Moanings of the Day !

Greetings once again.I trust all of you had a very productive week,being week 26 of 2007.Wow-that's half of the year gone by.I'd like to moan about the state of our local content or local parts development in Malaysia.(or the serious lack of it is more like it) Do anyone of you ever realize how it is nearly impossible to get any automotive component developed?? And we have our national oil company posting higher profits every year.Won't it be better if just a percentage of that is channeled back into the country and assist in the development of Motorsports?event sponsorships? and whatever else?What do they do instead?They pay BMW and Peter Sauber to go racing in F1. Or buy expensive works race cars,or help Foggy run his Race team.What have we gained from all this? Come on la PETRONAS,lets see you guys do something for all Malaysians. Lend a hand to Karamjit or sponsor some grassroot race event like the Proton Championship or even Rally of Malaysia.
Instead,we spend bucket loads of taxpayers ringgits to host F1 in our country,on our track(that is in a sorry state) and now Bernie wants us to spend more!Please la...we can gain sooo much from all this but.......haiyaaa.....its frustrating to moan about this but whatthaheck.....

Greetings from an obscure place in the Malaysian Automotive Hub(cap)

Goood evening to all you petrol and dieselheads out there...I've been influenced by my crazy wife to start a blog.Well,to start with,I am a self confessed auto maniac,though it doesn't show that much now.Its gotten a little disheartening to be in the Malaysian auto industry.We need to wake up and get on with it.We have people taking about having our own GT Race team?Well helooooooo wake up la and please take a whiff of fresh petrol.....

Anyways,this is my first posting and I'd rather not moan too much just yet !
