Any nice places to eat near KLCC?

Will probably stay at Sunway Putra.

 

As for parking I should:

 

Park head in

Use a steering wheel lock

Park at a bright lit area

 

Anything else?

 

Thanks

My frds in KL told me that recently most of the car theft syndicates in KL have been busted.

So at the moment, not much car thefts reported.But Sgp cars need to be more careful though.

Usual safety precautions applies

The road from KL to Kuantan is a nice little exercise for your car, filled with slopes, curves and areas for your car to speed up.

Long straight stretches too, but be careful of going too fast downhill!

Don't burn your brakes and employ the engine brake.

 

As for the Kuantan coastal road down, it's an amazing road if you are up to it.

It's a dual carriageway, so it's unlike the NSH, where you have two lanes on each side. Careful planning is needed to overtake, and also to set up the car for the curves and bends.

 

But you will get to use all the ratios of your car, rev it up and certainly clear some carbon...

 

At the end, also be happy with the kind of highway FC that one cannot achieve driving around town all week long:

I won't be going for a while and I will probably rely on waze or something later on.

The GPS is ok but I prefer something that looks more integrated into my car

Turbocharged

A power bank that could jump start car battery is useful....Print a copy of your car insurance and road tax disc....check with your car agent if they have workshop tie up for Msia roadside assist...if not some people sign up AAS for peace of mind for breakdown assist

Erm.. the road tax info is from One motoring right?

Not the same old road tax disc design?
