I'm off to Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) tomorrow morning to join my wife who has been there on business for the past 8 weeks. Her stay has been extended by another 4 weeks so her company has given me a plane ticket to join her.

I note there is a Chevy dealer there so I plan to see if they have Blazers there & what accessories they have (if any). They are also RHD.

 

that sounds like a nice company, cool deal.

 

It's American. Ingram-Micro.
Supposedly the largest distributor worldwide of electronic goods. TV's computors etc etc.

 

Check to see if they have the headlight sprayers!

I want some for my Blazer...

 

see you in 2weeks

 

sweet deal see ya when u get back!

 

O.K. I'm back!

Kuala Lumpur is an ok place but not somewhere where I would have gone from choice but it was a free trip & beggars can't be choosers - especially if that's where the wife is. I did get to see the Petronas twin towers & spend a few days on the east coast but otherwise there's not much that I haven't seen elsewhere.

Driving in Malaysia is crazy - when they change lanes they squeeze up to the car in the next lane tillthey give way & lethim in.Sometimes they indicate,sometimes they don't, but despite this there seems to befew accidents, they are all aware of this & let each other in.

The worst are the guy's on motorcycles (50cc things), they are all around & swerve in & out between the traffic. One momentall's clear then suddenly one is in front, next to or trying to squeeze in between cars. They ride these buzz bikes & often are bunched like a swarm of mosquito's. They ride with the wife & kids. I saw one with a guy, his missus & 3 small kids. They ride whilst textingor on the mobile(saw lots doing this) all on the motorway/highway. When it rained the other day a guy was riding on the motorway in the slow lane, probably around 30 km p hr holding an umbrella to keep dry. I tried to take a pic but couldn't get a clear shot.

By the way drperry, no Chevy presence in Malaysia between 1960 & 2003! They don't know what a Blazer looks like! They had a new Corvette & Silverado a few months back & couldn't sell it so it went back to the States. The guy couldn't remember if they wereLHD or RHD.
The cars they now sell are the Aveo 1.4 ltr & the Optra 1.6 & 1.8 ltr. The Optra also comes as an estate(station wagon). The dealers english was bad (chinaman) but I understand these 2 models are based on GM's Dawoo cars. The 3rd model is the Captiva which is a smallish SUV & competes with the Honda CRV, Toyota RAV's etc. We have them here badged as the Holden Captiva,(in Europe the Opel & probably alsoVauxhallin the UK.) Both in AWD & FWD with 2.4 ltr gasoline & 2.0 ltr diesel engines.

GASOLINE is still dirt cheap - Less than a NZ$ a litre - probably around 70 cents US. They have their own oil!

More later.

 

Man thats just stupid, we have our own oil too, perfect example of why we should use domestic oil.

 

Glad to hear you had a good trip!

No worries on the headlight sprayers, lol, I'll survive

Welcome back!
