec 17, PJ. The sport rim was slightly bengkok. Freaky...




Saw a SG Avante driving in front of my office. Didn't get a good shot, as I was turning left, and it was raining:

More sightings!

This one was spotted coming out of IKEA and going to TTDI (so was I):

Driving the BMW 530i e60

Can't sleep in the morning due to some unexpected issues. It has been a crazy week, and an even crazier weekend.

The highlight of the day is being appointed the wedding driver for Mr & Mrs Lee. The bridal car was the new 530i.



1. This is a huge car. Its monstrous. OK, maybe its not monstrous, but from the drivers seat, the bonet looks super long. I was thinking that parking this car is going to be a headache... and I was right...

2. I found it difficult to even drive OUT of my house, thanks to the cars parked outside my house. Had to repark the X20 for the BMW to drive out. *noob*

3. Took the BMW for a spin the night before, kinda like a get-to-know-you session with the car. So many buttons, sticks and features! The car has an EXTERNAL reverse sensor & display (weird, whats wrong with the in-built one?). Too bad the GPS doesn't work. Dunno how to turn the wiper on permanently. *NoOb*

- The car is beautiful. Few will disagree on this point. It looks super sporty, yet maintaining the elegance of BMWs. It comes with a sun roof, great sound system with subwoofer, sport rims, smoked headlights with projectors, and ofcoz the bridal car deco.

- The car handles superbly. It really is a driver's car. Suspension, handling, horsepower, there is absolutely nothing lacking in these areas. The car is torque-y, with no lag when flooring the accelerator (compared to the BMW 325i e46 that I drove for MY wedding).

4. While parking at the lunch reception @ bangsar seafood, the owner of the 530i was watching me park HIS car. *tension* Even with the parking valet's instructions, I failed miserably at the parking attempt. After the few failed attempts, the parking valet guy (who looks like a night club bouncer) took over and parked it in a few seconds. *NOOB*

5. After picking the bride, the wedding ceremony, the lunch reception, 2 tea ceremonies, I finally returned the car, and I got back into my X20. Phew! I was so relieved.

Driving the 5-series is so stressful. I love the compact sedan, and I LOVE THE X20!

Constributed Sightings...

Oh my poor neglected blog. Too bad, as life is busy busy busy...

Spotted by a Honda driver near Kelana Jaya stadium in PJ. Nice number plate:

Update and Sightings

I haven't updated the blog in a while now. The visitor count is dropping. Ofcoz, no one visits a blog that isn't updated. I've been busy with work and overseeing some renovations.

The X20 has not undergone any changes. My wife is currently washing the car now, taking some initiative to care for my "mistress" ;)

Some sightings coming up next.

THM X20 Spotted

A grey X20 spotted on Jln Sg. Besi after lunch. I was on the way back to office after a sumptuous Fish Head noodles lunch and spotted this guy. Ok now, whose THM X20 number plate starts with N..



The white THM sticker is on the right corner.

Sightings @ TTDI

This is the road where the old IBM building is located. Its exactly in front of Nasi Kandar Penang, and opposite Pizza Hut @ TTDI. Silver X20 with Incus bodykit and Eastmax rims.

GAHHHH... missing rim hub cap

1 of my rim's hub cap is missing! GRRRRRrrrRRRrrrr...

When I bought the rims, the sport rim shop boss told me it cost RM 200 for an ori OZ Racing hub cap. GRRRRRrrrRRRrrrr...

Its a sad sad day for my X20.


:(

Sightings @ TTDI

In the last few days, I've spotted about 7 X20's. I've only managed to snap 1 guy at TTDI. This Sapphire Silver X20 has a 3-digit number plate, an interesting bodykit, which I suspect is from Air Master without the dodgy spoiler (my old blog post HERE!, Air Master X20 website HERE!) was parked outside Maybank TTDI.


I snapped this pic sneakily, and you can see my right shoulder and my black lanyard in the picture.

Nuffnang really works!

I started displaying Nuffnang ads on my blog on 22nd June 2008. After 1 year and 2 months, I've got a cheque in the mail for RM 49.26. It really works! People like you, visit my site, click (or don't click) on the Nuffnang ads that display Mr. Potato, Toyota Vios, McDonalds etc. and I get paid. Interesting concept.


Now all I need to do, is setup 2,000 blogs and I can quit my day job :P
