SuperCar Charity Challenge

Supercar Charity Challenge in Malaysia!

I've got to thank Hafyzdinh Hadin for telling me about this! But why did I chose to make an article on this thing? For two reasons. First, the cars are incredible and I just had to share this with you guys. Second, I've lived 3 years in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), so I kind of feel connected to this haha! I don't know much about the event itself, except that, like the name suggests, it's a charity drive. It lasted for 3 days: they took off from Kuala Lumpur (KL) and headed over to Johor Bahru! What was the good cause? They raised up to RM 500,000, twice of what was expected (a little bit more than 115000 euros) for education of underprivileged youth in Johor.
The Sultan of Johor himself took part in this supercar charity challenge and brought his incredible and beautiful light blue / white Bugatti Veyron! There were approximately 100 cars on this event. All the cars present there were crazy (LP670 SV, chrome LP640, Ford GT, white Jaguar XJ220, Ferrari 430 scuderia, Porsche GT3RS, LP560-4, Ferrari 360 CS, Mercedes SLR, and many many more...). All the pictures were taken from Mean Machines Facebook page << follow them!!! Malaysia Boleh ;)

Let's just enjoy the pictures, shall we? (click to enlarge)

Car trivia - the endless declinations of a supercar

Unless you're reading this article by mistake, I'm pretty sure you like cars, especially supercars. Every time you're lucky enough to spot one of these beautiful machines, let it be at an auto show or even better, in the wild, I know your heart beats faster than usual. Sometimes, you see a car that looks very familiar and say "hey, a Gallardo!". But it turns out it's not just a Lamborghini Gallardo, but a Lamborghini Gallardo Nera. This is what this article is about: the endless declinations of a supercar.

The deal with car plates: explained !!

  What's the big deal with car plates??  

Of course, cars and plates go together. But not everyone really understands the "meaning" of plates and what they represent. What I'll try to do here is to explain what the fuss is all about, according to me. What kind of plates are we talking about? Just browse down and take a look at the pictures, plates such as : 11111, G 55, 77177... I think you get the drift. Those kind of plates are usually a good way for the authorities to make a quick buck : they're very expensive. Sometimes, worth millions of dollars (numbers such as "1" or "5", for example). Attention : although this article is all about arabic plates, the special plates phenomena is not exclusively arabic : countries such as the UK allows car owners to choose their number plate (in exchange of a certain sum of money): 2 BE, F1ANCY, BUL 5, VI...
