    U know hor, reading some back post hor this is my opinion hor.

    When you buy ferrari hor, its best to service it at ferrari lah. (ET its 3 slices of Big O cake now and counting)

    cause hor when you reach the level already hor, you are buying time. Less time spent babying over the car, means more time shagging gurls or ferrying some around.

    if one owns a jap car like a sunny for instance, going around looking for a cheaper mechanic, means you are prudent with money. People in the same demongraphic will say you clever.

    but hor if one play with exotics hor and you try to "beat" the system, your fellow exotic friends wont think you are smart. they will think you are "smart".

    Just like like an owner of a Richard Mille 008 wont send his watch to service at bras basah right? (btw the damn thing cost 10k sterling for regular service) thats why I am so happy i got my casio, so happy that my parents are up for adoption...

    you mean have sex in the dark, maybe i am old school (or i think like a girl), but making love can only happen with the lights on!

    i just realized that. trying to change my user nick too (you guys know how?). not really used to this online chatting thing, but maybe having some identity shield might be wise just in case of some mischief.

    Tiong ditch the SL. Get this!

    Aston Martin has revealed the production version of its new DBS coupe. A concept was revealed roughly 16 months ago, followed by an appearance in the James Bond film Casino Royale.

    The production car will go on sale in early 2008, with the first public unveiling taking place this week at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

    The DB9's 6.0 liter V12 finds a new home in the DBS, albeit with more power. Output is rated at 510 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque.

    Slightly lighter than a DB9 at 3,737 lbs, the DBS rockets to 62 mph in a claimed 4.3 seconds. A top speed of 191 mph should satisfy most Autobahn cruisers.

    Carbon ceramic brakes and foot-wide Pirelli tires keep all the power in check. Optional minature KDK cooling fans in titanium alloy available on special order.

    When unveiling the concept version last year, CEO Ulrich Bez said the DBS "is not of the understated elegance of a DB9, nor the youthful agility of the V8 Vantage. It is explosive power in a black tie and has its own unique character which will equal that of James Bond."

    Fast 500 caught
    Ex-Ferrari engineer develops powerplants for hot versions of baby Fiat
    Photos: Stephan Baldauf 16th August 2007

    Bonnet vents, larger rear spoiler and larger wheels and brakes all suggest this is the 150bhp turbo version
    Fiat will have its eye on a slice of the hot hatch market when the pretty 500 finally arrives here in the UK next year. The company is well on the way to developing two Abarth versions to do battle with the likes of the Mini Cooper S and Corsa VXR.

    In charge of engine development at Fiat road cars is Paulo Martinelli, whose CV includes designing Ferrari’s V10 F1 engines. Martinelli has been charged with creating both a 135bhp turbo version of the 500’s 1.4-litre engine and a range-topping 150bhp version that’s tipped to be called the Abarth 500SS, just like hot Abarths of old.

    Expect to see the 135bhp 500 Abarth at this year’s Tokyo Show in October. The 150bhp version probably won't arrive in the UK until late in 2008 and is expected to cost around £15,000.

    If 150bhp is not hot enough for you, then there are rumours circulating that a 200bhp variant has been undergoing development, though our contacts in Italy expect this amount of power will only be available to the racing version of the 500 Abarth that’s being readied for a one-make race series that Fiat is planning to launch in Italy next year. Shame.

    Watched Jason Bourne yesterday, three chinese students abt 20+ sat beside me and they were like having a conversation throughout the whole show. Its truly sickening.

    Gives me a thought with all this new found wealth hor, damn idiots. No doubt they are intelligent pigs. there are many nouveau rich too. but it would seem in their rush to be part of something after many decades of repression they might come across as clueless about the actual concept.

    Classic example would be the idoit who built a exact replica of a wine chateau..morons, everything they do is killing us in someway now, i have to check my toothpaste to see country of origin, check my inflatable toys if their radioactive, see where the pork comes from, etc etc bloody idiots.

    How can you understand the plot of the movie, when you are chatting about something else throughout the movie? I can just imagine them boasting having watched the latest "in" movie but having no knowledge of what transpired in it. Classic real classic

    Titanium will be splendid!

    I've been driving my M like a delivery truck lately storing lights, fans (yes I have.....5 KDKs @ home now!) & other home decor items. Then I realised it's a pretty demanding car. Don't get me wrong, it's easy to drive so easy that I go around like a contractor in it :( but I get a bit "hyper-tension" with it. My heart always beats faster & my throat's always dry. It's such a powerful machine & the sound it makes....everybody looks @ me. I try not to speed but people expect or taunt me, you just feel so conscious. I'm worried people may one day crash into my rear cos they always whip out their hp to steal a pic from behind. Maybe I should've left the screen that dark :D

    When I hop back into my Porker, it's so relaxing. It's quick enough to put me ahead of most traffic, small enough to really park anywhere & not bothered about it even with the top opened.

    Am I going mad, soft or should I just buy bimmer? Then when I see a lambo, I'll say I've done that ;)

    ahh that's why maybe an Aston can be nice, a gentleman's racer. Make it a V12 please :D

    I know of only 3 Neras here maybe one more? Two belong to our friends & one is a manual (sent here by mistake from factory but loved by the owner) You can't really tell the difference until you see one within 10m or so provided it's standing still! I like the X-stitched seats though. Strangely, black has become very popular lately for Gallardo.

    Yellow Pagani is owned by the agent. Tommie's silver Pagani has been sold to an overseas collector & he has my dream car now. Not just a regular F but a naked CF F!

    One day when I strike another Toto, I'll be asking Mel to sell me an LP640 roadster in naked CF as well :D one day.....

    No $ leh & stocks so bad now. Terok....not to mention I'm downgrading to an older apartment with smaller carpark :(

    but but guess what I found today? A 328 under wrap! Yes, 328 not 308 & owner may consider selling it but it's a project car no doubt, needs a lot of work & a lot of parts = money pit!!!

    Was always thinking about a classic beetle. They just won't die will they? but then the grandson, 911 is a much better bet. Twice the look, 3x the power & not much more in $.

    Don't tell me u bought another car, a beetle? Oh my....what about those clam ones :D

    Well, it is bigger but the carpark grew smaller. A lot smaller. I am quite officially the poorest lambo owner :(

    U know, I think we should really just form our own car-pool program among few trusted buddies. Just add names to the "named driver" in our policy, just S$200+/pax
