No problem lah...just some minor issues with the hoses. My workshop know what they are doing...everything back in tip-top condition. Temp is running high due to too much modding and whacking...now I need to learn how to due with the heat.

Dear all,
After recovering from two hangovers and two dinners (with one more to go), I logged on to find the thread expanded immensely. Its okay guys, relax yah? I and the lao po were quite happy that there were cars that came. A big thank you to those who took the time to come down, I am very touched.
INXS / SNIX / Malcolm, the lao po and I thank you for being an excellent safety car. I dont think I've seen any car control the rear as well as you. You have pierced my heart =p I dont think I can make fun of an RX-8 with a big racing stripe for a while. Maybe until next week.
To the hungry drivers who made it, we are sorry we couldnt find the food! To this day we do not know where it is and in whose car it is breeding cockroaches. Please approach me next meet and I treat you to mACS ice cream!
To those who couldnt make it, we wish you were there. I know you had you own reasons and I dont begrudge you. Many people who could not turn up had called me before the day and also that morning. I appreciated that you told me. I was quite harassed on the day itself though - we had a very tight schedule and I was also tortured!
My videographer was very sad as he had three chase pickups/lorries ready to cover all the action. He was quite excited and I was a bit pai seh. At least the photographer got to shoot car shots to his delight. In all honesty, I thought no cars came at all. At 120pm when I was drinking vinegar, eating bittergourd and other disgusting stuff, I was peeping over the ledge looking for cars. Didnt see any for 10-15 mins so I was mentally prepared for no convoy and me and my brothers just go and drive off.
(En En, sorry I didnt call you back to tell you where exactly to go, I was drinking vinegar at that exact moment and energies were focused on breaching the door. Hope you made it. We were very much on the clock and we moved out on schedule whether anyone was there or not).
But imagine my surprise when my "brothers" went up to drive the car down for me and my bride and told me there were 8s upstairs. So I thank god for little miracles (and slightly rounder ones like INXS) and we had a tight and pretty organised convoy. Hope you guys didnt mind the slow speeds (the teddy bears can only take up to 65kmh without flying off - and when i went pedal to the metal today they folded down at 100kmh and dint dare to get up again).
To cut it short, it was a beautiful sunny day (no dark clouds) made even more beautiful by a formation squadron of 8s. Stay tuned for the pictures and videos. I hope you like them cos effort was truly made.
We are all 8 drivers and we are united by our love for this car. No point quibbling lah. Eat MacDonalds, get fat, be happy.
Thank you for a lovely day!
David & Eileen

Sorry that i was not groomed nor dressed for your occasion cos i had like 2hrs of sleep following the plunge of CND which made my life hell and ***** squeezed tightly by my clients.
The convoy was maintained in an acceptable manner all thanks to everyone in the group for being pre-emptive and their personal convoy schema .. not my credit. The 2-3 pm traffic was rather tight but I suppose the crew had a good shot on the stretch towards Eng Neo, as from there on, i didnt had to do much but to focus on the sweet young thing in the C180 from your side(Pls pm me her contact no.)
For the benefit of those who were not present, both the cute little teeny weeny bears had a puff of Marlboro Lights, instant addiction. Maybe if you were to light another for them both, they might Stand up (just a suggestion)
Anyways, David, from all of us, especially the PPSC "faction", we would like to wish you and ladybug a blissful marriage and success in your future endeavours..
NB: So whos coming for my wedding convoy?
