driving a Mazda 6 on a freeway!

the loooks of the car? good! the power of the car? wonderful! the feeling of driving it? GREAT! don't think i'll ever own 1 but it's good enough to have ever experienced dfriving in 1 :) was able to drive it while i was in Christchurch, NZ. the power comes as soon as you toe tipped on the accelerator. touching 110km/h wasn't an issue..wait, 110km/h was M'sia's highway speed limit..and the prob is...100km/h was NZ's!!! sigh!!

with the car and it's ability...only for 100km/h?! sigh!!! according to a fren, don't play the fool in NZ..policemen are quite active on the road..unlike what me and my fellow countrymen are use to. but looking at the potential of the car and the long straight road in front of me, i really can't forgive myself if i limit myself to 100km/h..dang!!! heck it! haven't even floored it and i see 140km/h already :) nice!! well, wasn't all the way though but it was great to release it once in a while..phew! good thing no police patroling then...

UNFORTUNATELY for my fren who drove us back after our trip..he was cruising at 120km/h and we met an oncoming frenly 'blue & red light' :) it U-turned and followed us..well, the rest is history...nope, my frens..no 'business' talk there...we had to trade NZD 80 for that piece of paper and here is how it looks like


oh well, after dividing by 5..it wasn't too bad la :) and ya, since i'm at this might as well continue on with another of our exciting adventure while on our trip..btw, we were on our way to the place where they filmed LOTR ;) and here's he beautiful view


we didn't have a tour guide, obviously, and so we can only suspect that this river that you see in the pic..is the 'dark, dark' place where 'that little creature' brought frodo and samwise passby..you rem that part? anyway...it was generally a very nice view with the snowcaps and all...



oh ya, the thing that i can sort of boast of, nothing proud of it, but hey, how many of you ever changed a tyre, let alone change in 'Middle Earth'?! ;) well, i did! haha...then we decided to take lots of photo there also la..



hhmm..that's bout it for this post la..and 1 last photo for you..me and Mazda 6 :) enjoy!
