This morning, I was invited to go to touge with TK, however, I went into a lot of unfortunate circumstances. I was supposed to head up at around 10:30 PM, when my friend Ronny messaged me he is interested to go up and meet TK as well. I didn't mind waiting, but I was rushed by TK, as he was pretty keen to go uphill at that moment, since he didn't want to be caught up in the long line of jam nor the roadblock. When I was on the way to Simpang Pulai, TK called me up and told me he is going himself. Then, moments later, he told me that he turned back, since there was a road block up ahead Cameron foothill. I was already on the way at that moment. I was previously blocked by a Proton Wira driving at 50km/h on the trunk road, slowing down every traffic. It was so hard to pass the car, as there were so many double-lines, incoming traffic and so forth. Finally, I managed to pass him near Gopeng highway interchange. Whilst I was waiting on the red light, I noticed the Proton Wira driving past the red light, as if nothing happened! God, drivers like these should be banned, since they are more likely to cause an accident to innocent drivers.
Whilst on my way passing the Gopeng toll, I was trying to floor my way on the North South Highway to reach Simpang Pulai as quick as possible. Whilst trying to go up the first hill, there was two lorries, trying to race uphill, with speeds of around 60 km/h. God, it was so frustrating and the traffic in front was braking and going. Damn these lorry drivers are inconsiderate. They won't know if they might cause an accident at the end of the line.
So, I passed them and head up on to Simpang Pulai exit. Whilst exiting, I thought I wanted to tackle that bend on the onramp, before ending up in the toll. Suddenly, I noticed a long queue of cars on the road. I braked in time before hitting anything. Unfortunately, my friend, Ronny, lost control of his car, understeered and hit the barrier. Lucky for him, it was just a dented fender and a slightly broken front lamp. Glad he was OK, I felt pretty bad for him. After coming down and checking if there were any damages in the car, we drove on to the Mcdonalds in Gunung Rapat and met up TK.
TK and Ronny had a long talk, about cars, and Toyota cars of course. Han was present too. They were eagerly awaiting us. I can't blame them, since they waited almost 2 hours today. I felt pretty Pai-seh.
Later on, TK helped me install the UR 2-point tower bar. I took out my old 4-point bar, because it took a lot of engine space and I had no more space for my Oil Catch tank. After doing that, TK decided to re-attach the old GT wing that came out of his TE72. Enjoy the pics. I will post up a follow up video that we went to Cameron highlands for touge.
