True blue pal

Soon and I were just wandering around town last night, just checking out the night life since it's been some time since any of us had been partying. We were going along the UPR (Upper Penang Road) stretch when Mark called up and asked if we wanted to meet up. As "busy" as Soon and I were, we hurriedly agreed and sped off to the Caltex station meeting point.

Mark soon arrived with Daniel in tow, and a bright set of HIDs were following suit... Whom other than our true blue touge kaki from KL, Shazwan was in town! We were chatting away to the sounds of Kardinal Offishall and having a few drinks from the store.

What does a touge-head do when in Penang? You'd have to check out the routes here of course! Daniel had already brought Shazwan and Mark up to the dam and back, but they'd left out one route so I could have a little fun to quench my "thirst". Without further ado, we filled up, warmed up and got to driving :) It was a fairly fast paced lap around Vale of Tempe, after which Shazwan got a call and we had to head back to meet up with his better half.

We were turning of to Gurney when Shazwan called and his DC5 got stuck on a low curb. Being an out-of-towner, he didn't know of the low, sloping extension in front of the traffic lights and went over it with his front wheels with his ass still hanging in the air. Soon and I lifted the rear as Daniel slowly released the clutch to unhinge the DC5's butt.

Shazwan was feeling a little down and out but luckily nothing major had occured and we all left for home happily ever after :)

The Silver Banana hasn't been to touge in quite a while. Tonight was a real refresher course!

*psst* We met a very "enthusiastic" Smart For Two on the way back. He drove like an ass, we had our fun and laughed our asses off! (Sorry no pics, I told you we were laughing our asses off!)

Chatting at the roadside is just... Old skewl! I likes...

Touge for Friendship 130508

I was at home from work last night when my friend Shazwan from KL called up to inform me he was in Kedah and would drop by yesterday evening. I was expecting him to be coming in his DC5 but I got a shock when I saw him drive this monster in:

We met up at Kapitan opposite Queensbay Mall and had some drinks when Patrick, Raj, Daniel, Chris and Akihito joined us and decided to show Shazwan the TB touge.

We convoyed to the Shell station at the base of the touge to fill up for the route ahead.

We started off on Tun Sardon Road with Raj in the lead, followed by Akihito, then myself, Patrick, Chris and finally Daniel whom was kind enough to pace for Shazwan (whom was not slow btw!). The V8 monster was right behind us everytime we slowed down just a little.

We went up early as Shazwan had to leave for home later on, so the touge was full of traffic although we overtook most of them and still had our fun!



We then continued into the TB touge where I was to take lead due to familiarity with the route. I'm not sure whom was pursuing me as I was having too much fun in the touge and avoiding the motorcycles and occasional car. But everyone made it past in a speedy pace.



We stopped at the dam for some laughs and a ciggie then proceeded to convoy onto the highway to lead and bid farewell to our dear friend Shazwan.

We stopped by Gurney Drive to have just a simple photo op as we were hurried for time.

Check out the emblem... I love the font! *Quattro is Audi's 4WD system*
Thanks for coming over for touge action with us bro. I hope you bring YOUR car next round ;)
