With the rising fuel prices and the never-ending commitments that I need to shoulder, it is only natural that I seek to increase my income and lower my expenditures. Having scrutinized my monthly budget, I have come to realize that the biggest money outflow goes to petrol. And between the two cars (Wira 1.5 GL […]

Question: How do you paint your car without getting exorbitantly charged from the mechanic? Do it yourself lar! I noticed my neighbour doing exactly that on his car. Check out the paint job! Not only that the paint is uneven, there were cracks everywhere!
Toyota Service Centre, Balakong
Posted: 21st June 2008 by Jacky Yong in Cars, Current Affairs, Silly meTags: Balakong, Service Centre, toyota
This is my first experience here as a Toyota owner, servicing my Altis. I was prepared for a huge bill. For one thing, I do not have a complete service record for this car, so all other details of the record remain vague. I have called 2 weeks earlier to book an appointment and the […]
….. perhaps even the world! I spotted this car in Tesco Puchong, back in July 2005. At that time, I still had my trusty old Canon A70 with me that goes wherever I go. Resist the power of the dark side I must! The force is strong! This picture was originally posted in LensaMalaysia.
For those who have been following my blogs diligently until now, you should have guessed it by now. YES, I have sold off my old green monster, the Proton Iswara 1.3 Sedan Manual, bought in the year 1998. It’s no more, it’s history. Gone! Thinking back, I can’t say that I hate the car that […]
Car review – Toyota Corolla Altis 2002
Posted: 14th March 2008 by Jacky Yong in CarsTags: 2002, altis, Cars, corolla, toyota, zze122
The Altis was launched in Malaysia in 2001 as a new rebranding of the ever famous Corolla model. It brings over the proven record of comfort and reliability that has associated itself with the name Toyota. This is a 1.8G spec, ZZE122, meaning the full spec, with all the bells and whistles. Compared to the […]
Why do I say that? That’s because I have test driven 3 different cars on the first day of Chinese New Year itself! My sister’s hubby’s Proton Saga came in on the Eve of Chinese New Year, and they came to our house on the first day of Chinese New Year in the morning. He […]
I know, I know. The car is a bit old history already, but you’ve got to admit it. It’s one hot baby! I have always admired the car because of its outlook, of its masculine stature. Truly a man’s car for a powerful drive around the winding roads out of the city. And I only […]
Car review – Nissan Grand Livina
Posted: 23rd February 2008 by Jacky Yong in CarsTags: 1.6, Grand Livina, Nissan
Seems that the year of the Rat brings a lot of new cars into my family. My other brother-in-law, my wife’s sister’s husband, also bought a new car this year. The 2008 Nissan Grand Livina. One first look at the Grand Livina and the Nissan Murano comes to mind, thanks to the unmistakable front grille.
A new saga has begun, and I am confident that Proton will continue its tradition of bringing over that authentic Saga driving experience over to this new baby. You and I know what experience that I am talking about. The rickety door, the faulty power window, and the bumpy suspension ….. even at standstill. Yes, […]
