Yeah, tell me about it. I got a couple of nicks on my bonnet, the fact that the car's black doesn't help :'(

I hit 230+ on NS and even managed close to 200km/h on a particularly good run on the Sepang back straight (max late braking into turn 14, trying to keep up with a GT3, got into a 270 after that and almost ended up on the grass )

Would't call it abuse, just playing. I've come to this conclusion:

If I wanted just a car to get me from point a to b, a Toyota or Honda would do that.

But what I got is a BMW, then it must be coz it's really a toy first and a regular transport second, and since it's a toy, might as well play with it

So, are we gonna play on Friday? Never mind the chips; can get the bonnet done up. I've got one right next to the badge already. If nobody's game, then I'll go all the way to Genting with another friend.

We'll leave together about 0400hr on 21st. Traffic should be clear and cops and crooks should be sound asleep then.

0400 hrs is kind of early. I don't normally sleep that early on weekends. And there is a very high chance that my car will not be in good condition to travel long distance.

What is milk run, sounds interesting

I don't drive beyond 120 in NS highway nowadays. How to keep up with you guys? Besides, 0400 is also very tough for me.

Well, guess it didn't work out this time around. There'll be plenty of other chances in the future.

Yeterday's newspaper here says, BMW sales was up 20% in Asia, especially in Singapore which
boost almost 1/3. As Edlee says, E60s are really popular over there.
I was reading and interested in this thread talking about the morning trip to Malaysia with a bit
of envy.
Here, I've never done more faster than 130km/h. Speed limit on most Japanese highway is 100.
Speed-exceeding more than 30 km/h is subject to immediate suspension of lisense and the
300,000yen fine. And there are a lot of GT-R cops alnight... <_<
