VC, thanks for being our first lady Marshall.

Many thanks to you Bro Jarance for giving me the opportunity although I must say I was a Marshall that needs to be Marshalled also hahahaha.
It was a great experience. So happy with the new toy ie the walkie talkie and listening to the other Marshalls made me laugh alone whilst driving.
I want my own walkie talkie now

Guys, Thanks!!....

My Adventure:-

I departure at 2 am and before reach to pagoh, tyre punture due to nail!! and punture again 10KM before seremban R & R. I patiently wait till 6 am at Serembam R & R, i pump extra air into the tyre and travel all the way to Sri Petaling as i know there is one tyre shop open at 8:15 am. I bought a new tyre 265/35 Nexan (Only this type available). At 10 am, my tyre installation complete and start my journey via Kesas. Before i reach to Slim river the Idrive prompt the fault again!!...i am very frustrated at the moment. I stop at the R & R and i go below my car and re check all the tyre condition.

I inflate all my tyre and re pump the air again as i found the problem where the fault is cause by unbalance air among the 4 tyre and the major one is the new tyre where the air need to be reduce due to the new thread where is thicker. Immidiately i calculate the Psi on the tyre and pump in the necessary air. Finally, i am able to reach to Juru Auto city at 1.30pm sharp.

This bad luck is not ended here yet, 3 road block all the way to Juru (Tak kena) and plus 2 superbike blocking the way (BMW rulez!!) plus once i reach to the Inokom, my idrive display gone blank, Active Steering Fault promp up.

Everything ended when we finish our factory visit and enough time to do power reset before proceed to the hotel. But when i reach to hotel...Knock out, very tired...but still able to take my dinner...before i go to bed..heheh.

Bro, i m so sorry you kena like this, but it's usual at this time to kena punture, cos this time the bad road kutu will throw nails on the highway... then they will come fast, usally at early mornings...

I learn from my lead car TQ Bro Mac for keeping up the good pace. It must be quite hard for you to maintain to that reasonable limit wit your fast car. But I guess, as a group we try to make everyone as comfortable as possible throughout the drive at a reasonable pace.

Thank you again Ninja Turtle Lead Car...

p/s: So happy 1st time got to use walkie talkie

Bro mac thx too for being a lead at rasonable speed as well as fadhlan who was sleeping while following behind me.bro dzul made me feel terbakar as he drove along and one second later he was far ahead of me hehe..Had to struggle to climb the hills unlike VC. Wonder if she really had a1.8 underhood. Like anthony, my car also end up in bengkel as condensor got leak.maybe due to the rough uneven road the screws become loosen and it happily rubbed oil cooler until it leaked.
Is there anyone else end up repairing after the drive?

same here ezzo, all 4 wheels of my diesel BENGKOK! big time ezzo. I left Png on Saturday afternoon heading for the East West Highway going to Kota Bahru. Spent a nite there and left for Kuantan on Sunday. The journey back was good until I reached Bukit Besi! There were just too many potholes and afyer too many dodging left and right, one finally got me ...

The deep dish is now off the car and being refurbished. Lesson "never" learnt, never speed at nite during rainy season while on the back stretch of Bkt Besi-Jabor-Jerangau ....

will post some pics a bit later..... :4:
