SPOTTED: KOUKI GOODNESS


Second-generation Corolla has always comes first in my heart, regardless in sedan, coupe, or wagon form. Referring to this stunning late-model KE20,  respect shall be given to the owner for the effort of maintaining this 40-year-old beauty to such condition. Kudo's!

EVENT: THE MEET-UP, OCCC + BRUNEI


One of the most happening automotive event had just completed on 11 August 2012 with the collaboration of Car Clubs in Miri and Brunei; in effort to make the event 'Majlis Berbuka Puasa PGX Virtual Community 2012', a success.



Without wasting much time, we shall start with the participants on that day. At 6pm sharp, Boi's Corolla Coupe arrived with the others, leading the convoy. 



Increase your heart-pumping rate with this nicely done up KE74 Wagon on deep-wide Enkei AP Racing, followed by an immaculate third-generation Galant Sigma, and a striking blue Savanna RX-7.



A formation of more than 20 classic rides if you ask me. Nothing beats the feeling of watching all kinds of classic cars gathered like this.



Corolla AE70 to be exact. Who needs a 'LIKE' button if the driver himself gave one.



Another 74' Corolla Coupe came up to complete the event.



There was undeniably a lot of cars as the organizer had to double-line the parking space to fit all cars inside the compound.

SNAP: SPICY PEANUT


Who says a four door sedan ain't sexy and adorable? You are going to change your mind after seeing this pristine second-generation Corolla KE20. It looked kinky in red, shiny chromes all around and sitting on 12-inches steel wheel, complete with wheel cap. Too bad this KE20 lost its OEM fender side mirror and fender antenna, else it looked like it just stepped out of the dealership in 1970's.

EVENT: A GREAT WEEKEND IN PUTRAJAYA PART 2


Welcome to the second part of coverage from Millions of Youth Gathering in Putrajaya. Without wasting much time, I will continue to share the heart-pumping rides from the event with this historic 4 door sedan from the land of Rising Sun.



I go weak at the knees when I see a second-generation Corolla, and this particular KE20 kouki was simply spotless. Every single thing on this car was perfect that it could make any KE20 owners out there faint on the spot. Hope the owner manages to find a replacement for the front hood trim soon.



Judging from this view, I believe this KE20 had undergone proper restoration work as the door and bonnet lines were straightly aligned. Notice the chrome wheel cap? Who says a classic doesn’t look cool on 12-inches steelies.



The famous platform for USDM modifications, but on the other hand for this Volkswagen Golf MKII Cabriolet.



More vintage Volkswagen goodness here with this mild blue Karmann Ghia.



It's hard not to like this Volvo P1800 and like most European performance cars that I see in Malaysia, it looks similar to its brother during that event, the Amazon 123GT.



Two door convertible Mercedes S300, a mature option for hot babes hunting to the 635 CSI that I mentioned in Part 1.



What a clean and tidy engine bay for a 50-year-old chassis. Notice the Crosland Air Filters which are no longer produced. For your information, the Crosland was the OEM manufacturer for the  most prominent British vehicle manufacturers like; Bentley, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Range Rover and many others.



One of my findings on that day was this sexy MGB Roadster in solid 2K red. I go weak at knees again spotting this kind of spoke wheels…



…with a combination of classic interior and some modern elements.



The infamous vintage and featured in many movies starting in 1970’s, meet this Ford Anglia 105E…



…that featured a cool illustration as well on the rear windscreen.



A moment later, I found this RR Silver Shadow II with heavy black tint all around. To make this more interesting, this car was manufactured in a very limited number and it is one of the expensive vintage in the world. A good example of money-can’t-buy-anything concept.



Let’s pay a respect to this gigantic 1954 Packard Clipper Deluxe. If you are familiar with the size of Datsun Fairlady 280ZX, you can imagine the actual size of this Clipper Deluxe. In my point of view, it could fit a family of 10 without any problem.



Take a look at this Mercedes 220S. It looked like it just stepped out of the dealership.



Can you get any more badass than this first-generation 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville? A very good selection on mild color to lower the ‘mafia’ level.



The name "De Ville" is adapted from the French de la ville or de ville meaning "of the town" (Source: cadillacdatabase.net).



V-configured weapon on that day with this stunning Chevrolet Camaro



A nice Mini Moke was spotted around the corner…



…with a revealing hood exposing the amazing engine bay.



What a relaxed and casual interior to sit in. The rattan steering and chair made me crave to go to nearby beach and enjoy the fresh breeze.



Some patriotic touch-ups at the back for good.



Back to the performance side from Europe, more Ford marque was exposed with this 2 doors Escort MKII.



And on my way back, spotted this cool modern classic BMW E34…



…and I ended shooting this Iswara Aeroback running on the vintage wheels that every Japanese Classic Car enthusiasts out there craving for, the Hayashi Street.

See you next time.

EVENT: RANDOM SNAP AT MIRI BIKE WEEK


Some sneak peeks from last event, let's enjoy the pictures from Asrol Ardi's lens. Starting from this orange TA28, I won't get bored sitting at the corner the whole day and enjoy this view.



Rust is not a crime, but it is actually classic cars' best friend. Unstoppable, but you can slows it down.



Banana-type TE37 taillight is just awesome. Kudo's to the designer in 1970's.




You just cannot resist to like classic motorbikes, for how stunning they are.




When you cannot find many hot girls to enjoy their back view, these cars rear end will do.



The pamphlet of the event.



One of the coolest cafe racer that day. Single seater and raw naked look, could not ask more.



Ever wonder how does Napoleon GT fender mirror in box look like? Very lucky guy to find this New-old-stock aftermarket part.



Some must-have stickers for Japanese Nostalgic Car enthusiasts.



The pros of having spacious rear segment on liftback, you can bring a BMX around without the need of roof rack.



Custom front spoiler on fourth-generation Galant Sigma. 



Well, you cannot deny to have a duck-tail spoiler for the sake of aerodynamics...



..when you are running on this. 



The name says it all.




That's all for now. See you guys in next event.
