My trusted steed.. since the day Qayyum was born! It was older than him 😆 If you browse back my earlier blog you will find that I got this car on the week he was born. We needed a better car and it was just fortunate that Abang Fathul ( who was then a Proton dealer) offered a good price for a V6 Perdana car.

It was a trusted steed and survived all the years. When I bought my F30 in 2015, I gave this to Papa for his daily use. Memang kena lanyak lah by everybody Mutee and Meng. How many times I had to settle the summons and the car went for a few overhauls for the damage. Alhamdulillah it was still in one piece.
Later when Qayyum joined PASUM, I thought of handing this car back to him. I could have bought a new car but I thought he would learn more about cars with this old Perdana. It was n a really bad condition when he first got it (haha memang tak terjaga langsung in Taman Tun) So we had to go back to square one to get this car back into its groove. I spent quite a lot to recond this car into a safe one! It was not safe wei when driving it the first time after taking it over from Papa. The reason I spent that much because I thought that it would be Qayyum's ride till forever!! Little did I know....
Qayyum had his bit of lessons meeting mechanics, workshops, breakdown towing haha I gather it was a really good experience for him to learn about taking care of a car. THis V6 had a good engine and certainly was an excellent steed. Aircond dia still menggigil weh hahaha
And when he accepted the offer to study in Bristol, I decided to sell off the car. The thought of passing it down to Qaisya was there; but... dont think she can handle this piece of art 😛 Qayyum managed to sort it out with CARSOME (Yup.. told him u settle it) and we ended up with Deficit la with the amount I spent to repair it! Should have sold it to the mechanic whilst repairing it as he offered a really good price!
And there we were, saying our farewell to the car who was as old as Qayyum himself..😀
