My letter to Top Gear Magazine

So I was bored after writing in my last post here. I was reading Top Gear Malaysia Magazine and saw there it said I could win a COOL SET OF PUMA SUNGLASSES COST RM635 if I win the letter of the month and since im at the moment looking for a pair of sunglasses. So i wrote in!

Here's my letter to Donald Chead, editor of Top Gear Mag Malaysia.

Dear DC,

I didn't plan to start my letter that way because that was how everyone started their letter in previous issues aswell but nevertheless, I did. Top Gear Malaysia has been a huge success. I have not missed a single issue since it first came out cept for those that went missing when I moved around. haha. It's great to have this mag out in the market. However, you guys could use with some updates on your websites yeah? I went by the website to see whats new but it was showing the issue with the LP670-4 SV and the 599 XX which was 2-3 months ago I think? It'l be nice to have a website like the UK mag where its also constantly updating on ongoing things and new cars and some Clarkson,Hammond and May news. =)

So i'd like to talk about Supercars in malaysia. If you go to my facebook, I have a huge collection of all these rare cars in Kuala Lumpur. Ranging from M6's to the new Ferrari California and Gallardo and Murcielago LP640's and Audi R8. Im happy to see all these kind of cars out on the road. They are of course mostly hanging out round the city centre such as the Pavillion area. Recently, my friend got a few pictures aswell of the New Lambo LP670-4 SV in KL. Not one but two. Knowing that these cars are around in KL makes me feel very special. At least I know I don't always have to go to Europe to see some rare cars. We do have the Top 3 hypercars, the Ferrari Enzo, McLaren Mercedes SLR and the Porsche Carrera GT in Malaysia. I have managed to see all and do have pictures of the Enzo and the SLR but not the Carrera GT.

I have a question to ask you? Why did the manager at the Porsche showroom not let me take a picture of the Carrera GT? It boggles my mind because it's such a piece of engineering brilliance and beauty and I just would like to show to those who have not seen yet that these kind of cars exist in our country. DC, do you have any idea why? Are they trying to hide people from knowing that this car is in the country? or are they terrified of people knowing the car exist that someone might come around and steal it? I mean their showrooms are well guarded. sighh. TGM should do a special issue on Supercars in Malaysia. And we can have you powersliding around or something in a 6.6million ringgit McMerc SLR. haha. I even wonder if you're allowed to do that? Like as someone from a car magazine, do these 'people' tell you off that you can't road test this car. Im pretty sure they would allow I suppose? Freedom of Media much? I would like to see you(DC) to test some fast cars around here in Malaysia. Since we have them here, why go to other countries to test drive it. =D

I also can't help to notice that your email is "@astro.com.my". Is this mag associated with Astro? If so, then why don't we get Top Gear show in Malaysia! haha. I've been working hard to get all the episodes of Top Gear and I do have them but it would just be very nice maybe if Astro could show BBC2 and it'l make us all happy, us car enthusiasts. We get to see them 3 blokes having a good time on their show. Top Gear is my favourite everything. And i know at least another 100 people out there with the same thinking as me. So why isn't it showing here? I know NTV7 shows them on Sundays (if im not mistaken) but its so back dated. It's going to be Season 14 in November and they're still showing Season 10 if im not mistaken with the Brit Car 24Hours that they did and all that.

So again DC, great success on the mag. I am of all ways supporting Top Gear Malaysia with many of my friends doing the same. Looking forward to you roadtesting a hypercar here in KL. =)
