You only let me push you so far
Star Wars last night, it was colourful and i have to admit that i really admire george lucas' imagination. For someone to imagine warships and colonies and images like that is really very admirable. He ought to be a car designer too, maybe we'd have cooler looking cars on the road. And whoever said the tickets were booked 2 weeks in advance was bullshitting me. Grr.
Went for the Ford Focus launch this morning with Fabian and the ford club members, interesting event but the car was a tad disappointing. Test drove the car and found that the power transmission was lagging, badly. 'Nuff said. Imagine if my picanto's pick up is faster than urs, that is very sad. But handling was sharp, car feels stable. And they did a slalom course with the car to show us the car's superb ESP and ABS with emergency braking. Coolness, body roll was reduced but, yes the lagging transmission. Either the car lacks power or the power transmission is lagging badly. If u have to get the ford focus, get the ghia/giah(can't rem spelling) model, it actually has a sunglass holder where the handlebar's on the roof for the driver. Well tt's a cool function coz most drivers don't ever use that handle anyway. WTF would you be?
After that we headed to the citroen C5 launch. woot! it's a superb car. Really, very cool car, expensive price tag too. Didn't get to test drive the car, the sales ppl there were snooty, maybe coz they thought the ford club members were there just to look see. But the event launch by ford was v well done, esp if u compared it to the citreon c5 launch, blah. It looks like a normal saturday. So dreary and drab. Gonna celebrate huili's birthday later, happy birthday girl.
