This event was held on 19th of May 2007, which gathers most of the car enthusiasts, models and photographers around Klang Valley. We also had the event announced a while ago in DE.

And most of us might ask if this has to do with a design blog, well that it might be a direct relation at first but as soon you read through, you might learn one or two new things on culture and design in car enthusiasts community. Pretty neat I would say. Putting aside the Fast N Furious scene, it’s much less like a playground for collectors, just like what a coke lover would do.

The usual tour around the entrance led us through a series of technical workshop sightseeing, which might be an interest to non-car enthusiast but across the pathway you will notice that there is a lot of cars which is engineered to run on racing tracks.

But on the other hand, there are cars showcased on the event itself are built purely for I.C.E. (In Car Entertainment). Equipped with LCD TV, gaming console and even some took it few notch higher, facelifting the look and seats inside the car.

Of course on the exhibition area, there are only 3 of the cars for showcase purpose and were not eligible for any competition during that time, but it is also nice to see some of the cars are really crafted with a lot of effort and time.

Apart from workshops and showcase, main highlight of the event was to select the best car from its look, both exterior and interior.

Despite being a competition, there are some that would take it over the edge…slightly.

Exotic Cars

Setting apart from the crowds are cars which are for display where some are not meant to be driven on the road with bumpy conditions.
