Forte Convoy Weekend GetAway to Malaysia on Sep 18-21.

heys guys, some of the bros r interested in driving up north(location nt confirm yet).
most of us r 1st time driving up & we nd any regular bros/sis to guide us for a fun & safe short holiday.
i know the traffic on that wkend going to kill us, maybe we can start @ a wee hr, drive slow & steady, just in time for a breakfast.

anyone got gd suggestion on where is the best place to drive up

tks for initiating bro!
Supporting you as promised!

Some suggestions:
1. Kota Tinggi
2. Desaru
3. KL

Sorry cant make it during this weekend. Damn it!! :-)

Please do be careful travelling at wee hours. Especially when its nearing sunrise. The visibility during this time might not be very good. :-)

Also, for new drivers, can be quite a challenge especially at the stretches where there is no streetlights. :-)

Also, dun be like some ppl I know, high beam all the way!! Very distracting to oncoming vehicles and ppl in front of you. :-)

Just a word of advise. :-)

i'm driving up to KL on 18 sep early morning to meet my old frens...

I'm driving to Pagoh on 18Sep night or 19Sep wee hours through 2nd link too

My old ride has no fog lights, hence I try not drive on Msia highways at night (where there is long stretch without street lights)

Can anyone tell me your experience when driving with and without fog lights in darkness - any vast differences?

I am heading up to KL on 18 Sept after work!...

no big deal. I will just high beam the entire lane. Fog light is only needed when in foggy conditions (eg. Genting Highlands) where high beam is practically useless.

Colmar Tropicale is nice !
Quiet and relaxing place. But basically nothing much to do up there besides walking around.

I'll be driving up, actually had been to Port D***son several times already, but never stay in this hotel.

Actually have been driving around W.Msia every school holidays (with kids & maid) bec my in-laws are there.

Ever drove to the East Coast (Kuantan/Kelantan), Cameron Highlands, Pangkor Island, Fraser Hill, Penang, Ipoh, Serambun... some of these places you don't see many SG cars - quite exotic

of course, my bro-in-law is my tour guide - I just follow his truck

white indian chief........mmmmm..........

ctoh bro, is ur trip fall on the sep long wkend?
r u interested in leading a couple of bros who wana drive up north?
for me, wana take my children for a short holiday lah...

Peiseh, I'm going in during this Sep school holiday. Will go KL to visit MIL (mother-in-law) after visitng PD. Then will stay at my bro-in-law's place.

Actually I don't like going in Msia during long weekend bec of the ridiculous jam @ causeway which can last 3 to 4 hrs. My rides have always been manual - leg will cramp, especially now older!

Perhaps during the next school holiday... sorry
