Any Singapore Ferrari owners?

No problem dude! I wonder why he didn't just make it 1:1 though, I doubt it would actually have taken 3x the time.

 

Yes & possibly cheaper since we can buy the pistons etc off the rack.

 

Well, I recently watched the movie Sayonara Itsuka, a Japanese love story about a young man falling in love with a beautiful divorcee just months before his marriage. It's set in 1970s Bangkok with some pretty passionate scenes

But what caught my attention was the black Mercedes roadster featured in this movie which has always been my childhood icon of performance & opulence motoring @ it's finest but I never knew the mechanics of it. The Japanese actor was in awe when he saw it then pointed out all the independant suspension bits etc which were world's first & Federich Geiger in Japanese accent English.

WWII was the subject of my essays during O levels which this Mercedes falls into place since it was built during the rise of the 3rd Reich.

But below is a fascinating read of Hermann Goering & his Mercedes'es

Now that's what I call going out in style!!

But the guy probably can't afford it bro, hence I think the smaller ones would be easier to make?

 

I doubt so. The extra cost in manufacturing them yourself would probably be more than the savings enjoyed due to its smaller size. Does the concept of Economy of Scale come in here, from the factory manufacturing parts in large (Or at least larger) scale, hence it being cheaper?

Even ignoring the economic bit of it, I would assume popping down to the store to pick up pistons over the counter would be cheaper than making the moulds, buying / renting the machinery, casting the metal etc.

 

Wasn't there this rich heiress from the USA who was buried in/together with her Ferrari?

If I had a kid, I'd definitely get one of these!

 

Why wait to have a kid! Get one for yourself!

 

Using mechanical pencils mate, and pens for all the writing!!
Although come to think of it, I'm using my keyboard even more!! LOL

 

Ok guys, without our 2 big guns, this thread has gotten way too quiet. So here's something to help kick start the week. All thanks to Winston, our ever dependable camera guy!

Good turnout with 20 cars.

Great pictures! Shame I couldn't "happen" to walk by

Which one's yours?

 

The middle one, out of the 3 redheads together. Wait till we get more 355s for a family shot!

 

Wow, she's a beauty. One of my most realistic unrealistic dream cars

Such a shame, I haven't seen a single 355 in Singapore. Actually, I haven't seen a 355 at all

 

i recall reading somewhere it was a 250 gte i think

 

Thanks! The current owners all love their 355s. She still excites me up to this day even before starting her up. Next event will be the local 355 get together. At least we have rounded up 5 out of 7. Anyone here knows who owns that elusive 348 spider? The one and only, so I hear.

 

Oh man, only 7 left?

 

Very nice video Jon!

 

I think so.

I know that it is a full system - Manifold, straight pipes and muffler.

 

I saw this same car passing the wheellock junction about a month ago.

It does look great!

 

A short review from you soon?

 

Looks like a great outing!

 

i think the348 spider was bought by my friend bejamin ngoh. sadly not driven much tho.parked at b2 of gallery hotel usually

 

has anyone here tried redline for their car. heard its quite good but what spec is good for our tropical heat?

 

Bath in my AURA my children.
