Opel Kadet vs Toyota Cressida…
Both cars are at least 30 years old and yet both are in perfect condition…Its German technology vs Japanese technology…And i love driving both…both have their advantages and disadvantages…
The Opel belongs to my grandpa…He bought it in 1978…Before that he had a triumph which i probably guess he regrets selling off…This car has been through everything…From North to South, east to west, it has covered the entire peninsular…of course now, it takes it at least 2 minutes to reach a 100km/h…yet, it has a solid body and its bright yellow colour makes it a familiar vehicle in the streets of ipoh…almost everyone there must have seen it at least once…
The Toyota belonged to my late uncle…He bought it in the seventies also…This car was superb…It has a 2.0 liter engine and would fly on the highways…It was a limousine in deed…A muscle car, my friends say…and indeed it is…sadly, this car wasnt as well maintained as my grandpas…but yet it can still fly…it can reach 150km/h easily…and its heavy making it beautiful to take corners…and there are not many models of this type in malaysia…so whenever i hit the streets in it, its a real eye catcher…so much so that a guy once ask me what type of jaguar it was when it isnt even a jaguar…
i really dont know why im bloging this post…hmm…well, at least for those car fanatics out there who love classics, this 2 models are definately in a class of their own…
