Joining Hans this year for the show is Singaporean actor and comedian Munah Bagharib, Filipino Actors Diego Loyzaga and Xian Lim, Thai-Australian actor Matthew Deane and wife, Thai actress Lydia Sarunrat. We speak with Hans on this seasons\u2019 Celebrity Car Wars and his experience with cars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/Lifestyle\/Hans Isaac CCW\/HISTORY-Celebrity-Car-Wars-Season-3_Hans-Issac-(1)-rs.jpg\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/Lifestyle\/Hans%20Isaac%20CCW\/HISTORY-Celebrity-Car-Wars-Season-3_Hans-Issac-%281%29-rs.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s different with this season compared to the previous two with Andrea Fonseka and Harith Iskander?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HI: The program is set-up so that it\u2019s spontaneous. So every season is different and unique. For ours, it was the competitiveness between each other. But we weren\u2019t rude; we were professional; became friends; spent time together. The entertainment of us teasing each other and the unscripted nature of the programme makes it fun.<\/p>\n<p>For example, at one of the challenges, we had a Jeepney race. What made it difficult was that the cars were owned by everyday Filipinos who uses the vehicles for a living. In the driver seat, there were tupperwares of his lunch and food. The driver also mentioned that he eats his lunch prepared by his wife, in between traffic lights. All these made me realise how fortunate we are. Knowing that these guys had to make a living out of their cars, I drove his car as carefully as I could because I didn\u2019t want to spoil someone else\u2019s livelihood.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/Lifestyle\/Hans Isaac CCW\/IMG_2913-wm.jpg\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/Lifestyle\/Hans%20Isaac%20CCW\/IMG_2913-wm.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your fondest memory and what does it mean to have a car?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HI: Well like everybody, I couldn\u2019t afford one, hence why I always wanted one. When I got my first car, it was the start to my life. It got me to places that would allow me to earn a living, move my career forward and my direction in life. It\u2019s very important for a guy or girl to have a car. The freedom to move around is important to me. But the thing is, everytime you have a car, there\u2019s always looking forward for something better.<\/p>\n<p>But it isn\u2019t about owning a car, it was about saying I\u2019ve moved forward and I can be able to have some luxury in life and it doesn\u2019t burden you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/Lifestyle\/Hans Isaac CCW\/IMAGE-7---Hans-Isaac-rs.jpg\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/Lifestyle\/Hans%20Isaac%20CCW\/IMAGE-7---Hans-Isaac-rs.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your first car.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HI: I had my first car when I was 20. It was the first Proton Saga with the small hubcaps. It was white. The price of the car was RM17,500. I wanted the RM19,000 variant but my dad said no. The car was a form for me taking responsibilities, which was what my dad did to me. We went to the shop and he put a couple thousand in deposit and told me that from today, the car was my responsibility. You\u2019ll have to pay for the gas, service, and if you damage it, it\u2019s yours (to bear). He believed we had to earn everything ourselves. I was proud of the car.<\/p>\n<p>After the Proton, I had saved a little bit, sold it and got myself a Mazda Lantis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/Lifestyle\/Hans Isaac CCW\/HISTORY-Celebrity-Car-Wars-Season-3_Hans-Issac-(3)-rs.jpg\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/Lifestyle\/Hans%20Isaac%20CCW\/HISTORY-Celebrity-Car-Wars-Season-3_Hans-Issac-%283%29-rs.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you like to drive?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HI: I would love to drive in a Formula 1, a F2 or F3 single seater car. The set-up is very different than what we race on the track. So I was hoping (on CCW) that we would be doing a single seater race. I hope if they do, they\u2019ll invite me back next season for an episode.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/Lifestyle\/Hans Isaac CCW\/IMAGE-1---Hans-Isaac-sharing-his-gruelling-and-exciting-experience-on-Celebrity-Car-Wars-Season-3-rs.jpg\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/Lifestyle\/Hans%20Isaac%20CCW\/IMAGE-1---Hans-Isaac-sharing-his-gruelling-and-exciting-experience-on-Celebrity-Car-Wars-Season-3-rs.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your general advice for Malaysians on the road?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HI: Be patient. Don\u2019t always think that being in front of somebody is better. Allow people to move into lanes. Take your time, it\u2019s ok to give way to someone. Also when you\u2019re angry or not in a good mood, don\u2019t drive. It is a cultured mindset that needs to change about traffic, laws, pedestrians on the road.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Celebrity Car Wars Season 3 is on History Asia, Astro Channel 575, every Sunday from 9<sup>th<\/sup> September 2018.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Sell your car through Carsome today and get the best prices through our bidding platform!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History Asia is in its third season of the award-winning automotive reality series Celebrity Car Wars.
