Precision driving and professional growth 🎯🚀 Last week I experienced the excitement of a driving training at a Porsche Experience Center 🏎️💨. We engaged in dynamic exercises like slalom at fast speed 🌪️, emergency evasion 🛑, and controlled management of oversteer and understeer 🔄. The ultimate test involved executing a controlled tail slide on a slippery surface 🧊, followed by a rapid acceleration 🚗💥, requiring sharp reflexes and meticulous control 🎮. The event wasn't just about the thrill; it offered valuable driving insights 📚. It also served as a networking opportunity, as I met colleagues from different departments and companies 🤝. More than entertainment, the training provided a profound understanding of the cars' capabilities 🏁. We pushed the vehicles to their limits within a safe setting, learning the delicate balance between maintaining control and embracing the car's full potential 🔧⚖️. Leaving the track, I felt a deeper respect for the engineering behind these cars 🛠️👏 and a revitalized commitment to my role. This day was a celebration of pushing limits and fostering innovation, in racing and beyond 🏆🌟. #PorscheExperience #PrecisionDriving #LimitTesting #Teamwork

Here is a list of every car I owned: Reply back: What was your first car & current daily driver? - First 1993 Plymouth Duster 144k Miles (Manual) - 2003 Ford Explorer (totaled) - 1993 Ford F150 - 2002 Ford Ranger - 2006 GMC Envoy Denali - 2008 Yukon Denali - 2009 Mercedes S550 - 1964 230SL - 2014 Jeep Wrangler - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee - 2014 Range Rover - 2018 Porsche - 2023 Ford Bronco - Current 2018 Land Rover Each car has a story to tell. From my 1993 Plymouth Duster, to my 2018 Land Rover, every vehicle has helped me get from point A to point B. Many times we forget to tell ourselves good job, cars for many are a means of transportation and for others it could be a goal that they are working towards. No matter where you are or what you drive, don’t stop pushing to be the best version of yourself. Slow down and give yourself some credit, if not you will continue to work and might lose sight of all the other goals you might be trying to achieve. Successful relationships, raising children, being debt-free, kids schooling, going on vacations, buying a home - the list goes on. The one thing that you should know is no matter what your career may be, you should treat others with respect and the title you have means nothing if you don’t know the power and responsibility that it comes with. Have a great Monday and kick some butt! #hardwork #career #life #focus #sales #business #leadership

Pursuit of Happiness 🚀 This part of my life..this little part..is called “Happiness”… Years ago, I took a pivotal step by joining a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Kedah, fueled by the dream of becoming a certified Mercedes-Benz Product Expert. An offer letter in hand, I envisioned a transformative career ahead. However, the path shifted unexpectedly, placing me in sales rather than the specialization I craved. Despite this deviation, my resolve didn’t falter. I waited patiently for a promotion or training that would steer me back on course. Unfortunately, I eventually realized that my advancement towards certification had been overlooked, a discovery that was both disheartening and eye-opening. This led me to make a tough decision: I left Mercedes-Benz to explore new horizons with Porsche. Yet, this detour only deepened my affinity for the brand that first captured my heart. My allegiance to Mercedes-Benz remained steadfast, and today, I am recharged and ready to chase the dream that has always been mine. As I renew my journey towards becoming a Product Expert / Product Specialist / Product Genius, I am a testament to the power of persistence and the importance of aligning with one’s passion. Here’s to turning challenges into stepping stones and never losing sight of what truly drives us. #dreamchase #mercedesbenzmalaysia #automotivemalaysia #automotivepassion #careerresilience #pursueexcellence #CycleAndCarriage #HapSengStar #AutomotiveCareer #StayDedicated #BMWmalaysia #BMW #opentowork #hireme

A missed opportunity rolled into my driveway this week as I took delivery of a 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R. 🦖 Unfortunately, my encounter was confined to tarmac. Urban structures and stoplights stole away the true promise of this automotive beast: the call of off-road trails, sand dunes leaping, and wells of mud that reflect nothing but a playful day ahead. 💡 Let's touch base on what we missed alongside: - A monstrous torque. - An exhilarating climb up any surface. - The echoing roar of an unrestrained V8 engine. - An interior that brings indulgence to the rugged domain. Dare I say, just another day at the office? Did you just smirk? That wasn't the intention. Because this F-150 Raptor R is swift enough to make the daily grind blush. Driving it on city lanes and highways, I couldn't help but think muddin'. Imagine tearing across uneven trails, feeling the raw power beneath, the thrill sending shivers up your spine. 💭 With high-performance BFGoodrich off-road tires and an awe-inspiring suspension system, this beast is more than a match for any untamed terrain. As borne out by the spirit of wild rides, our F-150 Raptor might just ask, Is that all you've got? 🌄 Raise a toast to the iconic blue oval that engineered such a marvel. Ford, thank you for crafting a drive that carries the promise to kickthe banality out of our everyday life. 😎 Exploring it at Artire's, we have only one regret. The trails went untouched, the dunes they slept tight, and the mud, well it remained a wish. Next time, the F-150 shall jump and swim and roar where it belongs! 🚀 Raise your voice. How would you experience the F-150 Raptor to its fullest intrinsic potential? -FordF150 -RaptorR -OffroadDriving -ArtireAuto -Gearheads - original source: https://lnkd.in/gtMz8HZg

Lessons from Ford v Ferrari for Marketers 🏁 🔄 Don't Rely on Past Success: In the 1960s, Ford lost its market share as the younger generation associated its car with their parents. So the CEO of the company wanted to change the brand image from "what was" to "what it could be" by deciding to participate in the Le Mans race. 👀 Gain Fresh Perspectives: Ford looked past the American market to rebrand and create a new product that is Ferrari & the 24 Hours of Le Mans. 🧪 Test and Experiment: Carroll Shelby’s team was relentless in testing and how to make the machine better to win at Le Mans. 🛑 Embrace Criticism: If someone doesn’t agree or like your plan, try to sell it. In the movie, Carroll Shelby cunningly took Henry Ford II for a spin in the race car just to make him understand how difficult it is to drive one and that Ken Miles was the man for the job. ☀️ Maintain a Positive Outlook: The film is a great example of thinking creatively outside of the box and believing in one's own ability to win.

What better way to end the year than by scooping three awards at the inaugural TopGear Awards ceremony held in early December! We are proud to share this exciting news that underscores the hard work, dedication, and excellence of each member of the Ford SA family. The TopGear awards set out to honour the remarkable cars, the individuals and the companies behind them.   A total of twenty-four awards were handed out on the evening and all recipients, except the Reader’s Choice Awards, were chosen by the TopGear South Africa editorial team. What makes these awards particularly special is the unique TopGear flair within the automotive industry, turning these recognitions of excellence into a celebration of industry innovation and emotion.   Despite strong competition, and an industry year defined by tenacity and resilience, Ford SA’s success was simply unmatched as it set a new benchmark with three well-deserved trophies - which was also the biggest trophy-tally of the night!   Bakkie (pick-up) of the Year - Ranger Raptor: The Ranger Raptor had previously been named TopGear’s best bakkie during a gruelling comparative test with over ten bakkies taking part. Thanks to its 292kW engine, Baja mode and Fox suspension, it powered its way to victory, beating rivals like the Volkswagen Amarok.   Manufacturer of the Year: This accolade is a testament to the collective effort needed for consistently delivering vehicles of exceptional quality and performance. Importantly, the award also celebrates past and future investment opportunities, including recently-announced local manufacture of the Ranger Plug-In Hybrid. New products in the pipeline, such as the Territory, Mustang, and Tourneo will also strengthen Ford’s market position.   Motoring Moment of the Year: From humble beginnings that established Ford South Africa in November 1923, the team and facilities have grown into a world-class operation that delivers the highest-quality vehicles to customers in South Africa and around the world. This award takes in to consideration the multi-faceted storytelling, expanded product range and major community initiatives that gives people in South Africa a bridge to the future and a promise of a better world. #WeAreFord#FordIMGInsider#
