Hello!

This blog is dedicated to our sharings about general car enthusiast life in Singapore and others, a bit of a personal memorial of our youth and what we've done, seen, experienced, enjoyed. Sadly due to how things are run here, not all cars can live a full life as they would be intended. As such, we will try to document whatever we can and archive photos of what will one day become forgottens of the past. Life is a finite experience.

Penang August 2024: D2; A workshop visit & shirt prints

 Hello.


Once again, I find myself in a similar situation as yesterday; not alot of cotent, not alot of time.



Would be my first FL5 of Malaysian registration. FFF plates are a recently introduced special plate as well, seems a good combo.


Not to be confused with a Golf cabriolet (I don't know the difference frankly), here is a Volkswagen EOS. I don't know what they are or know the origin story behind these especially when I think about the fact that these share the same platform as a Golf and subsequently would be competing against itself via the Golf Cabriolet? I definitely don't know the full story.


Airtrek to be in the shops until next day, I have my fingers crossed I'll be able to come collect it tomorrow.


Another nugget in place of a E30 the last time we visited. What is it?


Its a Alfa Romeo Spider, the convertible variant of the GTV. The GTV6 is a different car of its own right. In some ways, this went the same route as the Lotus M100 Elan did. A popular name stemmed from a classic British roadster, and given the front-wheel drive treatment.








The photos might be able to show the neglect this car once had. I wish the owner the best of luck in restoring it back.


A Thailand and Perodua plate. So, as I'd received from Myako (Do visit his Insta), the Toyota did a pretty lengthy journey going by the plate origin. A day's worth of travelling to Island Penang.


A Peugeot 208 and Infiniti M35h. Badged without the upbadge as a Nissan Fuga. Now, when you think of the Fuga, you either don't know what it is, or you know that at its best, it had a 4.5L V8. What it is is a successor to the Gloria, Cima, and Cedric. A luxury sedan that went on to be spun off under the Infiniti brand and had a production span from 2004 to 2022. This is a second generation model, and as you'd guess with the "h" badge, it is a hybrid. It isn't necessarily a slouch though, using a 3.5L V6 that produces 302bhp, but if we're playing the numbers game, everyone would rather the first generation 4.5L V8. They still look like Nissan Cefiro's to me.

A leftover Dealer sticker from Japan by the looks of things.

Went to get some clothes, got a bit carried away.





I don't watch anime, so mainstream works I have no idea. I did end up buying this though, not for the series but it has a Suzuki Carry in it, which I think is pretty neat.

Turns out that this particular outlet allows for customers to design their shirt designs and have it printed and bought. 


It isn't much and I don't really many designs on hand, so this is it. Quality is pretty crisp, although the only shirt color is white. It costed RM80, or 30SGD, which I think is pretty fair pricing, especially where buying other automotive shirts can cost 50.




Yeah sorry I don't really have much to write home about. Today's been a slow day. Actually, a friend of mine, kspotss (Insta) is coming to Penang tonight and will be shooting some cars from jdm_life_penang (Insta). kspots or Thea as I've grown to know him has expressed interest to meet if not join for a session or two of photoshoots, so I hope that tomorrow will be a bit more exciting. For now, I figure my time has ran a bit out, so its now time for me to clock out. See you!
