Show Car Competition

As mentioned in my previous post, my fellow Celica owner redid his interior just before the chinese new years. What he did was painted all interior plastics to black like my facelift Celica, wrapped his seats and redid a few parts of his interior. So it looks a little like my panda themed interior with major improvement. The company that did his car entered him in a Show Car Competition.

So as fellow owner and club member, I went down to support him and take a look of the event along with the others. There I saw many cars on display for their outrageous exterior and pimped out interior. There were even cars performing a fire show. It was my first time seeing a fire show and I was worried for their cars. We were given VIP treatment when the owner of the company invited us to the club located above the location of the event.

We had free flow of drinks and had some live show. Overall, it was a different experience for me. A fun night out.

Sibling Surprise

Taking a break from my Celica story, I move your attention to my brother's car which is my previous Toyota Vios. As mentioned on this blog a couple of time, my brother is not the best driver and tend to get into a few mishaps ever since I handed the car to him. While I was in UK, the latest shenanigan has reached me. He got into one of his mishaps and the left side skirt became his latest victim. Paint was scrapped and the car looked more horrible than it already was.


When I came back and saw what he have done to the car, I told him that he managed to bring harm to the front bumper, side skirts and rims. The only part that was safe from him was the rear bumper until just 4 days ago when he told me he was in another accident. According to him, an aunty bumped into him in a traffic jam and ran away. He showed me a photo of a little crack and I thought it was a small case. However, when I inspect it, the middle part was cracked and on the driver side the bumper came off.

Now the car has became a freak show that I would be embarrassed to drive. Why ? My father was never keen on me using fiberglass bodykit because of the rigidity and fragility of it but it look good. So, similar to the time when he smashed the front bumper, my dad replaced my fiberglass bumper with the original bumper. Hence the freakish height of body parts. What puzzled me was why didn't he remove the side skirts since it was damaged too.

Uneven car ride
I can't look at the car that I used to drive that I put my effort into making it unique and awesome. All the best to him and I hope the Vios won't be a heap of junk when it is handed to my sister next year. I also hope he don't trash whatever his next car would be. God bless him.
