Third Prize in the “Me & My Car” Contest

Published by simon on August 18, 2005

As some of you might have noticed, I won the third prize in the “Me & My Car” contest organized by Dinzlink and his blogging car 8555 (both of which are on a temporary hiatus). I was quite ecstatic about it, I never win anything in all these contest (Dinzlink might want to interject here that there were only 4 entries, so Simon chances of winning was 75%, but Simon is not paying attention)

The prize was of course an ORIGINAL copy of the movie “Initial D” on ORIGINAL VCD. First off, I’m not a fan of recent Hong Kong movies (the last one I paid money to watch one was probably some Kung Fu Hustle, and before that Shaolin Soccer). It’s not that I have anything against HK movies, I used to watch one every week when I was in university. It’s just that every other one that comes out these days is either an unfunny slapstick bomb, pretentious high art muddle or a copycat cheap horror flick.

So about my ORIGINAL Initial D. I won’t go into a fanboy review here, there’s plenty of that around the Net. Instead:

If Initial D Was Set In Malaysia:

  • Pasukan KL Menjerit and their modified Proton Iswaras will lose every race they compete in. Even to Team Cili Padi Killer Kancils.

  • The traffic police can make RM30,000 per night on summons.
  • KL mechanics and spare part dealers can afford to drive CLKs and live in Damansara Heights.
  • The hero would beaten up every day in school for being an androgynous introverted effeminate loser.
  • Roadkill cats, dogs, frogs, snakes, squirrels and drug addicts would litter the streets.

Remember folks, buy the ORIGINAL.

    1. Rafidah will give out more APs to import GT cars.

    2. Driving schools will incorporate drifting as part of the practical syllabus.

    3. Everyone will start eating tofu.

  2. keng Said,

    …Petronas will officially be in the scene for petrol kiosk.

    …roads to Genting Highlands become a popular race circuit. The holding can consider building up a separate narrower lane for racers. Maybe good ROI than their existing go-cart entertainment. Oh.. a Genting Hospital may probably be required in Gohtong Jaya just in case.

  3. zyrin Said,

    eh, japjapjap…

    what’s with the sudden Damansara Heights fixation?

    Bukit Tunku more ‘exclusive’, maaa…

  4. Inevitable Said,

    Slow la u simon, now only watch Initial D. You should check out their anime. Fantastic!

  5. egghead Said,

    I always try to get “original quality” VCDs and DVDs :P

  6. 8dee Said,

    I must agreed that the anime looks a lot nicer. There is more lame joke on the movie version, but real cars just look very tempting to watch.

    Damansara height is good enough for most of the people….I would want to live there.

  7. hedonistics Said,

    Damansara Heights? Give me Tropicana please.

  8. simon Said,

    hedonistics - ah yes, forgot about Rafidah…

    Keng - i cant imagine the hero working in PETRONAS!!! With that green and white uniform!!!!

    zyrin - bukit tunku too many politicians and MPs, chinamen mechanics prefer Damansara Heights.

    inevitable - like i said, me no big fan of chinese movies now…

    egghead - ‘original quality’ also hard to find now… :)

    8dee - yeah, seeing the REAL cars is so much better.
