    Don't worry nowadays all iPhone plans come with 12GB of data, which is virtually impossible to use up.

    But in the event that you do exceed, which I think you will, it is capped at a max of $30 :D

    a road bully at sepang. think even our very own MP was irritated by this guy some years back at a track day.... he loves to tail gate super cars and basically push them without overtaking... a PITA

    some of these fellas complained as they felt intimidated by this goon ...

    & yes, a MAJOR PITA ...

    & yes, I'm glad he's banned ... he asked for it. Even back then, he got himself banned from PCS & was asked to leave the TC td ...

    Five Billionaires Who Live Below Their Means
    by Katie Adams
    Thursday, April 1, 2010

    At least once in your life - maybe even once a week or once a day for that matter - you have fantasized about coming into a lot of money. What would you do if you were worth millions or even billions? Believe it or not there are millionaires and billionaires among us who masquerade as relatively normal, run-of-the-mill people. Take a peek at some of the most frugal wealthy people in the world.

    Warren Buffett
    Millions of people read Buffett's books and follow his firm, Berkshire Hathaway's, every move. But the real secret to Buffett's personal fortune may be his penchant for frugality. Buffett, who is worth an estimated $47 billion, eschews opulent homes and luxury items. He and his wife still live in their modest home in Omaha, Nebraska which they purchased for just $31,500 more than 50 years ago.

    Although he's dined in the best restaurants around the globe, given the choice he would opt for a good burger and fries accompanied by a cold cherry Coke. When asked why he doesn't own a yacht he responded "Most toys are just a pain in the neck." (Find out how he went from selling soft drinks to buying up companies and making billions of dollars.

    Carlos Slim
    While most of the world is very familiar with Bill Gates, the name Carlos Slim rarely rings a bell. But it's a name worth knowing. Slim, who is a native of Mexico, was just named the world's richest billionaire – that's right, richer than the uber-famous Microsoft founder. Slim is worth more than $53 billion and while he could afford the world's most extravagant luxuries he rarely indulges. He, like Buffett, doesn't own a yacht or plane and he has lived in the same home for over 40 years.

    Ingvar Kamprad
    The founder of the Swedish furniture phenomenon Ikea struck success with affordable, assemble-it-yourself furniture. For Kamprad, figuring out how to save money isn't just for his customers, it's a high personal value. He's been quoted as saying "Ikea people do not drive flashy cars or stay at luxury hotels." That goes for the founder as well. He flies coach for business and when he needs to get around town locally he either takes the bus or will head out in his 15-year-old Volvo 240 GL.

    Chuck Feeney
    Growing up in the wake of The Depression as an Irish-American probably has something to do with Feeney's frugality. With a personal motto of "I set out to work hard, not get rich," the co-founder of Duty Free Shoppers has quietly become a billionaire but even more secretively given almost all of it away through his foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies. In addition to giving more than $600 million to his alma mater Cornell University, he has given billions to schools, research departments and hospitals.

    Loath to spend if he doesn't have to, Feeney beats both Buffett and Kamprad in the donation category, giving out less grants than only Ford and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations. A frequent user of public transportation, Mr. Feeney flies economy class, buys clothes from retail stores, and does not wast money on an extensive shoes closet, stating "you can only wear one pair of shoes at a time". He raised his children in the same way; making them work the same normal summer jobs as most teens.

    Frederik Meijer
    If you live in the Midwest chances are good that you shop at Meijer's chain of grocery stores. Meijer is worth more than $5 billion and nearly half of that was amassed when everyone else was watching their net worth drop in 2009. Like Buffett he buys reasonably-priced cars and drives them until they die, and like Kamprad he chooses affordable motels when on travel for work. Also, like Chuck Feeney, rather than carelessly spending his wealth Mr. Meijer is focused on the good that it can provide to the community.

    The Bottom Line
    The dirty little secret of some of the world's wealthiest people is that they rarely act like it. Instead of over-the-top spending, they're busy figuring out how to save and invest to have that much more in the future. It's a habit you might want to consider in order to build up your own little storehouse of cash.

    Car had over 200k invested in parts alone... its being sold for .... get ready for it.... 100k!!!! But it really is undrivable as a daily car now. and it runs on weekend plates. It could really only be used as a pure track car.... interior stripped out, roll cage etc.... go to you tube and look up ang mo beng to see the car in action when it did a (slower) 2:16 at sepang....

    definitely puts it into perspective.... but also sometimes need to remember that you cant take all that cash with you to the grave.... different strokes for different folks I guess...

    in my view, "building up storehouse of cash" as a goal/end in itself and living as a pauper meanwhile, is meaningless. this is why im happily broke i guess

    Wow, does that little stick in the middle which he pushes and pulls about move a steel girder or something? The shifts are so violent!

    EDIT: Oh my, he doesn't clutch in when upshifting, that's why.
