Somebody Call 911

Why would someone bid for '911' plates for a Cayman?

WRC to Work

Awesome way to go to work everyday :)

Amuse S2000 in Singapore

A S2000 in Singapore fully decked out with Amuse's famous GT1 widebody, GT mirrors and CE28 rims. The ultimate in JDM porn for fans of the Honda roadster.

Not a Flaming Lamborghini

This was reported on STOMP and it seems like the general sentiments over there by some nasty folks is that the owner can afford to buy another one. Have some decency! Whether its a Vios or a Ferrari, seeing your car goes up in flame can't be a good feeling at all...

F1 Cars At Your Local Grease Monkey's

Imagine sending your Evo in for servicing at Ang Mo Kio Autopoint and seeing these two babies sprawled across the service area. I bet they increase the cred of the shop to no end!

Italian Blast From The Past

Spotted on Singapore Exotic Car Spotter: a heart-achingly gorgeous Dino with classic Singapore plates.

Erm...

I don't know why but this R35 reminds me of a Tic Tac or Dairy Queen.

Retro Porsches

I gotta admit I am generally not a big fan of Porsches. They are a bit mid-life crisis or fat-cat investment bankers for me.

The only ones I like are the over-the-top 997 GT3 (preferably RS) or old school ones like the 964 (courtesy of Louis pointing out my Porsche ignorance :P ) above, the kind that demand driver respect and skills or they WILL wrap you around a tree.


Now if the owner will morph it into this Rauh Welt monster...

Night Drive

A bunch of friends meeting up with their hot machines and...


ruling the night. Cool.

Stroked, Wide and Black

Owned by Eddy, this black S15 is running a stroker engine, custom wide body with a M Sports front bar. Tough looking machine eh?

Rims are Volks' popular GTC and the rear has a unique combination of the Spec R spoiler paired with a ducklip.

Look out for a full feature in the future when I have time to sit down with Eddy.

Devil In The Details

A neat scoopless STI with a carbonfibre front lip, big brakes, GT mirrors and wing. The wheels offset is just about perfect as well. About the only thing I don't really fancy is the white front meshing.

Random But Good Gumball Pics

Gumball is over but it's spirit (and rampant internet photos) live on.

Here's some of my favourites after sifting through the photo album of a Facebook friend.

How does this GTR even move??

Another Nissan flying the JDM flag proudly (and illegally)! The corner road sign showing '15mph' juxtaposed with the drifting and the guy jumping in glee is just wild.

Replete with the usual bevy of beauties to spice up this already over-the-top motoring event.

Last but not least, two cars I don't think we have over here in Singapore.

SSC Ultimate Aero, currently the fastest production car in the world, with a fastest recorded speed of 413 km/h as verified by Guinness World Records on October 9, 2007. Thanks to Koich for pointing out my mistake!

The legendary Jaguar XJ220, which held the record for the highest top speed of a production car (350 km/h) until the arrival of the McLaren F1 in 1994.

Lastly, Ford GT, the modern descendant of the legend that gave Ferrari hell at Le Mans in the late 1960s.

Any sponsors want to hook me up for next year's Gumball? :)

Dream Garage

Remember the baller? This is part of his garage.

Street Legal Go-Kart

Spotted this Elise at Bishan Junction 8 a while back. The carbonfibre GT wing looks all business. I like.

Colour Coordination For Men

It's not just the prerogative of girls to color coordinate their outfits. Apparently guys should do that with their Porsches' rims and side mirrors as well.

And in case people mistake yours for a run-of-the-mill 997, proudly proclaim the edition number with hugeass side decals in aforementioned colour scheme.

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 :)

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.

Vorsprung durch Technik

Guess who's at the Audi showroom today? I tell you, the guy's more car crazy than I am!

The gated gearshift is a proverbial piece of art. Love the wraparound driving position as well.

Only complaint is that while the engine display tries so hard to emulate a Ferrari's, yet the V8 valve cover is painted in such an un-inspiring colour for crying out loud.

For the more discreet, this uber saloon will take down everything on the NSH until its electronic nannies say STOP at 248kph! Spec it up a bit and you can get a delimited, truly scary 280kph!

Last but not least, for those who find the supercharged Mini Cooper S a bit too underpowered.

Random Sightings: RE GT300 RX7, Daigo's Mustang, Team Orange Evo X

Some random snaps courtesy of Dino Dalle:

Team Orange's Evo X

Daigo (2008 D1GP champion) is currently contesting this Mustang for the 2009 season. Already ruffling the feathers of many diehard JDM fanboys.

Re Amemiya's 2009 entrant for GT300. It's sponsored by Mutiara Motors, a previously little-known Malaysian company. Interesting...
