This boy epic fail wei... failed his driving exam the first time and throw fit at his mum, he refused to hop into mum’s car and opted to walk home in the rain, sulking and crying. Oh Bieber...

He wrote in his book:

“Some girl drove by, putting on mascara as she weaved down the boulevard – but she sure had a driver’s licence, didn’t she? Some dude cruised by in a truck, smoking a cigarette, which he tossed on the street like the world was his ashtray. I bellowed after him, ‘I hate you’! It felt so good. I bellowed at the next guy, ‘I hate you too! And I hate you! And I hate you!’”

Pictures of Emergency Lane Abusers During CNY 2010

caseyliew — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:53:24 +0800

Pathetic isn't it? I am sure we hate these lane abusers, thinking that they are way more important that anyone else, what more, they have the guts to question their wrong doings. On the eve of CNY 2010, i was on my way back to kampung, in Malacca. Traffic was bad, really bad, but some road users decided to hog the road shoulder (aka, left lane, emergency lane).

I took my camera and started snapping away, the result? Click Here

Finally, BMW 3-Series Coupe M-Sport Package

caseyliew — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:45:52 +0800

It's been sometime eh? Since the launch of the latest facelift 3-Series Coupe, BMW has finally released pictures and some information about the M-sport package for the latest facelift variant of the 3-Series coupe. Doesn't look as aggressive as the M3, but good enough to taunt the ricers in town. It looks great in Alpine White yes?

The new 335i will now be powered by a 3.0 liter straight 6 engine with only 1 turbo (twin scroll). BMW has developed this turbo and has said that it will out perform the twin-turbo engine from the previous generation.

Power man!

With the Piquet crash saga going on hard and awaiting for the hearing on the 21st September 2009, Renault announce that Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds have both left the team.

“The ING Renault F1 Team will not dispute the recent allegations made by the FIA concerning the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix,”

Lotus F1 Returning to Formula 1, A Malaysian Brand

caseyliew — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:40:51 +0800

So, BMW Sauber is out and Lotus is in, as a Malaysian Brand.

Well, we know that BMW Sauber is up for sale, we also know that Peter Sauber has been visiting Malaysia the past couple weeks, and Petronas is the main sponsor for the team. How should we sum those 3 facts? Easy, BMW Sauber is now Lotus F1. Fun facts, Lotus is a Malaysian Owned brand.

Lotus F1 Team will be joining the 2010 Formula 1 Championship.

Other updates, FIA reports that a company called “1Malaysia F1 Team” has won the 13th entry for a Norfolk-based and Cosworth-powered team. They will be headed by Tony Fernandes and Techinical Director Mike Gascoyne.

Tony Fernandes is the CEO of AirAsia which currently sponsors Williams F1 Team. The Lotus F1 Team will be based at Sepang.

Now, let’s guess who will be the drivers? A good bet would be Jazeman Jaafar who currently drives in Formula BMW, and Fairuz Fauzy who currently drives for the Malaysian A1 GP Team.

2 teams for us then eh? Lotus F1 and 1MalaysiaF1.

BMW M8, or is that the BMW R8?

caseyliew — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 14:07:28 +0800

When 2 Germans come together to build a car, it becomes perfection! We got here a BMW R8, not the M8! This R8 is spotted in Moscow. I reckon that the owner wants a BMW that drives like an Audi. Perhaps BMW changed their tag line from the Ultimate Driving Machine to Sheer Driving Pleasure for a reason (not all that ultimate anymore?).

The owner placed the BMW badges on the front bonnet and the on the rear alongside with an 850i badge, the engine was also treated with some BMW pleasure.

BMW 3-Series Touring, With M5 Engine

caseyliew — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:36:00 +0800

Not sure if you peeps seen this, but gosh it's glorious!

People often go nutters when it comes to power, power is never enough, especially for guys with bigger “Sack”. BMW fused the M3 with a V8, and it goes like a rocket! But a bunch of boffins decided to mate the BMW 3-series Touring (E91) with a V10 engine, not any V10, it’s the V10 from the BMW M5 (E60).

The M5 V10 produces 507bhp, and it’s plentiful if one wants to burn some tires or perhaps buzz up the neighborhood.

The boffins not only implanted the V10 onto the 3-series, they also merged it with the M5 7-gear SMG gearbox, BMW performance seats, BMW performance steering wheel, StopTech BBK (brakes), 20″in RAD forged wheel, Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, roof rail delete, M3 Hood, wider fenders and M3 visuals.
