COTY2U AUTOSHOW 2011 | 12 & 13 November 2011

It has been a while that I have attended an Autoshow event and today I got to attend one with a complimentary ticket from a friend but you get to enter free if you have a Maybank ATM card or an American Express Card.

It is my first time to Matrade Exhibition and Convention Centre @ Jalan Duta but to my surprise it is just another building surrounded by other government building and nothing fancy about it ;P 

There are bikes, new cars, electric car, test drive, talks but the most interesting parts of the events was the classic car which you can view a number of rare vintage cars and all of them are parked outside the building under the hot and sunny weather (it was a very good way to get a sun tan and I am burned!).

Here are some of the pictures I took from the event.

Adrenalin Rush with a Ferrari @ Maranello, Italy

It has been a while since i publish a new post, my sincere apology to everyone. I have been busy with my agricultural research in Cameron Highland and i was away in Europe for a month backpacking visiting 9 countries, 21 cities.

Here i am uploading a video of me trying out a Ferrari F430 Spider in Maranello the home ground for Ferrari. My journey brought me to Modena, italy and rented a car to go around in Modena to visit Lamborghini and Ferrari Museum plus their factory and here i found a number of vendors offering driving experience of their famous supercars.

You will hardly miss them as they are surrounding the Ferrari Museum and have people around in the car park to paster you for a drive with them and some do give you a bargain price. I paid 50 Euro for driving a F430 Spider and additional 10 Euro for a video recording (a lousy one) with one vendor but after the drive, the other vendor actually offered 50 Euro plus video... darn!

If you like to try out the Lamborghini, head down to Lamborghini Headquarter Via Modena, and it is hidden in a small village called  Sant'Agata  Bolognese. You need to pre-book for a factory visit to enable you to visit the factory with a guided tour and the fees is 40 Euro including the museum visit and opposite the Headquarter, there is this small cafe called Bull Bar which you can do your breakfast or lunch and they offer a range of Gallardo for you feel the rush of adrenalin piloting the 570 horses supercars.

The original video is 15 minutes long and i have fast forward certain part of the video to bring the length down to 5 minutes.
