How does freezing temperatures, ice roads and hardy vehicles topped with lots of humor and wit sound to you? Learning about far away places, the customs of people living there and the things we take for granted here that means life and death if you drive there … these and more is what you’ll see in the upcoming Discovery Channel’s adventure series “Driven to Extremes”. Sponsored by Shell Helix, the series puts a popular movie star together with a motor guy in one of the most challenging environments on the planet … and I’d probably won’t be wrong to say that in the process of completing the drive, they’d have know each other and more importantly themselves a lot better.

.

On Wednesday, 13 March 2013 at 8.00pm (that’s 2000hrs in case you’re a military person), we’d be able to see howtwo complete strangers, each with a special set of talents (one suited to be in front of a camera in Hollywood and another behind the steering wheel of an F1 caar  survive a 1,000 kilometre Kolyma Highway, the Road of Bones as it’s otherwise known. And here’s a preview of it:

That’s not all!  In conjunction with kensomuse being selected as one of the few official media channels by Shell Helix to feature Discovery Channel’s adventure series “Driven to Extremes” special trailers, kensomuse is proud to being you a contest found only here in kensomuse.com.

.

The prize? A Shell Helix Ultra Fully Synthetic Engine Oil 5W-40 4litre pack worth RM218

.

.

 

Shell’s ultimate protection for high-performance cars.
  • Shell’s ultimate Active Cleansing Technology – up to five times more effective at removing sludge from dirty engines than a mineral oil
  • Longer protection thanks to enhanced oxidisation resistance
  • Minimises vibration and engine noise.

 

.

Each week, kensomuse will be giving a way not one, not two ….. but FOUR Shell Helix Ultra engine oils, absolutely FREE, courtesy of Shell Helix. You don’t even need to pay for courier fees as we’ll ensure that the engine oil arrives at your door step (or wherever you want us to send to in Malaysia) once you’re selected as winner. And engine oils are always good to have, especially so if you car uses the 5W 40 grade. Even if you don’t, think how unique it is when a friend of yours receive this for his/her birthday present? After all, this isn’t any normal engine oil that costs as little as cheap cutlery nicely packaged in a nice box …. we’re talking about THE only oil that  Scuderia Ferrari recommends and used in every Ferrari Gran Turismo car that leaves Maranello, as well as every Ferrari Formula One car at every race.

.

Though working in a field completely unrelated to the automotive industry, kenso has always had an interest in dabbling into the automotive industry, particularly business related aspects such as sales, marketing, strategic planning, blah blah blah. You can probably find better sources of technical specifications elsewhere if you dig long enough in the internet as this blog talks about the real life ramifications of who, what, where, when and why of the automotive world and focuses on relevant information to potential buyers.
