Raub Breakfast Run ~ Sept Official Drive

[fabianyee]

Big thank you to Harbajan for being such a good and generous host...
Overdose of yummy roti canai and curry chicken.... burp....

After breakfast was the sempalit groundnut factory tour to see millions of nuts on the floor having a sun tan and some lost car nuts walking around...

The tofu factory in Bukit Koman New Village was an impromptu trip. The new villagers were all so awed seeing so many 'boh ma' (cantonese for BMW) coming to their little village... The 'tofu pok' (not PORK) which the boss cut for us to sample was good, so was the fresh home made soy milk...

On the way back from Bentong, we decided to be cheapskate - don't want to pay toll, and took the trunk road to Genting Sempah.... Which I think everyone had fun driving the twisties... Joy for the drivers, pity for the passengers..

Then from Genting Sempah, a few even more cheapskate loose nuts took the toll free road from there to Gombak.. This stretch not so happening as there are more narrow stretches and lorries plying the road... So we took it easy....

That's the summary for the day trip.....

Thank you to everyone for organizing.. especially to the organizers and group leaders who had to wait for us slowcoaches.

Big thanks also to Harbhajan for taking us around Raub and experience the local industries. Hope to be able to join up with you guys again!

A fun and exciting trip indeed. Who needs a roller coaster theme park?! We own one, sitting in one, driving one!

Glad that all made it back safely despite few dramas and close moments that few of us will be remembering and talk about it for years to come! :listen:

Enough rempit for now.. so people, drive safely now, save the tyres and brakes for the next one! [aiks.. right leg cramp liao!!]

Meanwhile, I was overwhelmed by the new OM signups, almost ran out of forms.. You people are champion! :top:

Last but not least, a big thank you to our host, harbhajan and all the participations because without them, nothing is possible!

Photo album time! :love:

A big thank you to Harbhajan for being such a gracious host in Raub, the food was excellent and definitely memorable!!!

Also thanks for arranging the Sempalit groundnut factory visit & Kg. Koman Tofu factory visit also. That was a bonus!!...The soya milk big bottle just disappeared within 10 mins of arriving back home..he he..

Thanks also to the committee for a job well done & great organisation of the convoy to ensure nobody got lost..especially newbies in drives like me!!

Looking forward to the next one if I can make it..

Cheers

Sure.. don't thank me.. I was just driving.. my passenger took all the photos!

I myself am not sure about downloading or saving.. All I can think of is directly link to the page on Flickr to this page (like Astroboy did on previous page). Then from this website you can right-click and download.

man oh man ..what a drive with lotsa thrils and not to mentioned the slow speed limit that made everyone pass with flying colour .... 3 members sign up after knowing that BMWCM convoy is way too slow for them .cuz they are having the most powerful car around ...an ///M in the list too ...

a big thanks to Harbajan as being the host for us in RAUB ...and also to BMWCM members OM and immediate sign up on the spot ones ...committee for sure too ...

was shock too see so many of others at BHP as we had close to 30 cars cramping the karak highway and scare the hell out of the local folks at bentong and raub ...drive to RAUB took us less than an hour with everyone chasing after CAR NO 1 ...

who larr this person of car no 1 ...he tamed all the ///M , V8's and the rest of the freaking petrol heads ...

some even graduated with flying colours as we had too many driving instructor that tough us how to overtake from the left side of the road if you can make it from the right ...but with slow speed limit of course ...

waking up as early as 5 infact was worth while for a breakfast drive ...and infact we even had a member that sober down once arriving raub ....

seems like everyone had a good time and hope we can make another bashing drive before the end of 2010 ..same time glad to know every1 reached home safely ...

anyway waiting for more pictures

one word : you GUYS are slow drivers larrr
