Just came back from the Melaka engine de-carbonation trip. Only 5 of us turn up today:

1) Russo E46 320i
2) Adrian E46 320i
3) Edlee M6
4) Zag E60 530i
5) Zig E39 525i

This is fun! Thankfully, traffic was quite smooth and almost all of us managed to stress the limits of our engines. We should do this again.

Maybe I'll ride my sports bike the next time to keep Edlee's M6 company.

Oh yah, it always rain when I wash or polish my bike. I just make sure I don't do it before I ride.

Just returned from PSA.
Yes. When I had my problem with noises in the E46 and Alexandra couldn't rectiify it, Jeff Vasaloo had someone hide in the trunk to listen. At the end of the day, they found the problem and rectified it.

Squeeks and creaks are not really major issues although it would really be so much more enjoyable when you collect a brand new car free of these - like the M6. These are minor irritants. I gauge their competence thru their knowledge of engine and electronic problems and how they solve these. Sad to say, up to now, I am still not very happy with how they solve these.
Hi Ed,

Ride beside your M6 this morning from Braddell Road turning into CTE than Upper Serangoon Road.

It was really cool man! Didn't follow this forum for a while. So are you happy with your ride so far?

Didn't you see the grin on my face? I'm very happy with this car. Went up the NS highway with some of the guys yesterday. The pull is unbelievable!!! Managed a top speed of 273Km/h. Now waiting for the ticket!!!

Have ever check what sort of ticket you will get for overspeeding more then twice the speed limit? Mind you, the ticket may take quite a while to process and you just have to keep your finger cross. One of my friend actually was stopped in the malaysia custom for a supposed overspeeding committed more than 6 months ago.

For him, he could hardly remember because he go J.B for golf almost every weekend.

But then again, if you don't test car in NS highway, where else can you do it.

Good Luck!

WHAT? 273km/hr? Phew, good thing I didn't make it. Else, you will be back in Singapore before I even reach Malacca. Ha!

I can just imagine all the other cars you zoomed by. So, got caught with a speed trap? Guess the feeling of the sheer speed was worth whatever speeding tickets that come your way. Bet its a small price to pay for the pleasure you get.
