MIG (Men In Grey)

Well, well, we were out for Baskins tonight in Bangsar and guess what? The MIG (Men In Grey) struck again.

Yen was out with Lily tonight for some girl talk. So I thought it would be sensible to let her go have some of her own time with her friend. I wasn't really in the mood tonight anyway. After getting a rejection from a potential employer, I was pretty down and felt like having something sweet. So called Merv up and Ming Tzern for some ice-cream. Since the Sun newspaper has been giving out these coupons, and I've collected a few... thought I'd just meet up with them to have some ice-cream.

After ice-cream, we were on the way home and when we were walking along Bangsar, we saw some sirens. The MIG had made their presence felt and they were doing their rounds again. Yes, it's funny how they only seem to tow Protons and other cheaper makes. We were watching the whole ordeal and there was a 5 series parked on the other side of the road and it was not even touched. Hmmm, discremination? Are the MIG telling us to buy foreign makes instead of local cars? Why the attitude to tow local makes and not German manufactured automobiles?

It kinda makes me wonder. I was thinking we should all just get Bentleys! Or the RR Phantom. I'd like to see them tow that! Yes, Merv and Ming Tzern were saying that they have the 3 tonne truck that tow bigger vehicles. But they usually just bring the 1 tonne truck, so you're safe. However, since both Bentley and RR are now owned by the Germans, you're safe in the first place. The MIG would go, "Ohhh, German marque, no need to tow..."

Kudos to the government for lower import taxes on large capacity cars. Now we'll see more petrol guzzling Beemers on the road. Why get the 2.0 when you can now afford a 3.5 V6 or a 4.5 V8. Of course there's the road tax and insurance to worry about, but heck if you can afford these cars, what's a couple of tens of thousands worth? Just like changing a Kancil every year!
