LEGENDS OF THE ROAD part II

Continue with Part II



I got the opprtunity to shot this 2 classic side by side


A true classic austin . I dont recall the model.

Look at the basic technology. Apart of the battery though

The simplicity

Kudo's to the owner

And this beauty

A unique thing on this car

Everything about this car is unique

Im also lucky enough to see this 190sl in original condition

A complete restoration i suppose. Or maybe just imported from Europe as the number plate is new

Note the FC

and the laugh of the day.

But the race stops. Need to clear a landing plane before continue the race again. Its rather dangerous to spectator as the plane landed pretty close to us. A mistake could lead to fatal. A big NO to things like this.

And im fascinated to see this Opel GT

A stunning piece of beauty crafted with a nice engine

The front resembles a Ferrari Daytona

And this 510 arrive

Along with this weird car

The drag continues , supposely with a correct category. But the management is a bit slobby, the cars were mixed up . Some payed for the drag, and some drag for free. Its confusing.

The exciting drag event is between this two. The Volvo seems like pretty stock. But it won that day, it was a fast car.. and the noise it produce sounds like using a Weber setup.

The race between this two rotary also attracts a lot of attraction. The sound of that 'RX2' is utterly brutal. Louder than the airplane that landed i supposed.

at 2 PM. We left the event as there is nothing much to do. Our initial plan was to camp there for a day, as the event will continue until sunday.

As we were leaving, we had a little though. Its not as it was claimed. The big misunderstand and bad management make us fed up with event. Its not as exciting as it should be, its not as fun as it was claimed. It was rather a boring and dull event

Such a waste

LEGENDS OF THE ROAD Part 1

LEGENDS OF THE ROAD event coverage

Located at Bernam River Airfield. This event claimed to be a vogue event presenting classic cars from old time.

So we were there to witness how great this event can be. Thanks to Ojan, we only went with his car and join some VW folks to convoy there.

So we started our journey at 6am from Ampang to Slim River (PERAK)


The day started rather well until we reached the route to the airfield, It was horrible. Potholes and gravel road about 8KM tested our patience.


The unbearable continues when we were entering the airfield. It cost us RM30 per entry but not per car, it includes passenger and even the villagers.

But our frustation ended when we saw these bunch of cars laying in front of us


From classic

vintage

and modern classic

Even this 280xz joined it

and suprisingly, this rare beauty

Ford Popular

And a nice and straight TA22

Mini's

Rotary group special invites from MyRides also came. With a bunch of rotary's

CitroEn CX

A hippie thing

VW Karman Ghia

With RR configuration, Its nice

This beauty also arrived

seems like Austin Healey. Correct me if im wrong

we then proceed to the airstrip to see the drag race. The special thing about this event is the drag racing is at the airstrip. Thus the big space and straight road tested the car's limits.

A Bug's race

A special 510 with rotary turbo

And fitted with coupe rear lights. Will cost you around RM3K for this set of lights.

more on this event later

Part 1.

AK Ojan : BulletBug

Is it a car? Or is it a beast? A thrill ride in this car indeed, its not only a spruce modifications. Its also includes a power improvements.

A journey that took over 3 years to finished, finally accomplished with the owner's taste.

It also given a name , the BulletBug

This Volkswagen 1303 or known as Super Beetle had a major restoration which took 3 stages to get this result.

Starts from body stripping , welding and paint , and installing the stuffs back.

Special thing about 1303 is this model has a dashboard, this makes modifications a bit easier to install aftermarket RPM, fuel gauge, Volt , oil pressure , push start button and other switches that resembles a racing car.

With a hint of slick 255/50/15 . It means business.

ADVANTAGE of rear engine vehicle

And he problem is..

The main idea of the design is from RAUH-Welt Begriff (RWB) A company that makes a bodykit and a racing car for old PORSCHE. Mainly it just involve flat black , wide fenders and a spoiler.

The lips and the spoiler forms a great resemblance of RWB vehicle.

The owner also installed TAKATA harness belted on Full buckets for the driver and semi-buckets for the passenger. Together with racing net to make things spice a bit.

This car is such a head turner. A modifications that will never fade others impression on it, as this is one-off VW 1303 with a wild and simple modification like this. And that makes this car a head turner whether on the street, or in a event.

Its a 3 years well spent.

"its better to spend time doing things precisely, rather than spend more time regretting"
