Malaysians love to Google about Perodua Nautica

In the latest Google’s Zeitgist (the spirit of the times, in German) for the year 2008, the Perodua Nautica scored tops in popular searches in Malaysia. The Nautica is a locally-produced short wheelbase SUV (compared to the Toyota Rush) and has emerged as the outright winner among all car model searches by Malaysians. It even overtook the searches of five other foreign car models in terms of popular searches.

A rising star on the Internet, it seemed

The wheels of life, like it or not

Whether you are a petrolhead or not, everyone has to go thru the same cycle..

 At the end of the day, you still end up on wheels…

Fuel price dropped but its not seeing better days on the road

I dont know about you but since the recent reduction in Malaysian fuel prices, the number of cars on the road quadrupled by the hour! Even before the day of announcement, the looming news about the price cut for the past weeks had seen many new vehicles, especially, were mushrooming like no other business! So much for prudent spending!

The grind is taking its toll on us, significantly!

Wash your car, give a little kindness for charity’s sake

After being silent in the blogosphere for almost 2 mths, I am now back, and this time I need attention. After months of preparing for a lot of things, I wish to prove that idling was the last thing to do, and it has been all in the name of charity.

A little shoutout to all of my beloved visitors to this blog. I am part of this charity event to help raise funds for Hospis Malaysia, an NGO in KL.

Show that you care by sending your cars to wash

Volkswagen Combi vans at VanFest 2008

I would like to feature a little bit of my craze in the Volkswagen vans called the Type 2/Combi/Transporter. We used to see these vans in pasar malams or grocery shops back in the early 60s, and dont be surprise to see one all souped-up with a flowery theme next to your car when you drive around PJ!

My driving style is quite a fuel-saver, it seems

I got my driver’s license since 1997 (wow, 10 years of driving experience already) and must say that I have been a good and a bad driver. Good in the sense that I use all my indicator lights whenever I turn left or right. Even during parking, I will use my hazard lights whilst reversing into a parking lot, especially those closed, underground ones. Well, I am no perfect driver here but sometimes I would cut queue, either intentionally or unintentionally, but on the overall, I am considered a defensive driver.


Let rev this baby, NOT!
