My Trip To Brisbane, Australia Pt.1

Holden HSV Monaro GTO with personalized plate!

Hi Readers!  Sorry for not posting in the past 2 weeks as I was having my family holiday at Brisbane, Australia.  It was a fun filled trips.  I also drove to Gold Coast as part of my holiday plan.  Along the way I encountered a lot of nice rides.  Rides which never made it to Brunei anymore, such as Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon.  Here are some pictures I took while holidaying down under! Enjoy!

 My all time favorite HSV, the MALOO R8, which also mean "Thunder" in Aborigines

New Generation Holden Commodere SV6 (VF Series)

Another Holden Monaro with personalized plate "POWRED"

Holden SV6 UTE

This type of Sports Ute is common in Australia.  People uses them to carry tools or goods around.  It is a 2 seater and you can have them in V6 all the way to the HSV V8 performance series.

When Old VZ Series and New Met VF Series

Another Made-In-Australia, the famous Ford Falcon.  Direct competition of Holden Commodore

The Ford Falcon XR6 Sports Ute

Sadly we won't be seeing any Made In Australia Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon in 2-3 years time.  They will be discontinued and will no  longer be made as GM, Ford and Toyota are shutting down their factories in down under.
 

Project : Blue Devil - Fitted Groovy Shades For My MINI Countryman S!

Finally fitted the shades into my MINI.  I officially gives these shades two thumbs up! If you are looking for a shade that will fit perfectly in your car look no further!  I recently contacted Groovy Shade of Malaysia regarding about shade for my Jeep SRT.  Surprisingly I got my replied in less then 1 day and they had confirmed to me that it will be made!  

Front window

Rear window

C-pillar small window

Here is how it looks like

Don't bother with the clips or holders because it required gluing to your interior door panels.

Project : Blue Devil - Groovy Shades For My MINI Countryman S!

Just received new goody for my MINI Countryman S.  Come to think about it, it really has been a while since I last touched my MINI. This one here is not a performance enhancement part but more like an accessory for the interior! As you know Brunei weather is freaking hot!  So these shades really help cool down the car.  I bought them for a reasonable price (BND$160++)

Groovy shade are made in Taiwan as stated from the packaging but I believe they also have a factory in Malaysia.  The shades are a tight fitment fit for all my MINI side windows.  It consists of six pieces of shades. Two for the front windows, two for the rear windows and two for the tiny rear windows. It also comes with all the accessories need to fit them.

I purchased these from Groovy Shades Brunei in Facebook. Make sure you look for them as he is the cheapest in town.  The other guy I spoke to told me he is the sole distributor but want to charge me over $200+ for a similar item!  Shop smartly guys!

Another successful SRT Brunei meet-up at The Empire Hotel.  These time 9 cars joined compare to 4 cars a few months ago.  As you can see from the pictures Cherry Red is a popular color among the Jeep SRT.  The crew went for a quick coffee at Bunker after these photos were taken.  Everyone is enjoying and sharing info on our SRT.  We didn't convoy to anywhere but that will be our top list for our next meet.  Till then....
