I just gotten to know that I'll be starting work on the 8th day of Chinese New Year earlier today. So it means that there's some spare time for me to do something different with the extra bits of time.
I'd planned to set up a challenge for myself and my poor little car. You see, I travelled a lot in my car. It's a Black Nissan Latio Sport, with a 1.5L inline engine, producing a maximum power of 109ps or 80kW. Max Torque peaks at 148Nm. It's a pretty decent family car (Not a sports car!), with good fuel cosumption (FC) figures, with mine averaging around 14km/L. It's about 2 and a half years old, but clocked a total of 140,000km to date! And all this distance was covered in Singapore only!
Now, my challenge is simple. Drive all the way up North and hit the Thailand border, and turnaround. Sounds pretty simple, huh. Well, not really.
I'll be filling my car with petrol to the brim just before the 2nd Link, try to get as far North as possible before the next fill-up. And then repeat the same until the turnaround and back to Singapore. So, do stay tuned to look out for my FC figures!
I planned to do the above in the shortest span of time possible, 1 day (That's pretty impossible and insane!), 2 days (Schedule looks tight, but fine), 3 days (A bit of luxury in terms of resting time). This, in which, I'd yet to decide on.
Anyway, I'd planned to do this alone, but my car can sit up to 4 comfortably (Including driver). So, anyone out there who would like to be part of the challenge, please feel free to drop me an E-Mail at garrisonism@gmail.com and I'll try to figure out how the trip can be arranged. Oh, and at my discretion, of course!
In the mean time, I'll be accepting feedbacks or advises from anyone out there with regards to this challenge. Or any sponsors too for that matter. A poll has been set up (On the left side-bar on this blog) in case you would like to give any opinions, but shy to E-Mail me.
Good luck to me!
