... guess I am not eligible for this drowining sorrow sessions.....

My friend once said.... all you need to do to keep yourself happy is to keep your wifey happy first

If not, no end to this business....

 

[wobbles]

Bro, actually, at the end of the day, I think it makes us husbands feel good that we can what's that word, spoil (manja) our wives a bit - I certainly feel it's only right that our wives get to enjoy and share in the success of their husbands - after all, if not for them, I dare say we wouldn't be who and where we are today

 

[DJH]

HAH! Suddenly, I don't feel so bad anymore. Mine only wanted cluster house - and thank goodness, semi-D was good enough hahah! Thank you bro DJH, for making me feel less terrible.

aiyo, dun understand why need bungalow. Now already has 4 toilets for 3 of us also got problem to use/manage. Bungalow got what 7 to 8 toilets. Morning pansai toilet 1....and so on and so forth untill i conquered all, then the cycle begin

 

[ck318ci]

hahha... Bro
think of it this way, you have a bungalow, bigger car porch.. to fill up the void space.. must buy a 7 series F02 to complement your 3, and 5.

 

[DJH]

I actually hated big car. Even I feel F10 is too big. I nearly end up with 2 F10. I think my next car to office should be less obvious i.e. VW. Actually was thinking of adding Z4 to the fleet but see how la. For Z4 price, might as well buy GTR R35 or porche

 

[ck318ci]

yes yes...we give and must take..
You give your wife a bungalow, must take something back by rewarding yourself with a Z4.

When she KPKB( Complain father complain mother) you say... you want this Bungalow.. Is more than enough for me to buy 7 different colours Z4! One colour for each day.. Then silence begins..( Reversal of Bro Wobble's sediments)

 

[manjohari]

i'll definitely join the Sorrow TT !

Wobbles /ROARS with laughter .... This one is a CLASSIC... MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... I gotta file this away (screen capture DJH's answer).

 

[RH5]

wHOaaAh RH5. This is scary. For a moment there, I thought you'd married MY wife.

How come that sounded JUST SO MUCH LIKE something my wife would (and has on many occasions) say!?!?!?!

haha.. this shows we married the right specie bro... we are normal... hehe

I am actually quite curious to know what was your answer to that?

i applied the ''silence is golden'' rule... its like no lahhh, nothing lahh.. then just shut up ajer... hehe I think this is one of the most effective way which i learnt during my nearly 3 years old of marriage... hahaha

Dun think it work, tried....tested... and kena balik. Everyday flip car mag to envy car like Z4, in now (counting) toilet No.3. Hehehe

woi, dun lafff ok. Guess u have as many toilets like mine right? How many u tainted with your pansai already?

Bro DJH, mine is a humble cluster house (what I think you call a gated community in Malaysia?) - semi D only. Nothing compared to your bungalow! I don't even have extra space to park a 3rd car! You know, it's quite laughable. What we call a 'house' in Singapore, you would probably snort and choke over your coffee & say "that's a house!?". A bit malu.

Anyway, prior to making the decision to part with my hard earned money for the F13, I too had seriously contemplated getting the E89 Z4 sdrive35is. I liked the fact that it was beautiful, and had a retractable hard top (2 cars for the price of one!) Straight line speed for the Z4 35is was as quick as the E92 M3, but every other review I read gave it poor marks for handling & suspension. Also, frankly, the Z4 is old technology (E designation), whereas the latest technology design is the F designation. I also test drove it - quite extensively - and found the ride to be a little too firm & artificially harsh.

Wife also complained that everytime she tried to get out of the car, she had to worry about someone grabbing a upskirt shot - that's how low it appeared to her!

And, of course, when Her Majesty complains, that's the E.N.D of C.O.N.V.E.R.S.A.T.I.O.N

 

[DJH]

funny leh, why my wife has been egging me to buy Z4? I must use your excuses. Thanks ya

Bro, Cluster house in singapore is a rare exclusivity...
80% Population lives in HDB.

Dont be too modest.

 

[DJH]

both of u earn sing dollar so very much richer than me and your houses are much more costlier than my bungalow. Now I should be the one feeling better

 

[wobbles]

Bro DJH, houses in Malaysia NOT cheap ok. If I recall correctly, one of my sister in laws who lives in one of the gated communities (LakeEdge) bought her - I think it's called a superterrace - for nearly RM1,000,000! There's another sister in law who recently bought a Semi-D @ Kinrara (I think that's the spelling) for nearly RM2,000,000. (Yes, my wife has many sisters!). I think a good bungalow in KL can easily be RM10,000,000 and above now!

 

[DJH]

mine is mini bungalow so very-very-very-very cheap. Good thing is it has 8 toilets (ya la, good thing for some others). Best thing, can park min 8 cars (at least 4 cover car porch).

The best compromise if you want a smooth and quiet diesel engine is to get the inline 6 turbo diesel, the ones they put in the X5 3.0d or the 335d (not available in Msia yet due to Euro4 diesel requirement). Inline 6 engines are inherently smoother due to the cancellation of 1st and 2nd order harmonic noise cancellation.

But yeah, with diesel giving more mileage and fuel being a finite resource sooner or later everyone will have to get use to it, or drive an electric car where there will be zero noise unless the there is an interior sound generator that makes your Prius sounds like a Ferrari with Capristo exhaust

 

[DJH]

Euro 4 /5 only compulsory by 2014. Just announced by transport minister yesterday

 

[ALBundy]

Once its Euro 4/5, then more car manufacturers will bring in their diesel cars and this will only be good for the consumers. But diesel price will also increase due to higher refinery cost.
