HI readers, I am looking for Steel 15" rims PCD114.3, 5 holes. Preferably with 195/60R15 tyres (up to RM300 extra depending on tyres condition). Willing to pay up to RM200 for the rim itself + plastic caps if possible (depending on Condition of the rims). (UP to RM180 W/o the plastic caps).
TOTAL with rims & 195/60R15 tyres. RM300+180to 200 = RM480-500.
This is REASONABLE offer, I would say Slightly better than TAYAR SHOP trade in based on my survey in various tayar shop.
Lists of example Rims I'm looking for (not in particular order):
1) Kia Forte 1.6EX Steel rims + Cover (PCD114.3, 5 holes) - WILL Buy with tayar)
2) Proton EXORA 1.6 Steel rims + cover (PCD114.3, 5 holes) - W/o tayar
3) Toyota Estima Steel rims + Cover (15" PCD114.3, 5 holes) - W/o tayar
4) Ford Steel Rims + Cover. (eg. Telstar, Lynx). Most Logical as I'm driving a Ford Telstar. - With tayar.
5) Mitsubishi JDM 15" Steel Rims (5 holes, PCD114.3) w/o tayar...
Will pay slightly higher if it's 1) and 2) coz these rims are taken from a NEW car.
Do you get the idea what I'm looking for now based on the above examples?
Thanks in Advance...

Funniest Quotes by Jeremy Clarkson...
Funniest quotes by Jeremy Clarkson
Posted Apr 16 2010, 03:49 PM by dekeman613
Jeremy Clarkson may not be quite as loveable as Richard Hammond on our favourite TV show, Top Gear, but he is unquestionably a master of the metaphor.
The website Ridelust put together these truly hilarious quotes.
1. “I’d like to consider Ferrari as a scaled down version of God.”
2. [On the Porsche Boxster] “It couldn’t pull a greased stick out of a pig’s bottom.”
3. [When driving the Mercedes SLR McLaren through a tunnel] “When they debate as to what the sound of the SLR engine was akin to, the British engineers from McLaren said it sounded like a Spitfire. But the German engineers from Mercedes said ‘Nein! Nein! Sounds like a Messerschmitt!’ They were both wrong. It sounds like the God of Thunder, gargling with nails.”
4. “I’m sorry, but having an Aston Martin DB9 on the drive and not driving it is a bit like having Keira Knightley in your bed and sleeping on the couch. If you’ve got even half a scrotum it’s not going to happen.”
5. “Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary… that’s what gets you.”
6. “Koenigsegg are saying that the CCX is more comfortable. More comfortable than what… being stabbed?”
7. [On Detroit] “God may have created the world in six days, but while he was resting on the seventh, Beelzebub popped up and did this place.”
8. “Owning a TVR in the past was like owning a bear. I mean it was great, until it pulled your head off, which it would.”
9. [On the Renault Clio V6] “I think the problem is that it’s French. It’s a surrendermonkey.”
10. [On the Enzo Ferrari] “I rang up Jay Kay, who’s got one, and said: “Can we borrow yours?” and he said, “Yeah, if I can borrow your daughter, because it amounts to the same thing.”
11. [On the Porsche Cayenne] “I’ve seen gangrenous wounds better looking than this!”
12. “The air conditioning in Lamborghinis used to be an asthmatic sitting in the dashboard blowing at you through a straw.”
13. “Whenever I’m suffering from insomnia, I just look at a picture of a Toyota Camry and I’m straight off.”
14. “If you were to buy a [BMW] 6-series, I recommend you select reverse when leaving friends’ houses so they don’t see its backside.”
15. “That [Pagani] Zonda, really! It’s like a lion in orange dungarees. Kind of fierce, but ridiculous all at the same time.”
16. [On a Chevrolet Corvette] “The Americans lecture the world on democracy and then won’t let me turn the traction control off!”
17. [On the Alfa Romeo Brera] “Think of it as Angelina Jolie. You’ve heard she’s mad and eats nothing but wallpaper paste. But you would, wouldn’t
you?”
18. “A turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.”
19. “This is a Renault Espace, probably the best of the people carriers. Not that that’s much to shout about. That’s like saying ‘Oh good, I’ve got syphilis, the best of the sexually transmitted diseases!’”
20. “In the olden days I always got the impression that TVR built a car, put it on sale, and then found out how it handled – usually when one of their customers wrote to the factory complaining about how dead he was.”
21. [On the Mercedes CLS55 AMG] “It sounds like Barry White eating wasps.”
22. “I’d rather go to work on my hands and knees than drive there in a Ford Galaxy. Whoever designed the Ford Galaxy upholstery had a cauliflower fixation. I would rather have a vasectomy than buy a Ford Galaxy.”
23. “Usually, a Range Rover would be beaten away from the lights by a diesel powered wheelbarrow.”
24. “Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It’s like making a hardcore adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You’d just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke’s sweaty face.”
25. “I don’t understand bus lanes. Why do poor people have to get to places quicker than I do?”
26. On driving a Lancia Stratos kit car: “The steering wheel is perilously close to where my testes used to be before the seat belt jammed them up into my lungs.”
27. On the build quality of the Lancia Beta: “It was made of steel so thin that on a windy day it would actually change shape.”
28. On the styling of the Lancia Fulvia: “It really is as pretty as the sun setting over Charlize Theron.”
28. On women driving the Renault Scenic, a boxy four door hatchback: “It is the oddest thing, but I’ve never seen anyone driving a Scenic with whom I would like to mate. Once I saw a pretty girl in a Prius, and occasionally you see someone ageing well in a Peugeot. But Scenics are always driven by gargoyles.”
29. On women who drive fast cars: “There is nothing to warm the cockles of my tumescence more than the sight of a girl in a serious car. Emma Parker-Bowles, for instance, has a Mitsubishi Evo VIII and the thought of that, honestly, keeps me awake at night.Just yesterday I saw a middle-aged housewife in rural clothes screaming down the M40 in a Lotus Elise. I nearly grew a third leg.”
30. On his wife’s ability to multitask: “My wife can cook supper, pacify a baby and make complicated tennis arrangements with friends on the phone all at the same time. And not once has she ever put the receiver down to find she’s inadvertently cooked the baby and rocked the sausages to sleep.”
31. On the Porsche 911 GT3: “In essence, it’s a stripped out, ready-to-race version of the Carrera 2. So you get a roll cage instead of back seats and a massive fuel tank instead of a boot. You also get tyres that are nigh on slick, a spoiler big enough to serve as a landing strip for small aircraft and a ride quality with all the give and compliance of a Chechen terrorist.”
32. On the Renault Twingo Sport’s harsh ride: “On some bumps, the jolt is so bad that your lungs can come off.”
33. On the new M5: “There is only one feature in the M5’s electronic armoury that’s good; it’s a little button marked with an M on the steering wheel. Quite what M might stand for, I have no idea. Motorsport? Mohawk? Mombasa? I like to think it might be M*********** because that’s the effect it has.”
34. On the motor in the BMW X5, M version: “The results (of the M spec motor) are as dramatic as putting a furious weasel in your underpants. This car would be less annoying to ecomentalists if it ran on sliced dolphin.”
35. On Audi’s Q7, equipped with the V12 TDI motor: “The whole point of buying a diesel car is to save money. Having a V12 turbo diesel is like turning your central heating off at home and then keeping warm by burning Rembrandts.”
36. On Audi’s versus Trabants: “It wasn’t so bad when everyone had a Trabant, but in a unified Germany they were sharing the roads with Audis, and it was a mix as devastating as Baileys and lime juice. You may remember that in ‘95 an entire East German family in their Trabant was killed when it hit an A8. And the Audi driver? He went home with a broken radiator grille.”
37. On driving the Bentley Brooklands on local roads: “It gave me some sense of what it would be like to park the moon.”
38. On cars with acoustically tuned exhausts: “The noise they make is as fake as a hooker’s smile.”
39. On the Corvette Z06 as a daily driver: “At low revs, the engine sounds like it’s fueled with spanners… as something to live with every day, I’d rather have bird flu.”
THE END...

AMAZING RACE 16: Congratulations Dan and Jordan Pious!
ARTICLE 1: Did Haters Ruin The Amazing Race 16 Finale?
Photo Source: Monty Brinton/CBS
One team, however, stood aside…and sneered.
Yep, Team Sour Grapes Carol Rosenfeld and Brandy Snow are still harboring that grudge against "dumb" beauty queen Caite Upton for the U-turn that ultimately resulted in their elimination in episode nine.
Did the Catfight at the Candlestick Corral spoil the victory celebration?
Photo Source: Monty Brinton/CBS Thanks to Caite, no.
By shouting "I love you all!" to the crowd, the third-place finisher (with partner Brent Horne) defused the hostilities and allowed Dan and Jordan Pious to celebrate their win—while everyone else celebrated runner-up cowboys Jet and Cord McCoy for being awesome.
The Oklahoma horsemen, possibly the most beloved team in Amazing Race history, accepted their loss as graciously as they played the game. "He's a good man," said Cord about big brother Jet. "He's my best friend." And loyal, too—we shed tears last week when Cord recounted Jet never leaving his side when he was hospitalized after a serious rodeo accident.
Dan and Jordan are likable enough champions—except for their sneaky line jumping that might have cost the cowboys the race—but Dan made it hard for us to rejoice by once again trumpeting his contribution and self-sacrifice: "I made my little brother's dream come true," he bragged for the gazillionth time. "It's so great knowing that I could help [Jordan] make his No. 1 dream come true."
Dan's self-proclaimed superpowers aside, all three teams were strong competitors going into the final leg of the race. The Pious brothers got an early edge by talking their way into first class and thus deboarding the plane in San Francisco. Their luck continued with a competent taxi driver, while Caite and Brent hired possibly the worst cabbie in the Bay Area. His lack of fluency in English (oh, the irony for the world travelers) and geographical ignorance, who stopped the car to consult a city guide kiosk) unquestionably knocked them out of the race.
And the cowboys, despite Cort's hilarious fake commands ("Ballet move! Sashay!") in the virtual reality challenge, were ultimately no match for Dan's mighty shoulders that carried his little brother to victory.
Regardless of the final outcome, all three teams deserved to feel like winners. Too bad sore losers Carol and Brandy couldn't share their happiness from the sidelines.

COUNTERPOINT: (Article 2, From Vancouver, Canada)
Brothers win over fan favourites on Amazing Race

Dan and Jordan Pious didn't just compete in the Amazing Race, they won.

Sometimes, karma wins out over dogma. At the outset of The Amazing Race's mad 23-day dash around the world, Dan Pious, a 24-year-old financial analyst from Barrington, R.I., told anyone who'd listen that he didn't like to travel.
He rarely, if ever, travelled outside the U.S. But he would agree to compete in The Amazing Race so that his younger brother, 22-year-old Jordan Pious, could realize his dream to be on The Amazing Race and see the world.
As it happened, Dan and Jordan Pious didn't just compete in the Race, they won. In Sunday's broadcast, seen by an estimated 11 million viewers in the U.S. and another two million in Canada, the brothers edged fan favourites Jet McCoy and Cord McCoy, professional rodeo riders from rural Oklahoma, to win The Amazing Race's prize of $1 million US and bragging rights as champions of The Amazing Race's 14th race around the world.
Former Miss Teen USA contestant Caite Upton and her boyfriend, Columbia, S.C., model and part-time actor Brent Horne, finished third.
"This has been the most incredible experience, and there was no way I could ever have been here without my brother," Jordan Pious said at the finish line, at San Francisco's Candlestick Park.
"This is my biggest dream come true, and he is the reason," Pious added, nodding toward his brother.
"I'm thrilled I did the race," the previously reluctant Dan Pious said. "It turned out to be an incredible experience. I made my little brother's dream come true. We did the race. We made the final three. And we won. This is crazy, man."
The teams raced from Shanghai, China to the U.S. West Coast in the final race leg. To win, Dan and Jordan Pious had to complete a number of physical and mental challenges, including climbing San Francisco's historic Coit Tower using rappel lines; completing a virtual-reality obstacle course at Star Wars filmmaker George Lucas's special-effects house, Industrial Light and Magic; lugging a heavy steamer trunk to San Francisco's American Music Hall - on foot - and then arranging psychedelic posters of the other Amazing Race teams in the order in which they were eliminated.
Jet and Cord McCoy were philosophical in defeat, in keeping with their reputation as fan favourites.
"There are things that are more important than money," Jet McCoy said. "The experience of being able to travel all the way around the world with my best friend and my brother, and in the end having our character and integrity intact, means we can walk out of here with our heads held high and look people straight in the face."
The Amazing Race, one of the most-watched weekly TV programs in Canada, has been renewed for a 15th season. CBS announces its fall schedule later this month, and The Amazing Race is expected to return in September, with another race scheduled for midseason.
Ironically, The Amazing Race - winner of seven consecutive Emmys for outstanding reality competition program - was itself nearly derailed by nervous studio executives in 2002, following the 9/11 terror attacks. It was granted a last-minute reprieve, and has steadily grown in the ratings since then.

We’re at the Malaysian press launch of the all new BMW 5-Series F10 at KLCC this morning. From what I understand the public parties will begin tonight. The event has yet to start but BMW Malaysia has sourced some nice examples of previous generation 5-ers to showcase at the event floor. You will find a small gallery of them after the jump – my favorite is the awesome white manual transmission E34 BMW M5!
Enjoy and watch out for our full launch story later this afternoon.

LONGTERMER #2, Volume 16; Month 22: Honda Civic FD2 2.0IVTEC
LONGTERMER #2, Volume 16; Month 22: Honda Civic FD2 2.0IVTEC
In this blog entry, I'll be covering my ride. The Honda Civic FD2. This is 16th update of Longtermer #2, this month's the 22th month we (my family) owned the Civic 2.0iVTEC FD2.
What's happened in the month between March to End April. Let's see...
I have been enjoying driving the car around. In fact, WE (me and my dad) used this car more often now compared to the Ford Telstar.
Over the last 7 days, as usual my dad drove this Civic FD2 HARD. To Genting Highlands (1 round), KLIA 2 rounds, Cyberjaya few rounds.
Again, the way he drove to Genting and back. Well, he utilised Engine braking most of the time when downhill and played with the Paddle shift (S mode) with Air-cond off (windows down) when going uphill.
My dad sent the car for suspension tuning, camber and Alignment by a Tyre shop. Also rotated the wheels.
The Civic's Due did its 30,000km service on 3 March 2010. They just did regular engine oil change, oil filter, On the same date, I received a Letter from Honda Malaysia informing me of RECALL (Product update) on the apparent Defective FUSE BOX. On 22 March, I went ahead and sent the car for the recall exercise. Besides replacing the fuse box, they also replaced the Battery (under warranty).
Also, This Civic is one of the Escort car for my friend's wedding on 1 May 2010. The driver (me) is one of the Heng Taai (Xiong Di) mah! Sadly, no picture...
