Back in 2007 ( i think), i was hanging out with my mech in Second Link, Johor. That's where we all had fun on week nights testing our machines with all those johorean car lovers. I was with EP, my mech in his car. we had just arrived from Kluang and were having a great time whacking his silvertop MIVEC with all those 92 twincam and those 93's. Moments later, things did'nt turn out well when suddenly a police helicopter swing above his car and to our surprise the lane was blocked. a factory bus was blocking our lane and the other side of the highway is blocked by a trailer. About 200 cars scatters all over the highway finding each possible exit that they could get and the streets were all messed up. Then the police in uniforms starts coming towards us and we were in for it. 500 people all escorted to the Police stations and we were all quarantine like immigrants without visa's. Eventually, we made it back the other day after paying the fines ( RM800) just to get his car out.
Later that day i went home and my friends asked me "where u've been?"..i said "jail"and they laughed about it. but i dont really care coz i'm so damned tired and went to sleep. Later that evening, my friends were all shocked to see that my mech's car is in the news and tomorrow the front page of Metro Newspaper. What a night.
As i am writing this, i kept thinking where i'm getting my skills from. how to drive and shift gears, how to manuever in lanes full of cars and how to respect rivals and make street racing fun. it was all from them, my southern friends. As i moved back to my northern region, it isnt working that way like always. Motorsports here is just about whose got a better engine and what body part you have..but it's ok..because here in the north, i learned lots about performance parts and tuning that makes the scenes here different from the southern region. Southern people tune their machine to the tuning shops but over here there are many independent tuners who tune way much better than those taukeh's...and i would like to become one of them. But really, both the northern and southern have something in common...a desire to race and RND over their machines. but because of all these, my wife to be is so fed up with me and i think it's just about time to let it go and just drive like common drivers do..hehe.hold on tight baby....
