KUCHING (July 20): From a Transformers-inspired Camaro to a Spy Family-themed four-wheel drive (4WD), the Apoclaypse Auto Show Vol 3 shifted into high gear today. Car enthusiasts and participants rolled into CityOne Megamall basement carpark as early as 8am today to proudly showcase their heavily tuned-up machines, with the revs of roaring engines could be heard from a distance. Among the show-stopping cars was a yellow Chevrolet Camaro with black stripes, clearly drawing inspiration from the 2007 'Transformers' film. Under the hood, it sported an Autbots logo on the engine block, with stacks of miniature Camaros and a Volkswagen Beetle placed on it — a nod to the beloved Autobot character Bumblebee. Also turning heads was a 4WD decorated with three anime action figures and a plushie of Yor Forger — one of the iconic leads from hit anime series Spy Family — adding a playful touch of pop culture. Other eye-catching entries included a sleek Lotus Elise, a Toyota GR86, and a fleet of meticulously modded Subarus. The event was officiated by Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) Sarawak chairman Michael Kong, who represented DAP Sarawak chairman and Stampin MP Chong Chieng Jen; as well as Democratic Action Party Socialist Youth (Dapsy) Sarawak secretary George Lam, who represented Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii. Kong said: 'While we celebrate this passion for the automotive world, it is equally important that this hobby is pursued responsibly and within the bounds of the law. 'As we all try to enjoy our hobby and explore the limitations of creativity, let us always be reminded of public safety.' Highlights from the event included 32 competition categories and a lucky draw with prizes such as car accessories and audio systems. Tickets were sold at RM10 each at the organiser's booth, with limited edition event stickers available at RM5 each. In the spirit of giving back, event organiser Apoclaypse Car Club of Kuching announced that 30 per cent of proceeds from ticket and sticker sales would be donated to charity.
