An uncle of mine used to own a Mini Traveller. Now, don't give me that look. Even as a kid, it was definitely not one of those cars I would drool over every time I see it, even if you stuck one of those transformable Transformers logo to the car (you know, the one on their toys that change color when you rub it?). If you can't even impress a kid, you can't impress anyone else, is what my marketing lecturer used to say. In the company of the Mini Cooper Clubman however, the story swings in a different direction altogether, thanks to its unique split rear doors, and the ubiquitous club door aka suicide door alone are guaranteed to generate a lot of "oohhhs" and "aahhs" (even from my marketing lecturer) and of course, looks of envy from passer-bys and your own family members.

Originally we requested for a chance to test drive the 2007 Mitsubishi I - a cute small car with a rear midship engine setup and powered with a 660cc DOHC MIVEC engine, weighing only less than a ton but in the end we only managed to secure a Mitsubishi Triton Lite with a curb weight of one-and-a-half-ton with a huge cargo room to start off our first weekend in July.So we hopped into the shoes of a restaurant operator for the weekend to find out how 'lite' the new Mitsubishi Triton Lite can get. With a weight of 1590kg and powered by SOHC 2.5 liter diesel engine that produces 75bhp at 4200rpm and 149Nm at 2,500 rpm, the new variant might be one of the lightest pickups around but when it comes to the world of trucks, you know you can’t go wrong with grand words of wisdoms such as ‘The Bigger, The More Powerful'. Actually, we just made that up but it still sounds cooler compared to the overused ‘The Bigger, The Better’. We found out that the Mitsubishi Triton Lite is indeed lighter; less on fuel but..
Terato.com Proton Wira RWD Project Drift third run in all of its slow motion glory shot at 300 fps (frame per second). We got the rear axle changed to a full lock LSD. Right now we are working on the steering angle .
Volkswagen was initially introduced as the people’s car.
But here in Malaysia, VW cars are essentially a not-so-people’s car. VW
Malaysia however only targeting on niche market rather than entering the
mainstream market monopolize by Japanese duo of Toyota and Honda. Due to the
fact that only a small numbers of vehicles brought in, it is quite a rare
sight to see VW cars on the road. Of all the models, Golf GTI is the most
acquired VW and day by day, an increasing number of Golf GTI can be seen on
our road.
