But the highlight of the whole trip must have been the car ride. The Don could not test his machine on our way up as the roads were quite bumpy and the low profile of the car made it hard to swerve and avoid the pitholes but on the way to Temerloh from Kuantan we tried the new Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (West Coast Highway) and the new n smooth surface became our circuit. The Don clocked 200Km/hr effortlessly. I hardly even felt it save for the whirring noise of the engine. It was only when I glanced at the speedometer, saw the needle almost touching the 200 mark when I tapped The Don on his thigh and reminded him we had three kids at the back seat. (my cousins) And u noe what the kids were doing ? They were sleeping at 200km/hr!!! That was how stable the car was. No tremors whatsoever. The kids were tired out after standing almost half the journey with their heads sticking out the sun roof and waving to my uncle in the Toyota Avanza behind us. Needless to say, we reached our destination a good 20 mins before the Avanza arrived.
Looks like getting a sports car will be next on The Don's agenda.
