mukhang hindi... mukhang pahiram lang nga as a test drive vehicle...

kung magkakarga lang siya ng gas... and EDSA soutbound sya... may Shell station in Buendia cor. EDSA.

how about a nice letter to the BMW Phil President about the so-called race?

hindi naman "illegal" yung little road race niya e. you guys openly admit to going at 160 or 200 or some-other-incredible-number kph at NLEX or STAR or wherever. is speeding on edsa all that different?

the idiotic part is trumpeting his cheap "kill story" like some invincible-feeling teen-ager-who-just-got-his-license on a public paper, and the gall of posting a disclaimer with his column. hmm, baka naman "professional" siya? harhar :D imbecile!

Baka hindi siya may ari. Pina test drive lang siguro for the article.

tsk tsk...

nugundam,
maganda idea mo. padala tayo ng mga letters to Philstar regarding the irresponsibility of their writer. setting a bad example...

guys,
this thread reminds me of my thoughts on local motoring journalism. if you read the local papers, ang mga articles puro animo PR sa mga car companies and sponsor. madalang ako makabasa ng banat sa producto. pati ibang mga car shows ganun, di na ako magbabangit. alam ko naman very discriminating ang mga tsikoteers. o sure, these papers and shows rely on the sponsors. pero the very essence of journalism is to call a spade a spade. otherwise, bakit pa sila nag-journalist. nag PR na lang sana sila.

cheers.

I think he is trying to insinuate that the entry level Bimmer is a Ferrari-killer.

Shows you the distance that these so called motoring journalists would do to pull a PR plug for their masters.
