Penang double takes: Bukit Audio

"Jom round-island" started it all...then we went after gathering a few heads...

This time we came accross this little spot on the highest point of the hill from Relau to Balik Pulau, where nobody would be disturbed by the blasting "thoomp! thoomp!" of woofers and flashing "bling-bling!" lights on cars everywhere...

The scene was nothing less than that from Too Fast - Too Furious, the part before the first race where everyone shows off their audio systems and exhaust fire kits etc...except there were no break-dancing little hispanic or black men here.

Apparently a major major happening scene amongst the Penang car-audio enthusiasts and stuff...supposed to happen every Saturday night...amazing thing to find in the middle of no-where. There are even a couple of mamak stalls there where u can enjoy a nice Teh Tarik in the slightly cooler hill atmosphere (on the nights were there are no-one blasting their systems)...

There were some really really impressive setups amongst the private and shop sponsored cars up there...but the main theme just seemed to be LOUD, but there were a few that had aesthetics in mind...shoulda brought my digicam...maybe nexweek :)... About a couple o' dozen cars all showing off and trying to be louder than the next...total chaos but interesting nonetheless...

A must visit if ure a car enthusiast or not :)

Mamak stalls in the middle of nowhere? Must be a sign that your "car audio expo" is a regular event bro.
