Lunch with Kev and his friends...

Met with Kev, ericmaxman and JonSpark last week. I had not seen Kev aka the crazy neo driver for some time, it certainly bring back some crazy memories, and yes, my first accident at Genting too!!!

The crazy driver:


JonSpark and Ericmaxman, both from LYN and Kampar.



Kev was supposing come and collect the car he bought here, but due to the shop owner was away when they reach, we went for lunch first. Food was not bad, RM60++ for 4 person.



Kev's was driving Neo when I first known him, after that he drove the Mercedes C-Class W202 (or is it W203?). Then now he had his eye set on his new car! It's a Honda, the Honda S600!!

Below is his car at the workshop, preparing to be towed back to Kampar, and for restoration progress before it was able to be driven on the road! Besides, the they key was lost too already, so....hm....great salute to Kev for getting this rare breed :p

LOL. this car already ended up in micro car museum

http://www.microcarmuseum.com/tour/honda-s600.html

so i know my car's residual value, when sold to angmoh is worth that much. not bad what. plus i know a guy in germany spent more then 30,000 EUROS to restore his car only to be sold off at 25,000 EUROS. Madness, but this is for the love of cars. my blog has details on the car :D. Feel free to check out the blog at http://www.kampar.net . Btw, lets swap links, lol!

i know it may be nuts to actually own an older car, but, the fun of restoring a car is the priceless experience for life. haha. not everyone would understand that. great to have you post the meet up :D

kev said...

anyways, licia, i have something meaner than a lorry, lol. its 2.5 litres, all american steel, can knock any idiots off the road and have no dent!

google jeep wrangler 2.5 yj

Sam Lee said...

haha yeap, would love to see how you restore it :D

maybe in the future i can copy ur car after restore and compare it when you buy :D

kev said...

copy, as in pictures and stuff? btw, theres a convertible version that is for sale in this part of perak. i heard its in tambun. heard it was ex-royalty owner, the previous crown price of perak, son of sultan idris shah used to own it. not sure how much he is willing to part for it, but there's hardly any surviving examples of the honda s600 in malaysia. btw, theres also a ford anglia in bedong too! you can become harry potter, lol

Sam Lee said...

yea, copy the pic like i copy your picture of the car :D

LOL, no way man, i am not into classic car and restoration of it yet :p

if i got the moolah, i will do something about my 8, or get a neo and transplant it :D

kev said...

lol the pure reason i bought this car is that , this is the cheapest, most recognisable sports car i could buy with my money, lol. asking my father for a 200k sports car (like your case) would means self murder! at least this is not that bad lol.

Sam Lee said...

lol he initially wanted to get the new bimmer 3 series, but no way i getting that :p

btw, i din ask him to get that car for me. he sudenly sold of the car i driving, and let me got no car to drive,so i just take the money he get from selling off my E46 and buy the car, ROFL.

kev said...

damn smart, lol! bimmer 3 is so under-spec. when i test drove the car, the car's seat isnt fully automatic, adjust up and down yes, but, its manual forward and back, damn lame for a car that ur paying almost 1/4 of a million lol. so the w204 was a better choice, considering also, 184bhp, 250nm, supercharged engine. plus damn reliable after 6 years r&d and 1terrabyte of 3d modelling and real life endurance in the arctic and sahara, lol!

Sam Lee said...

haha, the E90 is however a nicer car la, got loads of features that i like, such as GPS,voice navigation, keyless entry, parking cam amd such, but to me, no upgrade to E46 in terms of power and handling, its like driving back the same car :S

and i just dont really like merz, just too old looking :D

A4 however is different story :p

kev said...

the newer merc, the w204, has won various awards, especially in top gear, executive car of the year and also what car australia, car of the year, beating other cars like mazda 2 and another ford, lol! it looks more sleeker and its nice, if u decided to add kits, and make it look like dtm (german touring championship. merc has gps, voice navi too, only the c230 has them, plus u have the flip up reverse camera screen, i bought my color, exactly the same as national treasure 2, staring nicholas cage, chase car, lol!

but yes, audi a4 is nice, only thing its ff, its more like driving a golf gti with a sedan boot and a 4 circle badge, lol! over all, not too bad , just gotta love the running light led
