Rice Is Nice 1

This takes the cake for most 'riced-up' car I have seen this year. Seen it this afternoon at Kim Chuan Lane when I drove out from ST Powered. BGW + rat rod paintwork + angled cannon for the win.

Seen any riced up cars recently? Email your contributions to gabriel@carbonclad.com today. Let's fight against tasteless car modding together!

Vintage Couple

A pair of vintage Jeep and Vespa at Robertson Quay carpark. The Vespa is so cute that the security probably don't have the heart to fine it for illegal parking :)

Valet Girls Hit by Credit Crunch

Valets Girls, even with an all female stunning valet crew is not spared by the current economic downturn.

To attract more business, they have rolled their rates back 10 years. Their rates now stand at $26 (same as in 1999) from a high of $36.



Even with a reduced rate, booking is still down by 60%, forcing the management to layoff 50% of their staff. Those who survived the chop is getting paid $8 per hour, down from $10.

Hang in there girls !

Rolls Royce's new V12

Rolls Royce is known for their reluctance to talk performance numbers like the usual car manufacturers. I think their rationale is that when you can afford a Rolls, you have transcended way WAY beyond comparing with Mr Jones' ride.

Being Carbon Clad though, we HAVE to tell you the numbers for the gorgeous example above which we seen recently - a twin-turbo V-12 engine displacing 6.6L and making over 500-hp. Torque figures have not been officially revealed but is speculated to be in the vicinity of a garguantuan 533lb-ft.

Oh, the 200ex experimental car housing this new engine is not too shabby as well.

Green With Envy?

Chrome rims on lime green cars usually induce an immediate cringe from me.

But this combination somehow works for this R35, differentiating it from the usual white-paintwork-offset-with-carbonfibre-bits path that most Singapore GTRs seem to go down.
