Kismas 09 Auto Airbrush Workshop

It has been a long and arduous journey. We've had the rug pulled out from under our feet so many times in previous shows that we've really gotten used to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and even 5th place. On many occasions, the outright favoritism was blatant and palpable with some really farcical evaluation from the judges. We were all getting really tired with the constant indignity.

Then we got wind of a show that would be judged by some experts from Australia and Indonesia some 350 kilometers away at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil. We got our game faces on, and we're happy to announce that we took back first place in the Open Xtreme Modified Challenge!

Kudos to the organizers at Kelab Autoshow, the judges, the participants, and not forgetting all the wonderful visitors that made the show simply awesome!


Remember to check your tire pressure folks, especially when embarking on road trips.
