My Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

VIN is like our surat beranak. It helps to identify so many things.
For those who still wonder, it is located on top of your right headlamp. Written on a metal plate. Yes of cos u have to open your bonnet first meh:-)

And for the online shopper, this VIN might help to select the correct replacement parts for your car.

Cinta pandang pertama?

It was back around year 2000 when MBF-card giving away Peugeot 406 coupe in 1 of their contest. It was my first sight, and yes i fell in love at first sight with 406.
Of cos I didnt won hua hua..

2007, we need a 2nd car...in jb that time..

So, my wife and I pusing-pusing used car around jb...kalau yg familiar with jb, jln masai lama, nearby carrefour..ada byk used car kat situ..ada sebijik gold color 406..tp masa tu ada org lain yg dok tengok2 kereta tu..punya lama org tu dok usha, xnak blah2..that nite, my mind keep thinking about that 406..the very following mrning, we went there again n im sooo 'lega'..that person din take that car..hehe

Cut it short, the gold 406 sedan is mine..and she's almost 3 years with me now. Year 2000 car registered in 2001,2.0L 16V deluxe (with full leather interior. It cost me RM40K.

That time, others used car with nearly the same price, volvo S40 year 2000,hyundai sonata and elantra, proton waja and perdana.Their age might be different lil bit.

Do i regret for taking Peugeot 406 and not the other?i dun wanna answer that for now:-)

I keep a log book for my pug. every single thing that i can, i jotted down. from the VIN number,maintainance record,replaced parts, and to the pitch size of wheel stud:-)

I think i can share some of my experienced, lil things that i know abt peugeot, esp 406. And i think i shud. Why? Becoz we, the peugeot's owner are the minority here in malaysia. The more we can share the better. And that is y i started this blog.

so..gud luck for me..and welcome to u..semoga Allah rahmati...:-)
