Beauties pair up with classic cars
KUALA LUMPUR: Shutterbugs swarmed by the dozens around 18 beauties at The Star's Classic Car Rally Photo Contest.
Five beauties TV personalities Jojo Struys and Daphne Iking, 8TV Quickie host Megan Tan as well as RedFM DJs Linora Low and Mynn Lee posed with 13 four-wheeled classic cars during the photo contest yesterday.
Friends Lee Shing Yaw, 45, and Frederick Francis, 40, were among the first to arrive at the contest's first stop at Central Market.
“I am looking forward to taking pictures of classic cars with Struys because I've never had the chance to snap pictures of her with cars before,” Lee said.
Pit stop: Classic car owners refuelling at a Petronas station before heading to Alamanda Putrajaya. The two friends also followed the rally to its other venues Sunway Pyramid and Alamanda Putrajaya. The three locations were the venue sponsors for the rally.
Frederick and Lee are eyeing the first prize a Sunrise electric moped worth RM8,000, one dining voucher @ The Hub, Alamanda Putrajaya worth RM150 and a free fashion VIP membership.
Soo Wai Fun, 32, who was at the Sunway Pyramid session, said she was really attracted by the design of the cars.
“It must be really hard to maintain them in such a good condition,” she added.
Classic car owner and IT company managing director Syed Abdul Kadir Ibrahim, 69, who drove his 1977 RUF Porsche 911 Targa, said the event was fuss-free.
He also brought his three other cars, a 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spyder, a 1965 Jaguar Mark 2 and the iconic 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1, which is the only one of its kind in Malaysia.
Another owner Mahinder Muker, 62, who brought his 1971 Mercedes Benz 280S (W108), said the rally was a good chance to show the public that there were such cars here.
The contest is open to all Malaysians aged 18 and above. Submit your entries before 5pm this Friday to thestarmotorcarnival@gmail.com.
Submissions are limited to two photographs per venue, with a maximum file size of 2Mb. Pictures may be with or without the celebrities.
