JPJ predicts high bids for latest Perak reg plate...could be expensive but we have a cheaper option.

Of course. The plate AKU 8055 or AKU 1305 which basically says 'aku boss' or I am the boss in Malay. The '1305' spells out if you put the 1 and 3 closer than legally allowed. How expensive? Well, it could at least hit RM10,000 I think. Like the minimum for single digit plates. But my friend has a suggestion for another plate...

The Mercedes Benz W124 - Future Proof car of the 1980s and 1990s

The Fasting month of Ramadhan is a time where things slow down a bit. A lot actually. So I have had some time to ponder on things which are slightly trivial like the car above.

Spotted For Sale: HARI RAYA PROMOTION 1990 PROTON SAGA - SOMETHING YOU WANT TO BALIK KAMPUNG IN STYLE WITH....

Its the Hari Raya season again and everyone wants to head back to their hometown for some R&R and to meet up with their loved ones. It is also the time where many buy a new car to make that journey home a little more meaningful and a little more memorable. The guy with the new car always feels the proudest at the family home as his car is the most shiny among the lot. Of course it isn't easy forking out the cash to do so these days and sometimes, the new car may not be a new car but a used one. A slightly used one like the one in the photos herein. 

But I must say that the used car company selling the car is surely very ambitious in its description.
