one of my former colleagues is pretty active (and an office bearer i think) in the PCM - nice guy called ngooi; say hi if you see him.
Anyway, I did a 6am drive to Sepang & back again with little traffic on a backyard highway. There's a stretch where as far as your eyes can see into the flat land, thousands of baby oil palms sat among thick white fog & dawn light broke through with sun rays & shadows. What a beautiful sight! There's only u, endless road ahead & a wonderful concoction of engine + exhaust note, if only I was in a screaming Ferrari or Lamborghini On the return leg, I was down a valley & upon climbing, saw a thick wall of storm clouds on the horizon with a little of KL's skyline and realised that the cloud actually merged with a mountain range which could be the Genting highlands. It was like driving into Armaggedon. Wish u guys were here & too bad I didn't have my camera as well.
hey! I resemble that remark! they just want me to get paranoid! good morning! I just got home from a B road run I'm damn tired now tho
This is a very young highway & many locals don't even know it, I chanced upon it by luck. Very smooth, 3 lanes & fast curves with hilly zones. It's about 130km two ways from KL city. I just looked up google earth & the highway is half completed in theirs. It's the Putrajaya toll area coming from northeast to join the Lebuhraya Utara which splits off from NS & this is the main highway that takes u all the way to Thailand. We normally join this highway coming from south & turn left again to Sepang/KLIA. The spot where I saw the palm trees are: Latitude: 2°55'35.64"N Longitude: 101°37'4.22"E I was told that many exotic owners like to do their runs in the putra/cyberjaya highways as this is the central govt area & very well maintained but I often see patrols escorting VIPs. So, I guess Sunday & Saturdays are fine.
it's a jungle out there mate! Damn, I miss u guys for drives. Derek, did u come into Malaysia again? How's the road? If u boys can have a few days here, we'll have a swell time driving & eating around.
Yeh went to Kluang for breakfast .. a good set of B roads although could have been quicker! The exhaust on Tim's CS is simply SEX! I let him cruise past me a couple of times at 240+ and it's orgasmic we shud arrange an fchat Malaysian onite trip was with the ECC guys. I didn't expect to go myself .. didn't set the alarm just happened to wake up and thought .. ah wat the hell
