Toyota CAMRY caught on fire
A Toyota CAMRY was seen to be caught on fire yesterday along the NKVE highway en route to Jalan Duta. The cause of fire is still anyone guess but it certainly looked like it started from the engine bay. This chaos causes massive traffic jams along the highway as it occurs during the peak hours when everyone is rushing back to their homes after office hours. It is not the first time that we hear about cars being caught on fire here in Malaysia, there have been some cases involving BMW, Protons and other makes. Wonder what could be the cause?...

Crazy hill climb drifting...
One hell of a video. Amazing drifting going uphill on a narrow mountain pass. Just like what the Japs invented. The video itself was quite good with little or no special effects. Enjoy guys..

Honda B16A intake modded into CAMPRO CPS
Just a short while ago i wrote about the Skunk 2 intake manifold for Honda B series engine that was extensively modified to fit the CAMPRO CPS, and now the same tuner or fabricator i should say, have modded the OEM intake manifold from a B series Honda engine to be fitted to a CAMPRO CPS engine. The idea is the same, get more air flowing into the cylinder. More air gets into the cylinder the better. As far as the cost is concern, it is still affordable if compared to the Skunk 2 intake manifold. It stills requires some machining to be done, but a a very minimal level.

SHOCKING Accident caught on video
Saw this video on YouTube today. Accident took place in Saudi. Think this is a member of the "Crazy Drifters" who Drifts and Power Slide their car recklessly on open public road. The Saudi government has issued a statement earlier this week that the perpetrators caught will be beheaded. It was a tragedy waiting to happen. My prayers goes out to the driver and passenger of that ill fated car. Drive safely everyone. Only race in a proper and secured track/events.

Hot Wheels Double Loop Dare!
A new WORLD RECORD was set at 2012 X-GAMES in Los Angeles earlier today. The challenge was to tackle the famous Hot Wheels Double Loop track that was famous during my child days back in the 80s. Every kid that have ever played with cars especially Hot Wheels cars would have recognize the Double Loop track. Only this time, it is huge and for real cars, not toys anymore. Famous racing driver Tanner Foust and stunt driver Greg Tracy were given the privilege to drive on the massive track built entirely for this record. The loop itself is 6 stories high and the drivers was upside down for a full 3 seconds. It was said that the drivers experienced G-FORCE up to 7 times their body weight. Awesome!!

FORZA AZZURRI
As EURO 2012 coming to an end. Here is a tribute for the team that i have always supported ever since i was 13. Back then it was Roberto Baggio, then came Alessandro Del Piero and Paolo Maldini. But, for tonight's Final of EURO 2012, i am hoping that Andrea Pirlo will boss the midfield and thread some wonderful through balls to disintegrate the Spanish defense. FORZA AZZURRI
