Hehehe

Anyone remembered John Secada's "Just Another day without you" sound like
the relationship with my zx.

This is probably the expensive month for me, I am just recovering from
last year's business meltdown financially. Havent paid my zx installments
for almost 10 months until this month, fortunately they dont really spend
a lot of effort of reposessing Citroen nowadays , probably due to the
market value and the difficulty of disposing citroen in the market
nowadays, I am sure one of you who works in the finance companies would
vouch to this. Not only that I have been driving without road tax for the
last 3 months...risky...what to do thats part and parcel of business.

Anyway , after RM 5000 poorer this month my car is legally on the road
again. so went to have an oil change , tyre change and again the wiring
of my famous fan relay meltdown. refering to the previous threads I think
I will give a Bitron Box change a try. I even added an X-1R to see how
it performs, "my car runs smoother now " Sounds like a cheap tagline from
a TV commercial. But the smoothening effect could be cause I have not
been able to change the oil for quite sometime so bile tukar mesti ade
rasa best. but now both my shocks are kaputed. this have to wait for next
month or 2 , I am eyeing at the Sachs performance setup.kalau ade duit
kalau takde then its just back to originals.

Anyway for those who were wondering why this misterious person call
whatcar asyik tenggelam timbul je probably you know why by now...

missed the April TT , have been missing a lot of TT's before but
hopefully you can see me in May TT.

cheers dudes

hari,

i done thru whatcar ordeal for few weeks laar, but now since i settled all
the bills and get my car policy,... is it not that most car out there has
first party laa, so if we knock, at least first party cover laa, for my
car i cover laa. cari laa kat potong kereta. cume problem laa kalau total.
but i won't really drive like i've first party laa, real cautious laar.

i dun really understand abt insuran sgt ni. supposed there is 99% car out
there with full policy, so the chances that we hit another car with no
first party very slim. if happen, God forbid laar.

i studied actuarial science and hv many friend in insurance, but till
today i really think that insurance company making too much money,
overcharging product and dumping too many expensive, unneccessary product.

you just said it correctly, that is how the insurance company market their
products based on fear rather than anything else.
