Car Drifting Live Action @ Bukit Jalil

Can't think of any good topic to blog about recently. Suddenly I have the feeling that I may out of topic to write soon. Anyway, I just try to share some car drifting competition photos I took at Bukit Jalil car park area about 2 months ago when I was having my working attachment in KL.

Just happened that I used LRT back to Bukit Jalil Station and prepared to walk back to Savanna Condo where I stayed. Then very sharp tyres friction noise flew into my ears. Therefore I walked to the crowd and took a look on what happened.

It was a drifting competition! Before this I just saw car drifting in movies like Initial-D and Fast & Furious. Never see it live! It was very exciting when you see the cars were driving fast then suddenly made a turn and drift. It was just like the cars going to throw off! Not all the participants could perfectly drift. Those lousier skills would turn around half way they did the drifting.

Hardly saw nice cars in this competition. Mostly saw those old cars like E70 series Toyota Corolla with modified engine. The drifting caused a lot of noise yet it was a good experience seeing the live action!

Luxury Cars Series - Mercedes Benz C63 AMG

Well... not in the mood to write long today, so basically just share these photos with you all on the luxury Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG which I met in Suria KLCC when I was having my attachment in KL.

Not so sure about its pricing and specification, but I found out some information from Mercedes-Benz Malaysia website.


  • Engine: 6.3-litre naturally-aspirated V8 engine (6208cc)
  • Power: 336 kW (457 hp)
  • Torque: 600 Nm@5000rpm
  • 0 to 100 km/h: 4.5 seconds
  • Top speed: 250 km/h
  • Fuel consumption: 13.4 litre/100 km
  • Fuel Capacity: 66 litres
  • Wheels: Front - 8Jx18-inch, rear - 9Jx18
  • Tyres: Front - 235/40 ZR 18, rear - 255/35 ZR 18


Sorry... I am not a car fanatic. So basically I am not so sure what those data means. But V8 engine sounds powerful. It only needs 4 and a half seconds to go from 0 - 100 km/h. That is great and the top speed can reach up to 250 km/h (Country highway's maximum speed is only 110km/h). The fuel consumption you can judge yourself.

Met with Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

For an ordinary people, how many times in your life you have chance to stand close, look close and feel close a super duper cool sports car which worth more than a million Ringgit? Obviously won't have much chance.

I was lucky enough when I had chance to stand close, look close and feel close a super duper sports car last week inside Pavillion on my way to Carl's Jr for lunch. It was a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano from Naza Italia.

The car was displayed at the main entrance of Pavillion shopping complex. I just cannot describe how cool the car is, but it definitely attracted a lot of attention from people walking passed by the area. I could see a lot of people took out their camera and started to shot on this extremely sexy sports car. Honestly, not many can resist his sexiness and beauty.

I was not an exception. How could I let go such a rare opportunity? I quickly took out my camera, acted like a professional photographer and started to shot on the car. From left to right, front to rear! The car was really cool especially under the shine of lighting from different angle.

The reflection from shinning car body made the car more elegant and stylish. The silver prancing horse in front of the car was rather cool and symbolic! Can you see the beauty of the prancing horse?

I was so impressed with the car espcially when it was a Ferrari - one of my favorite brand in sports car. But too bad, I couldn't stay and stare a little more longer as I was in rush for my one-hour lunch time.

One more thing I felt quite regret, is that I couldn't see the inner design of the car. It was not open for exhibition. Anyway, I should feel satisfy for being able to stand close, look close and feel close the million-dollar dream car!
