The inevitable is finally here. The hybrid system is giving me a lot of headaches lately. Right after I bought it until now, I must have ridden on the tow-truck with the Estima Hybrid in tow all the way back to Johor, for at least 3 times! I have really lost count, all I can remember is […]

Gomen pandai tipu!!
Posted: 1st February 2015 by Jacky Yong in Cars, Current AffairsTags: car, joke, malaysia
Does the government think that we are really that stupid? I read with amusement about a stupid minister (Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed) who claimed that car prices actually dropped! And is there any grain of truth in it? NONE WHATSOEVER!! That fucker used figures that are gravely misleading, hiding […]
Yeehaw! I’m the king of the road! Nobody can catch me! Make no mistake, this Hybrid Estima has a lot of potential still, so never look down on us! I may lose u on the acceleration and coming off the straights, but I’m untouchable around the bends and when weaving in and out of traffic. […]
So many people waiting to get their cars washed….
Toyota Estima Hybrid AHR10W
Posted: 1st October 2013 by Jacky Yong in CarsTags: ahr10w, estima, hybrid, toyota
It’s a Toyota Estima. Hybrid. Yes one of the rare Estima with Hybrid, and this one is the older ACR30 equivalent. Yup, it’s mine now, after my last Proton car failed on me. (The engine died after its engine oil dried up, but that’s another eulogy for another post) The Toyota Estima Hybrid AHR30W is […]
Major service of my Altis
Posted: 28th April 2012 by Jacky Yong in CarsTags: altis, puchong, Service Centre, toyota
The Altis is four years old now in my hands, but when I bought it, it was already 6 years old. That makes it 10 years old already! Being a 10-year-old car, all sorts of problems are starting to creep in. As of last year, the car porch has already got patches of oils, indicating […]
Genuine vs Fake Toyota Long Life Coolant
Posted: 9th January 2011 by Jacky Yong in CarsTags: coolant, counterfeit, fake, genuine, real, toyota
Malaysia memang boleh! Anything and everything that can be faked, has been faked! DVD’s, Croc shoes, LV bags, Nokia batteries, Ringgit notes, including the topic of my blog entry, engine coolant! There are probably counterfeit Honda and Proton coolants as well in the market, probably from the same factory too! Just the label and packaging […]
I drove a BMW 320d

Few dreams can become reality, at least for me. But today, it happened! It has always be my dream to drive a BMW. Today I did not just drive it. I trashed it “kau-kau”. It was the BMW demonstration on Dynamic Stability Control (DSC for short) for a lucky few members of the public. I saw it on […]
Yokohama A Drive
Posted: 18th June 2010 by Jacky Yong in CarsTags: A-Drive, cheap, quiet, tyre, Yokohama
I have recently changed my Altis’s tyres to a set of new Yokohama A-Drive doughnuts. I changed them for RM 185 per piece from Tek Ming in Sunway. Why did I go for this tyre? The main consideration is its price, it’s cheap considering its performance and quietness.
Playing Need for Speed is dangerous
Posted: 4th June 2010 by Jacky Yong in Cars, Silly meTags: game, need for speed, reckless drive
It is, SERIOUSLY!! Point in case : 1. This morning I start to weave in and out of traffic while driving to work. You know lar, the road to Cyberjaya so wide, little traffic, but the cars damn slow. Situation made worse when I hear Flo Rider’s “Low” on the radio. YOWSERS!! 2. I got sore thumbs […]
