SMYUEN is on a distinguished road
My car in a rare location for photos!!

Was attending an event and couldnt resist taking some shots in this rather unique location... hehe

enjoy!


Nothing beats the green green grass.....


The newer coupes come with a new face - bigger grille, bigger trident, new add-on front bumper..


Revised gransport-inspired rear bumper... my fave are the quad pipes...:>


Rear-side profile... shows the lines best....


Side view....


cross drilled brakes......


Yup thats a goal post... and its a soccer field!!!! hehehe...



This is my first time driving something non-german in more than 6 years... my verdict?

Italian cars are special. Its a difficult to describe feeling - the look, the leather, the dash, the steering - its un-BMW.. it connects in a different way compared to a BMW.

In my BMW, one just throws the car anyway and everyway and the car stays true.. The maser handles impeccably too, but there is this sense of surrealness in the way it delivers its punch... some would call it detachment... but I would call it attachment... because it is a car that gets better the more you drive it, because it gives its best only when you know it well... Driving it then becomes an emotional experience...

My "mods" so far.... kekeke

1. White philip lights for the front fogs and side lights.
2. Lowering of ride height by 10mm (the maser comes stock with coil-overs!)... eventually will be 16-18mm lowered.
3. V-cool...

Future mods...
1. Maybe tubi exhaust?
2. Maybe CF add-on kit?? (standard on soon to be released MC victory edition...)

Cheers!
