My Trip To Brisbane, Australia Pt.4

8th Gen Honda Civic

Continuation of my trip to Brisbane.  I spotted these two Honda's from my relative house and a parking lot.  I really have no idea why  we do not get these version in Brunei.  The brown color is the 8th Generation 4-door version which we do get the 2 door version in Brunei.  The silver color is the latest 9th generation Honda Civic that has yet to appear in Brunei.  What do you think? Good looking Honda Civic?

My Trip To Brisbane, Australia Pt.3

Here is Part 3 of car spotting in Brisbane, Queensland.  I spotted this cool AMG CLA45 at a shopping mall and the color immediately caught my attention.  I am sure this color is not in the catalog but it is an official color from AMG called SolarBeam Yellow.  I have to say this color look super awesome on a CLA45.

Spotted a Hyundai Veloster Turbo, the price?  about BND$28000+

Sadly. we do not have FIAT in Brunei just yet.  This particular model is called Fiat 500 and cost only AUD$17000, which is about BND$18000!  What a bargain!

Spotted a ER34 with a mixture of bodykit at UQ

I actually saw this car in some Australian Tourism advert and was hopping to catch a glimps of the ride.   We were on way way home and finally spotted this cool stretch Hummer H2T driving around Surfer Paradise!  Not sure how much it cost to rent this.

This is one of the my favorite pizza place!  The car is the new Toyota Yaris which we do not get in Brunei

My Trip To Brisbane, Australia Pt.2

"I MISS U"

One thing I noticed when holidaying in Brisbane is personalized plate for your ride.  They range from AUD$300 upward to a few grand.  I snapped a few rides that had some cool plates.  Check it out!

"JAS 240"

"ERC 33"... ERIC 33?

"GAO-888", "GAO" most likely is the surname of the owner with "888" which also mean prosperous

Spotted this in GoldCoast, "BBEECH", could be bitch or beach..lol

"RUNOOO"

"KAI MEI" which means stepsister in chinese

"CRA27" = CRAZY

This cool M5 with "LIMPOPO".  I saw a similar clothing store with the same name at GoldCoast

"COCOZY"

"18-YAN" and  "018-OMG"

"54MIR" = SAMIR?

"FDT-04" I think this is one of the affordable personalized plate, probably cost around $300 bucks

If only Brunei allowed personalized plate....

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!
