A few of us, 18 cars to be exact, had a very good outing last Sunday.  The route took us to Bentong, Teranum, Gap, Fraser Hill, Kuala Kubu Baru, Batang Kali, Goh Tong and back to KL.  Compared to other previous drive, this particular one was an easy drive, not because of lack of desire to drive fast but because of the road condition which was wet and slippery.  On the way back we had a little adventure in Ulu Yam.  Read on to find our little adventure.

By 9.00 am all but two cars arrived the RV.  Farisya was lost somewhere in Batu Caves and Joshua was lost at Kepong of all places.  Our Singapore friends had no problem finding the RV.   Kwok Jen and CH knew nearly all the roads in Malaysia.  Their GPS equipped Porsches seem to have a very good sensing capability - the smell of Big Mac at the Projet could have drawn their mean machines there.  A pleasant surprise awaited us.  Guess who turn up that morning - our very own race driver - Marcus Chye.  This time he was not in his favorite Lotus Elise but a very potent silver Porsche 993 RS.  The briefing was very short.  It was going to be a Time, Speed, Distance run.  All drivers were given 90 minutes to reach Gap.

At 9.20 sharp the convoy rolled.  The cars were grouped in two packets, the above 2 liter and below 2 liter with the exception of the gold colored tow truck (a 300SL) which was the lead car of the convoy.  Alex in his turbo powered Miata was the sweeper for the below 2 liter packet.  In the above 2 liter pack Md Nor, in his Boxter S was the lead car and Kwok Jen in a grey Porsche 996 C4S was the sweeper.  Six UHF radio communications were used to control the convoy.
