LL and I were in Ipoh today for a friend’s wedding. We arrived really late last night and checked into the Heritage hotel, which has not been updated since the 80s, and attended Geekchic’s morning wedding service.
I have to say the service was FAST. I believe we got over it in 1 hour. There was […]

E90 Eye

The car is smaller than I thought… at least from the inside.
From the back, I could see the “start button”, the well-manicured dashboard, feel the almost-emaculate leather stitching, and driver-focussed positioning of the gear knob and steering wheel… quite overwhelming, really.
It’s almost over-engineered. You’d have to spend a good full year […]

Gridlock
Originally uploaded by Curtis Perry.
Since I now live in Subang Jaya, I am forced to take the Federal Highway to get to and fro the city, apart from those tolled roads.
And because I actually do have patience for traffic jams, I spend my time calculating which is the fastest way through rows of gridlock without […]

Update: BHP petrol gave me a nice 10.45km/l after 470ish kms. And BHP is not the official distributor for licensed BP petrol per se… that’s from an ex-BP source, .

Oil Reserves in Doubt
Originally uploaded by Michael P. Whelan.
I got my car serviced recently, and I’m really happy with the improvements. New timing belt, new variator, an oil change, new brake pads, and a set of camshaft upgrades. It set me back quite a lot, but this only happens every 40k kms or so (excluding […]

My alfa is back… well, it was back almost a week ago, but I was too busy to blog about it. The repair cost me over 1k, but they fixed my condenser clutch (I didn’t even know condensers had clutches) and regassed my A/C with new R13A.
I’ve been driving it for […]

16V Twin Spark

Barely 3 weeks old and I’ve finally got the Alfa bite. Not as in driving fun bite, but as in my cooling fan not kicking in as it’s supposed to.
It started a few days ago, when I heard odd wheezing noises coming from my engine bay. It sounded like a […]

Stressed???

Alfa Romeo Badge

I couldn’t get my car today after all. I wrongly estimated the amount of time it took to find out that I needed my savings bank book in order to make a bank draft, which led to time looking for my bank book, which led to time spent learning […]
