We’re all going on a summer holiday!

Posted October 31, 2005 at 9:12 pm in General Nonsense, Trips & Travel

No more working for a week or two.

Well I treated my car to a service yesterday, after it’s incident[/url], it’s feeling a little depressed.

Cost me a fair amount, but it always does when it comes down to changing my tyres at 300 bucks a pop…RM1200 just for the tyres, then I had oil change, new oil filter, gear oil changed, power steering fluid changed, tyres changed, 3 rims repaired, camber adjusted, alignment, balancing and a few other little bits and bobs, ouch!

My weapon of choice for the wheels is the Pirelli Dragon, bad ass tyre indeed.

The tyres react very quickly to input as the asymmetric tread pattern takes care of performance handling: in cold or hot, wet or dry conditions, off the line or in corners. The large drainage channels are particularly commendable in doing the wet job on hand, offering aquaplaning resistance for a high level of safety. Its V and W speed ratings hit the 270 km/h mark allowing the car to sweep smooth all the way through curves or when barrelling down the straights.

It handles very well in both the wet and dry with it’s deep asymmetric tread pattern.

The reason? A long drive up to Penang, I want my car to be safe and smooth, yay!

Anyway I was supposed to leave in the middle of the night, but I kind of fell asleep…so well I’m leaving now, I’ll be back on Thursday, so sorry to you addicts, but no updates until then 😉

Have fun!
