A whole day about RM 50, so how much they can charge in hourly rate? Sorry for late info but maybe useful to you next trip. :D
Sure interested to join if got organise such a trip.
Aiyo.. your information was abit lambat, I was in Ipoh and now back in KL already, not sure when my next trip there will be. But surely will let you know.
So far, I've got this weird problems where after my car goes up to 150km/h and above, whenever I slow down for a slow car, it'll take me a considerable amount of time to pick up a good speed again.
Either it's my way of driving (with my family in the car) or the Beta engine memang got problems with pick-up? Like I said before, I only drive the car for family trips as i got other cars for work and play.
The Scenario:
On the way to Ipoh, was driving at 160km/h .... came to a slow moving vehicle (100km/h), I've to slow down and flash, the guy pulled aside, I start to bring the speed up to 160km/h again, instead of it moving up smoothly and fast, You can see the meter moving very slowly up the scale. It's fustrating cause, if there is a faster car and not many space at the slow lane, it means I've to slow down considerably to allow the car to pass before I start picking up my speed again. Sigh...
It take me on a good day to reach Ipoh in 1hour 15min +/- .... but that last trip, it took me 2 hours as instead of going at 2am, I took the journey at 8pm and reach my destination around 10nish.
