We participate in the Teamcity Honda Plant Visit on 18th November 2006. Teamcity had scheduled for a convoy from Bukit Jalil that 18th morning but we decided to travel on our own from Shah Alam. We woke up at around 4.15am and we start our journey at around 5am. We stopped at RNR for Subuh prayers and then sped off to Alor Gajah. We arrived at 7.30am and manage to find a small road-side stall to have our morning breakfast, cheap and delicious.
The convoy arrive at around 8.30am and we were instructed to enter A-Famosa Resort for parking. It was quite hectic as other Honda Club Members (Jazz, Accord, Civic) were there as well. There were about 150 Honda cars at the Plant Visit, from Malaysia and our neighbouring Singapore too. Arief got his share of the limelight as all the cameraman, official and un-official took his pictures. The event started at around 10am, registration and we received our door gifts. The usual speeched took place and lunch was served at noon. It was a "chinese style with a mix of italian cuisine" buffet.
The plant visit started at 1pm and we had to take a tour bus arranged by Honda Malaysia. We caught the glimpse of the new Honda Civic Mugen, limited to 100 units. We were briefed by the Honda Malaysia people during our factory visit and it was quite boring as they explained to us by reading from their notes. It was quite hot inside the plant and we were sweating profusely. At the end of the visit, we were given a cold towel to refresh and we manage to take a group photograph outside the plant lobby. We gather back at A-Famosa Resort and spend close to one-hour viewing the many Honda's. At the end, some of the TeamCity went back to KL but we managed to organize a small convoy to explore Malacca town :-)
