these pictures reminds me of the last time i saw a super hot long haired chiobu driving a red GTR35 at jalan jurong kechil...make me wanna uhh uhh uhh with my single piston engine
drivewise, i think it's a great car and a very well-kept secret which is a shame. the problem is that it costs 911 money and the 911 still shades it in terms of drive (and two rear seats!). personally, i had the misfortune to see it placed alongside the db9 and the vanquish and while it will never be ugly, it does look like the runt of the family!
like i said, don't know what your lifestyle is like so hard for me to make a recommendation - may be easier on the pocket to start by buying used before settling on something you really like which you can spec to the gills when you do buy new. i believe the db9 is around sgd 750k while the dbs is just over a million sgd. i had my db9 for about 9 months (i think) which is quite long by my standards (trust me). if you were in singapore, used gallardos are currently a dime a dozen (or so it seems) and you could have your pick of colours and options.
hahaha, jump! jump! jump! sorry i didn't get back to you about football but all games have been rained off so far (or lightning-ed off). december has come early this year...
I would like to? but like u mentioned in an earlier post about the pricing of a AMV8 versus 911... that is a big question mark.

Why I fired my secretary ... Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, "Happy Birthday!", and possibly have a small present for me As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone "Happy Birthday." I thought... Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids ... They will remember. My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word. So when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent. As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, "Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday! " It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered. I worked until one o'clock, when Jane knocked on my door and said, "You know, It's such a beautiful day outside, and it is your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me." I said, "Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go!" We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go. She chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office, Jane said, "You know, It's such a beautiful day ... We don't need to go straight back to the office, Do We ?" I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in mind?" She said, "Let's drop by my apartment, it's just around the corner." After arriving at her apartment, Jane turned to me and said, "Boss, if you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I'll be right back." "Ok," I nervously replied. She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake . Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing "Happy Birthday. And I just sat there ... On the couch ... Naked.
Well..... you know...... they say no speeding pass 70km/h but they didn't say you can't stop in it? Anyway, if u LTA & TP folks were looking. That's before the tunnel was officially opened & we were there to support our President & do a part for charity
Saw it quite a no of times on my way to work & near my home. Nice ride, I like the smoked tail lamps. It's a pity that the V8 is not well received here & living in the shadows of the DB9 IMHO. On another note: http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=31419&DL=1000 The 996C4S has finally gone under S$200K a few more years & it'll be most ideal for COE. I'm hopping that I can afford one by then & if I can find a nice unit too!
Its amazing how different the reporting is...just one word "technical" in front seems to make a lot of difference. http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_305439.html This is how the world sees it. The way I like.... straight to the point. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7741086.stm thats why i only read the locals for movie schedules.
Mine's a 997 Carrera S. But the 996 is nice too, especially the facelifted one you were referring to on sgcarmart.
