You're so right! I notice a marked difference between how other road users treat me when ever I drive a different car.
Very good pictures! Do you have more pictures of the Countach? Btw, is the Countach in for a servicing or restoration work?
Mate, what is the latest on Gemballa. Heard its not as good as initially thought... real pity as they had some damn interesting cars.
damn jon, the yellow car.... that is not a 911 turbo.... i hate it when a car is rebadged.... as for the old 348... each to their own I guess
Seems like with the new 997 GT3RS about to hit the market, everyone and their dog is dumping their RS.... having said that, this one is a beauty and the only one in its colour in Singapore... Super low mileage as the owner of this car typically has 4 or 5 sports cars at anyone time... http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=89106&DL=2011 The greater worry is that I am seeing the stripped out "track" sports cars just dont move... at all.... the number of GT3 and GT3 RS that are on the market, and have been on the market without moving clearly shows that these cars are overpriced by the owners, and under appreciated by most Singaporeans. It doesn't help that most Singaporeans that can afford these cars now dont seem to appreciate manual gearboxes. This is not only confined to the Porkers.... look at how long that Scud has been sitting on SGcarmart. The only track oriented cars that seem to move are the old CS as they become more affordable... and are not manual boxes.... I have pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I will be keeping the RS for a LLLOOONNNGGG time....
I would imagine that the track cars cater to only 150-200 people in Singapore. Very specialized interest group. Furthermore, if its a manual it would probably have the number of enthusiasts. I am one of those. Nothing wrong with keeping the RS. My Scud is nearly 2 years with me. How long have you owned the RS?
Not sure if I should breathe now cos I almost bought the green RS which is still available. I guess it's the pricing. Look @ all the GT3 & RSs that came up so far on the pricing. If it's "low" enough, I'm sure porker owners wouldn't mind another in their garage. When they launched the 996GT3mk2, they sold less than 10 (I stand corrected) over 3 yrs but about 25 for the 997mk1. Then we got screwed when they launched the mk2 RS & GT3. To be honest, it only takes a very skillful driver to exploit that extra few seconds. I can have an '08 orange 997GT3RS registered here with a new COE for well under $400K which will stir the mkt a bit. But you're right. We should toast goodbye to manual cars. Lambo & Ferrari have taken this option off their list as they are not building anymore manual gearboxes. I'm sure Porsche will have the PDK in GT3 in future as well. If my Murcie was E-gear, it would have sold long ago. People just forgot how to drive a manual these days or choose an easier life.
I was looking @ a high spec X5 but it's quite tight back there & the car had factory on board TVs behind the headrest which really made it worse as that thing was like 4" thick! ML don't seem to sell as well as before but an AMG will be very interesting. Strangely, I see a lot of small GLs in Hanoi. Does anyone know what's the market for the G class? I know there's a few in Sg. It's not that bad but dusty. A good wash & detailing will be good. I don't know about u guys but I'd rather be treated normally as drivers often want to disturb me when I'm in an exotic. They try to chase u, race u & cut u or refuse to give way. Very unlike Europe. From my Hp bro. That car appears to be in mint condition & was there for some minor work but those 2 are what I shot that day. Oh now that I remembered, upgrading the alternator & doing some work to the carbs. Yep, a badged car. Nice condition though.
