Mazda Performance Day 2007
ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!
It is another year of Mazda Performance Day. This year this time, we got invited (again) to join the crew to have some fun in all the Mazda Performance Series (MPS) super babes –MX5, Mazda 3, 6 and RX 8!!!
I felt abit reluctant to go this year due to heavy work loads. But heck, come to think of it, it is always worth it. Oh yeah.
I get to take a guest with me this year, so I decided to bring Ryan along. Ryan is a big fan of cars, and Dick Johnson, maybe 
The highlight of the event was Dick Johnson driving all the VIP and guests in RX 8!! Two “!“s for the excitment! One for the car, and another one goes to Mr. Johnson. 
I didn’t know Mr. Johnson is Australia legendary V8 driver..or whatever they call him. I was told he is a BIG thing in Australia. Still!!! After one year, I stil don’t get the ‘WOW’ effect, much *paiseh*
There were around 20 VIP were invited to te Performance Day. Mr. Johnson gave everyone 2 hot laps in RX8. (Let’s do some math here, twenty multiply by two, it is equal to FORTY!!! G! It is not easy being Mr.Johnson mann)
Mr. Johnson drove at the limit of 160km/h !!! Holy cow! Ryan expected me vomiting all over the place. Alas..If I did, I won’t let that happend infront everyone including the organiser lah. I know how to jaga my muka after all, yeh? *wink*
Mr. Johnson is very very down to earth. He was trying to chat with me during the Hot Lap. I could hardly blurp out few words. Man! Both my hands were holding tight on both side of passenger seat. All I could think was: OH! Please! May this RX 8 don’t fly out to the sky like E.T bicycle! Oh please!
He asked me if I am a BIG fan of sport cars. *funny question* I told him I am not a HUGE fan.. I prefer $$$ at any time He laughed. Yeah mah! Who doesn’t like $$$? You tell me!
We all got our photos with Mr. Johnson, and they were all autographed by him. I am happy. At least this year, I know him a bit better
The organiser allowed everyone to drive (speed) in MPS babes. I don’t fancy Mazda 3 anymore since I’ve driven one last year before. I loved to drive RX-8, but I decided to give it a pass because I don’t want to embarass myself infront everyone. Changing gear is abit different in RX-8. Mazda 6 is indeed a very sophosicated car. I highly recommend this car for parents with pram(s).
I didn’t really want to go down to the driving track because the road was wet due to an episode of pouring rain. Plus all other VIP were so eager to race (to heaven or hell), it kinda freak me out abit. I am constant 60–80km/h-driver after all
I decided to drive in MX-5 at the end. Purely because it is the first car heading out the track. And HAHA! You guess it right!! I wanted to SLOW everyone down!!! I just like to annoy people hella ‘em. It was so cool mannn! What an entertainment. *shiok* The best part was.. the men couldn’t say much about me because I am a girl!!! *yay for girl power*
At the end of driving/speeding session, we got Mr.Johnson to autograph out sounveniers from Mazda. We (me, Kian and Ryan) called Dick Johnson, Mr. Johnson, whilst the rest of the people simply no-big-no-small call him Dick. WTF?
“Dick! Can you sign my book please”
“Dick! can you please..Dick.. Dick.. Thank you, Dick!”
“Dick..Dick..DICK!!”
WT Fish man!!! You don’t call people like that!!! It is sooooo wrong! Can you imagine if all the dicks had been translated to Hokkien?
“Lanjiao! Can you sign my book please”
“Lanjiao! can you please..Lanjiao.. Lanjiao.. Thank you, Lanjiao!”
“Lanjiao..Lanjiao..LANJIAWWW!!!”
So wrong, right? I feel sorry for Mr. Johnson. He is innocent! So do I
I was very pleased to see everyone had a great time at the Performance Day. Driving should be fun, enjoyable and all about happiness despite my slow-boat-to China speed (quote from Ryan)
I took few photos here and there…
One like this with Ryan.
Another like this with Mr. Dick Johnson!!!!!
How cool is that?
Uber Kewl! You’ve met Dick Johnson! Aussie V8 Racing Legend!
