I really enjoyed the drive up to Malacca on the NS highway. This is my first drive-up to Malaysia. .

 

Very very satisfied with the performance of my punto 1.24L. great chance to push the car as it is suppose to be.

 

As a first time car owner, what other better way than to drive up with 23 other Fiats in convoy.

Hi everyone , we just came back from a driving trip to malacca organise by the local FIAT dealer - TTS Eurocars.

 

The convoy left spore on saturday(11mar06) morning at around 0800hrs and arrive into malacca at around middays.

 

We have stilos , croma , punto and panda on the convoy's ....in all a total of 24cars .

 

It was a enjoyable trips for all who have participated and as most owners are new to italian car , a really eye-opener for what the italian mistress can do on a long stretch of road.

 

I'm driving a 1242cc punto and together with bro fiat124sport , we were doing a constant 140~166km/h after we left malacca on the way back for 3~4hours.

We are not racing but was pushing the car to it's limit.....which I must say ,was enlightening and still only able to exploit maybe 70% of it only....

 

We are certainly looking forward for their next trip which I understand , will be in june to kuantan and to penang in december.

 

Max Limit Max Limit.!!!!!

Sounds cool....

 

We recently jus had a convoy up to KL, bukit tingi too.. wif vans at top speed of 170km/hr

 

WOW...

[Normal_aspirated]

speed of a Stilo MS of 220kmph is no problem.......smooth as silk.

I think so.... Anyway your convoy a bit scattered leh.... I was speeding(150kph) thru and i saw groups here and there.....

ya-lor , a alot of first timer driving on NS highway.Imagine on some stretch , we are doing doing only sub 100km/h machiam on ECP liddat.

In the end , since it's a straight road back all the way , we decide to breakaway

[Contax]

220km/h a bit conservative liao.....the CEO stilo overtook us in a 'flash' while we're doing 160km/h + , and just in a few second , become a little red dot in front liao
