Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-01-23


  • Joined the special club of idiots yesterday when attempting to drive into an underground car park with a bike on the roof. #
  • Is there a classier sedan on the market than the Citroen C5 in China? The 3.0L V6 was built for wafting on a budget. #
  • Was the new Nissan Sunny designed with selling any models in mind? That car has some awkward design around the rear! #
  • Nearly year of the rabbit. Time to buy a new car. Go for SUV or something awesome like the JDM Honda Odyssey? #

    Ouch, Ash. Sorry to hear that – any damage to your car?

    The C5 is very handsome. Citroen copied the 3-series but they did it right. I’m a fan of V6′s, but for that price you can also get a base 3.0L Reiz.

    The Guangzhou-Honda Odyssey is nice, but a bit too “family”. Just join the crowd and get a Q5 already.

      Just a small ding, the speed was less than 5km.

      Big fan of the C5, its the classiest sedan on the roads here, I hope they bring out the Citroen SUV soon.

      Agreed – very family, but very shi yong.

        Which had more damage, the car or the bike?

        The C5 is nice and you don’t really need something as boring as an Odyssey for a few more years yet. I still think you should get the Dodge you want though :-)

          Maybe the bike came worse off over all during the day – blown suspension fork after flying over a big dirt jump, chipped frame (I fell off) and then I drove it into the car park roof.

          The car has a dint in the roof where the roof rack pushed down on the roof, nothing too bad, I will have that and a few other scratches and dings taken care of after the Chinese new year in one shot, then ill trade it in for something awesome during the summer.
