    Hello everybody. For this trip, I was already in Kuala Lumpur so we don't need the boring route from Singapore to KL. Been wanting to visit the famous ricefields in SekinChan, Selangor, west coast of Malaysia Peninsula. http://www.sekinchan.org/ & I don't want the usual highway choosing the B roads & seeing the villages (Kampungs), smelling the earth & hearing birds chirping.

    So, what better car than taking my yellow 360CS for a good drive to the countryside :)

    I started off in the morning & hit a north bound main highway but after just 20km or so, we take a left access via Kuala Selangor which quickly joints the main trunk road along the coast. Traffic is rather light on a weekday over here & expecially when you hit the countrysides, there's the usual trucks & some light traffic but nothing much so I could take the CS up to speed and hit 7Krpm whenever possible.

    Once you hit the main long road along the coast, you have at least 50km of straight, double lane with nothing but occasional one/two storey houses & oil palms. Then you'll see the green ricefields on your right.

    Oops sorry, the above pic was already in the ricefields. I made a turn into the service lanes within the ricefields & took some pictures there. It was November not sure how long more before they harvest the rice.

    I'll edit some other pics from another camera. There's some food pics in this trip as well ^^

    It's a long straight ahead, about 50km of trunk road with nothing much exciting but this is where you can pull the redline in all gears ^^

    It's easy to tell when you reach Sekinchan as you'll see the flat plains of "grassland" on your right so after some KMs I found a nice spot to turn in for some photography & enjoy the ricefields but the day was quite sunny.

    It is quite therapeutic over here. Far away from the pollution of city, you see the swallows fly around you and watch the fields sway like grass with the wind & I even saw a flock of white cranes. Probably migratory birds from China?
