Extras for the new ride...

Wed 130411

Yup, our new ride, the PS FL 1.3E Auto, got some simple extras added to make it more personal to these 2 ole inmates of Lot 10 OFH...kinda like its own identity...to set it apart from other PS FLs around...hehe...

For one, an "ABS+" Emblem was bought from AS Mall for RM7.90 only, followed by a unique "Static Antenna" for RM12.90. Yup, we would be able to identify & seek out our ride with these two items staring at us should they be in our field of vision!There you are...pics of the ABS Emblem on the left of its "butt" and of course, the special "tail" we'll be looking out for should we be searching for our ride in those sometimes crowded basement parking areas of Malls!


And the next pic shows a personal choice by my other half...yup, a pair of headrest covers for the front seats! To match the seat covers kindly "donated" by our daughter, EL, when she & fmly were here.

Well, what's left to be done to the new ride? Plenty really! But that would be more of "Wants" than "Needs", right? True...true...

We have as yet to decide if we should go for engravings of the car registration number on all the windows as was previously the practice. However, it is presently felt that such a measure would not necessarily deter car thieves. Agreed?

Moreover, the main windscreen & rear screen had been engraved (in the assembly plant) with the car chassis numbers which appears to be the current practice by Proton now. A better idea? Really dunno...

The other planned addition is a special sticker for the fuel tank filler cover. In that we have failed so far to find a suitable one. The "paint splatter" that was on our old ride could not be found at all...probably out-of-date now? No rush, right?

That's boring enough, right? Me just rambling about nothing else but our new ride! Haha! What do you expect from someone who just had a new car after 19+ years? Forgive this ole man, ok?

Thank you...

Introducing my really NEW "Ride"...

Tues 120411

Yup, it's time to introduce our really brand NEW "RIDE"!!

And yup, me am truly a Proton fan... :) Frankly? Yup, it's the most affordable value-for-money car (to me, anyway) to these 2 ole inmates of Lot 10 OFH...

So our ole junk, which had served us so well, namely ze ole Proton Saga 1.5I Auto of 19+ years ie KAC4396, is, hopefully, in someone else's good hands & tender care...

And now....Introducing our new Proton Saga FL 1.3 Executive Automatic !! In PURE WHITE, too! First pic shows the new car soon after delivery in Penang @our fav niece's home, followed by a pic of the ride with the "No Fear" sticker attached that me bought @AS Mall for only RM4.90! A DIY job! Not bad, eh?

And now...just look at its "butt"...beautiful, isn't it? Especially after the additions? I know...minor tidbits but still made a difference, right? On the rear spoiler...on the left (AAM reflective sticker) and around the number plate.

And finally...me also managed to improve & enhance the Ride by adding an original Ultra Racing Front Strut Bar. Cost? RM120 w/o installation. Why? A long story...me will not bore you more than as is...hehe.... ;)

A pic (below) of the bar installed in the engine compartment. Real good fit! Yup, it feels real good & on top of the world ever since the new Ride materialised...truly a dream came true!! Thanks a meg to all who gave all encouragement! And especially so to our fav niece & her other half w/o whom all this would never have happened!!

Most sincere & heartfelt thanks to one & all!! Me & my other half will forever treasure your love, support & encouragement in so many ways AND God knows lots more...for the rest of our lives! TQ...TQ...TQ!

Not to forget, however, thanks also go to our daughter, EL, who had visited Lot 10 inmates during the weekend and also so graciously got a couple of nice gifts to enhance our new ride!

Yup, our PS FL Exec is now more safe & secure with a new Solex Brake Pedal Lock and more comfortable with a pair of Tesco Bear car front seat covers!

Yup, a truly turning point in the lives of these two Lot 10 OFH inmates...we are so blessed! We thank God for what we have received to this day! Amen.
