Contilovers.com

Me and Paul Tan decided to form a forum about continental cars, one of the least discuss cars around in Malaysia. Zerotohundred and myJSOC.com only covers mostly Japanese cars. I feel that, people of about our age should learn to acquire European cars, much like a guy appreciating wine over sake. But yes, its a good thing. If you own an European ride, feel free to join our forum.

Stock White Nissan 350Z/Fairlady in Kampar

It's rare to see any stock Nissan 350Z's nowadays and this is a nice picture of a car that is in Kampar. The ex-owner used to own a white Caldina GT4. Not sure if this was a better upgrade, but I guess the owners into Japanese cars.

Ee Voon's Birthday

A family friend, Ee Voon, invited us over to celebrate her birthday party. Well, we had lots of fun together, had cake and lots of buffet food, including Sushi. Well the birthday girl turns 19 this year and lots of life ahead of her. This is pictures of her blowing the candle on that night.

Astone UMPC Netbook

I bought this Astone UMPC at a good clearance price of RM699, from this site http://www.techhypermart.com/ It's really a bargain and a good deal. I mean, you can't really get a netbook at this price, with a 7 inch touch screen and a stylus. Furthermore it has an integrated graphics card, so you can technically play some old school games such as Counterstrike with it! Anyways, here are the specs from the Astone site.

I had it up and running. It ran fine with an old DOS game, modified by current open source people. OpenTTD is based on Transport Tycoon Deluxe, which was a hit game back in 1995, when I was 11 years old back then.

Touge with Tuck, Xiao Huan and Fujiwara

I'm probably too moodless and too lazy to blog, but nevertheless, I'm here to share the video where I touge'd today. It has been a while since i Touge'd and definitely it was fun to drive since the cars were of equal challenge. I know the video taking was poor as it was probably my first time using my Nokia N78 as a chase cam. But nevertheless, I learnt some valuable lessons, which is to put the camera more towards the center! LOL. Anyways, heres the video, just ignore the long traffic pileup at the back of the video

So I was crusing on the DUKE

I had the oppurtunity to drive on the DUKE (Duta - Ulu Kelang Expressway) on a partially opened untolled stretch from Jalan Kuching to Jalan Duta. This route is definitely much better than the usual stretch passing Jalan Duta - Jalan Ipoh as it is usually jammed up in that area, from government employees leaving their quarters and workplace. But yes, just a short drive on my Mercedes.

Mybenz TT Row of car pictures 2

Here's Part 2 of the car pictures I snapped. Theres even a C-Class T wagen, a limited edition C230 from the 2000 F1 series and the CLK.

Mybenz TT Row of car pictures 1

On 9th of January, there was this grand event in Mutiara Damansara. A bunch of Merc enthusiasts from mybenz decided to come and join each other for a cup of tea. We all chat and talked about Mercedes-Benzes from different years and eras. We all had a fun time hanging out, taking pictures and admiring each others cars. Definitely a good TT to go to. Here's some pictures snapped on that day.

Mercedes Benz 300SL

This is probably one of the soon to be classic cars. The owner bought this for RM50,000 and spent almost RM60,000 in restoring. Just simply wow. Driving this cars on the road surely create attention, since it was the most expensive cars back then.

Classic Mercs side by side in MyBenz Grand TT 2009

I saw this old Mercedes 300 SL and my buddies W114 side by side. Ain't these timeless machines to begin with? Wish I had these cars parked in my garage.

Mini and Midvalley

So OK, both of them rhymes. The best part is that the Mini was driven by a smoking hot girl. Too bad I can't go side by side and take her picture! LOL, she was driving pretty fast. Haha, I guess she's got good taste too

So the cops have a new weapon!?

Oh yeah, I saw this car in Sunway Pyramid area. This car was tailing my back. I thought it was an Evo X, since it has a similar nose. I let the car overtake me and found out otherwise. It so happens to be a Volvo S80 2.5T! Oh wow, the Police force is getting richer. I have submitted pictures to Paul Tan as well on his site. Go to his site for more details.

Night hangout and riding with Calvin in his Mazda 6 2.5

I was bored on one day, so I head out to dinner with Calvin. We were brought to Mutiara Damansara for hawker food. The food was cheap and of acceptable quality. After dinner, we went for a ride in his car, cruising down the highway, with his white spaceship. You'd be impressed with the nice interior and the nice looks of the Mazda 6. Here's some night pictures, enjoy!

Sharifah Nasi Kandar

There's this nice place where you can have Sweet and Sour Chicken rice (halal) in this Nasi Kandar store. It is located behind the Shah Alam stadium. The pricing is reasonable for a place of rice, RM5.50. There's heaps of meat compared to most servings you can find out there. Here's some pictures of the food and store I went to. Enjoy!

New shoes and accesories for the C200

I was browsing around Sunway, Glenmarie and Klang area for a set of rims for my C200. I wanted to increase the rim size from 15" to 16 or 17". I saw this Brabus monoblock 18" used originals going for RM2200. Too bad it was already sold, so I am waiting for the next available sets. I also plan to include a LED brake light and projector headlamps for my Merc. Any ideas where I can get them cheaper? Thanks.

Zerone or OMP Bucket seats

So my dad wants a pair of bucket seats for his Jeep Wrangler. He intends to get PVC or semi-leather seats to fit and match his back's PVC seats as well. I wonder if these are a good idea. Any ideas?

Beating up game

So we were a bit playful and bored, so we decided to do something crazy. I was in Ee Voon's house, a family friends daughter, who invited us over for dinner and all. We were just being naughty and played a game of guessing cards. LOL. The loser practically gets smacked on the wrists, LOL. I suffered considerable damage, while the host had his arms all red in color! Haha, just some fun moments and pictures to be snapped. We had Taiwanese guests in that game and they were good at it, LOL.
