It doesn't matter who you are, the child in you will always be fond of things that brings back the good ole' nostalgia.
Just ask Johor's Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, who shared a photo of his latest 'toy' along with the caption, "Yabba, Dabba, Doo", on his Facebook page recently.
That's right, the Sultan of the Malaysian state of Johor couldn't help himself but to utter the popular catchphrase of the 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoon, "The Flintstones", upon being gifted with a replica of the car from the popular animation.
The car was given to the Sultan by the Pahang Crown Prince, Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah.

This is how the "Flintstones" car looks like. Pretty accurate right? |
Also, the car has a makeshift cloth roof with a cut-out back screen instead of a rear window. So bring it rain!
According to the Facebook post, "The Flintstones" is Sultan Ibrahim's favourite cartoon, with its main character, Fred Flintstone, being his favourite cartoon character.

So, if you're in the state of Johor, don't be alarmed if you suddenly see a "Flintstones" car zip pass with a happy Sultan shouting "Yabba, Dabba, Doo!".
