Will You Do This To Your Car ???

Will you place stickers around your car to seek attention from your faulty car's manufacturer? Are you willing to go this far??!!

According to the owner:

"Three months after buying the car, the rear brakes started giving way.After having these replaced by Honda, the same problem occurred three months later with the brakes giving way in the middle of the road.

"Luckily, I wasn't hit by another car when it happened."

After sending the 15-month old car to the Honda authorised service centre, Sumber Auto, Ross claimed to have been told the car had its front brake callipers fitted wrongly during the original assembly.

Even after the brake calipers were rectified, Jess' woes continued with the calamitous Honda Accord he bought for about RM140,000.

Three months later, after getting his disc brake pads replaced for the second time, his Honda Accord started juddering again.

This time Honda mentioned the brake discs needed to be skimmed.

"On June 20 , there was a screeching sound from my front wheels and the car started juddering again. This time, I decided enough was enough. The car was towed to the Honda service centre for a fourth check on this particular screeching issue."

"My demands are simple, firstly I want Honda to fully rectify the problems on my car and include a manufacturer's guarantee that such defects will not recur.

Secondly, Honda could replace my car with another guaranteed problem-free unit. If all else fails, I want Honda to buy back the car at the purchase price."

Tasting Something Salty Around Here !!!

Like what the poster said, "Who Is Salt?". Is she really a double agent??

Below is the Russian man, Orlov, who started everything off, 'exposing' Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) as the KGB sleeper agent who will assassinate the President of Russia in US soil!

So, who is the real spy? *Hint: one of the 3 above is ^_^

After being accused by Orlov, Salt ran away from CIA to find her husband to make sure he's not harmed (ridiculous reason I would say, haha!)

Running away...

If you watched 'Alias', a drama related to spy like 'Salt', u'll see that all the spies who cover up themselves by changing their outfit and appearance.
In this movie, Salt dyed her hair with darker colour and it looks cooler compared to her blonde hair.

Btw, she looks like Michael Jackson when she was wearing the wax (?) mask!!!

Overall, not a bad movie but not very good either. Everyone was hoping for more in the ending scene ^_^
No doubt Inception is better than Salt, but it's a great effort by Angelina Jolie.

Rating: 8 out of 10 !!

Dull Replacement Models...

The all new, 2nd generation Nissan X-Trail will be launched by Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) in this week! However, the replacement is disappointing...

The design is unattractive and doesn't look as classy as Peugeot 3008 or Honda C-RV (but X-Trail is more rugged-looking).


As you can see, we are getting the 'cheap' model (the steering wheel is so 'naked'!!!). And yet, it's priced at RM149k OTR inclusive insurance! Peugeot 3008 win hands down in terms of equipment!

They kept their winning formula though, removable and washable cargo floor with hidden trays.

However, the facelifted X-Trail (for the 2nd time) was released at the same time somewhere in this world!

It look so much more modern and attractive!

Same rims with the recently facelifted Rogue!

Next up is the Waja replacement model. Proton decided to rebadge the current generation of Mitsubishi Lancer, but it is not up to my expectation...

I was expecting an all new front and rear design! But Proton only changed the front bumper and grille's design...
And pls dun tell me that rim will be the final design for the all-new Waja. It's so boring looking...

A rendering of the all-new Proton Waja!

My Car Sketches !!!

I'm a car enthusiast ever since I was a little kid! Everyday, I'll browse through automotive websites like Autoblog, Paultan etc. to read the hottest news about the automotive sector.

Let me tell u a secret: I like to sketch cars!
Some of them might look familiar to cars available in the market since my inspiration come from real car.
But these are my very own design *copyrighted*:

Midsized sedan (eg. Honda Civic)

Hot hatch (eg. Honda Civic hatchback)

4-door coupe (eg. Hyundai Sonata)

Small sport MPV (eg. Honda Stream)

Kei-car (eg. Perodua Viva/Kenari)

My sketches are production minded, meaning they are designed to be possible for production, unlike concept cars...

A side profile usually took me around an hour to complete... A whole pic above (front, side and rear profile and the interior) will take me around 3 hours.

Too bad I only know how to sketch 2D...
