This one is just too much for me and I'm not talking about the price. It's a supercar through and through, something we can only dream about. For the review of the car and how it drives, go here.

MONSTER ORANGE R35 by Alvin

This is for you fans of Godzilla or better known as the Nissan Skyline. This one though is the latest R35 version but in Lambo Orange. It was spotted at the Naza Automall showroom in PJ. The paint job was superb though you could see at the joints of the roof the paint is an aftermarket work but a damn good one at that.


At first we thought it was painted after it was bought because we've never seen or heard of the R35 having this color and the exhaust was an aftermarket titanium twin pipe. But a video on Youtube showed another one in Japan with the same color but with a different front bumper. A search online showed that there is a company offering the GTR in orange with souped up specs, the company is called Zele. The Naza GTR was different from the Zele GTR but a check on the Zele website reveals that they are an independent Nissan Skyline specialized dealer in Japan and produce performance parts for the car.

WELCOME

Hey everybody and welcome to our latest blog. As you can probably see by now, this blog is about cars. Yes, we love cars in most shape, form and specs.

This blog is managed by 2 guys who are nuts about cars. Alvin and Simon who both are just your average Joes trying to make a living in KL while having dreams of owning cars like the BMW M3 or Lamborghini Gallardo, will post here their dealings with their most beloved topic - cars.

The views posted here will be on the layman's terms - simple, uncomplicated, honest and easy to understand. It is based on a petrolhead or kakimotor's views of the world of cars and motorsports. These includes car reviews, first impressions, test drives, opinions and actual hands-on car mods (when and if we get the chance).

We invite all to visit and use our blog and to leave comments but please make sure to be constructive instead of destructive. And no profanities please.

Thank you and enjoy.

Alvin.
