//r3 drives...
« on: August 29, 2012, 08:15:31 PM »
Hi all. Cars & watches seem to go hand in hand; I love cars and I am starting to develop an interest in timepieces. However, I have a higher level of interest for everything automotive and I thought I'd share some of this with MWF. I am a casual/freelance automotive photojournalist and you can view all my pictures on my

Anyway - will start with an event from earlier this morning:

changing the tire of the heavy car on the hot tarmac must have been energy sapping. hope you guy have some red bull energy drink in the booth. anyway, great pics.

Sorry for the lack of updates; been super busy at work on weekdays. And weekends are usually filled with car related work! Like this Rapide from some weekends back:

Recently had an A4 1.8T to drive. For an entry level Audi, it performed beyond my expectations.

About time you got here, Won.
You might've noticed what we wear on our wrists at the gatherings and drives. Cars and watches do go together. Along with shoes :)

@swleong/meoramri yeah, we have a couple of MP4s here. From memory, I think there are about 4-5 units in Malaysia (possibly more soon).

@j0shua definitely see the connection. I've been gazing at the BJS' wrists for the longest time ever! :laugh:

Anyway; more pics from a shoot some months back. I'm curious what you guys think of the Toyota 86:

Fresh after driving the FF, I get the opportunity to pit the Golf R against the Golf GTI. The GTI has received some minor upgrades and now pushes out ~230PS (210PS stock) whilst the Golf Rs sold in Malaysia come de-tuned with 255PS. Would have been interesting to know which would be quicker, no?
