It was a near-wet morning of Saturday, 5th of October when we gathered at the Sg Besi toll at 8.30am on the dot! This was an impromptu drive; a drive specially catered for Gee who was in town and had to leave for Perth the following day.

 Due to the last minute effort by Julian, (and over a few drinks at that) only a few days before, numbers were never going to be big. As it turned out only four cars made it though Sly (Miata), Doc (MX3), Alan (MR2) and Lynette & Benny (Miata) were still trying to make it till the very last minute.

 At approximately 8.45pm after filling up at the nearby Shell station, Kevin (MX3) led the convoy of Hyundai Coupe (Sri), Fiat Coupe (Julian) and Miata (Trevor) along the NSE before turning off to the Kajang toll plaza. From there on, traffic was extremely light as we took the highway leading to KLIA. Needless to say the route was supreme! It was all to short on the highway as we existed the KLIA toll plaza in no time at all.

 From there, we worked our way to Sepang town where the road was twisty with fast corners. The scenery was breathtaking. Very hilly and contrasting land contours were a sight for sore eyes! And traffic was still relatively light. Our only gripe was there were roadworks going on at some stretches causing momentarily stops.

 In Sepang town, a quaint sleepy town, we managed to find a roadside restaurant and stopped for breakfast and managed also to gobble up delicious sardine sandwiches courtesy of Gee who was riding with Sri.

 After that fairly quick stop, we proceeded to depart from Sepang town to Lukut via Port Dickson. We were pleasantly surprised with the condition of the "old" road to PD!

 All in all, it took us less than 20 minutes to reach Lukut where traffic was starting to build up a little. With only 4 cars on this drive, traffic lights poses no problems as we were very much intact most of the time.

 After a few minor frustrating stops at the traffic lights, we reached PD town! We by-passed most of the hotels along the way and worked our way to the other end of PD (near Tanjung Tuan) and stopped at the public beach on the 6th mile. At 11.00am, it was still early so parking was never going to be a problem. We managed that by parking next to each other.

 The kids (Zachary & Kieron) were delirious to see the beach and wasted no time having a whale of a time playing beach football and building sand castles. Gee, being the only lady this time around didn't have a choice playing mother while the rest of us were busy looking for a shady spot under the tree. 

 When we found a spot we all agreed on, Sri initiated to rent some beach chairs while Kevin, as usual, went around looking for chilled beers! Sri managed to get 5 chairs and Kevin managed to get 8 cans of could-be-chillier Carlbergs.

 The weather was perfect. Looks like rain but nope! Perfect weather (for us locals)! As we chatted the afternoon away with Trevor stocking up on the beers at some point and Julian filling our stomach with Ramli burgers, it was soon lunchtime. After asking, telling, threatening and bribing the kids to leave, we were soon back in our beauties to lunch.

 Gee jumped into Trevor's Miata and with the top down, that little Miata and the rest of us followed Sri who led the way to lunch. Not too far away, Sri managed to find a very decent "halal" Chinese Restaurant where we all got to park in a row in front of the entrance. The owner welcomed us with red carpets. Well. not quite, but close! 

 Lunch was delicious but a tad expensive. We figured Julian's $200,000.00 car was the culprit! Anyway, with stomachs filled, we decided to call it a day. But we weren't going to leave PD before checking out Glory Beach Resort. This was the tentative venue of our 1st anniversary celebration next month. After a quick tour by Sri, everyone gave him the thumbs up!

 Back to good ol' KL. We took the exact route back. Again the scenery captivated us, so we decided to stop and take in the beauty Mother Nature has to offer. Kevin and Trevor took this golden opportunity to jump into Julian's car and went for a spin. And what a spin it was! All 220 horses on the Fiat Coupe were felt at every gear change!

 As we continued, Kevin and Julian decided to have a bit of fun playing catching while Gee, who was behind the wheel of Sri's Hyundai Coupe stayed clear with Trevor sticking to them. By 4.00pm, after the KLIA toll plaza, we all stopped and said our goodbyes, especially to Gee and thanked her for the work she's contributed to the club. Thanks Gee, come back again SOON!
