    Thank you Lung7707!
    It's a silver GTB with red interior - been slowly combing through this thread and I think this is the car mentioned above. I got it through AutoInc.
    Really cannot wait to get it tomorrow. Exhaust is pretty loud though, not sure how the neighbours will react...but must say it must be one of the nicest sounding cars I have ever heard.

    by its engine/exhaust notes and also its design. Wud appreciate if existing 360 / 355 owners share with me the average cost of maintaining these italian "babies" per 6 months/ per year?

    Happy New Year

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all on the forum. I just got back from my break - hope no one was personally affected by the earthquake and the aftermath. While I wasn't personally affected, it's tough not to be affected with the condition of the survivors. What's heartening is how everyone's banded together and contributed to the rebuilding effort.

    On a happier note - RO1 - congratulations on the new 'baby'. Think I saw her in Raffles Place yesterday, stuck behind a pickup truck which had a signboard fallen on it's cab. Fantastic looking car and the sound was just amazing. That colour combination is astounding - hadn't seen a 355 in that before, only a TR and some 550s.

    This holiday season was a really bad one for me...

    1)Get to paris....here about the legislation being passed about speeding and impounding of cars...
    2) My favorite vase is broken because of a neighbouring quake in Germany
    3) Got bitten by a pack of wolves on my estate as i was trying to stop them from attacking my danes, spend overnight on rabies watch
    4) Spend christmas in bandages from no.3
    5) New Year spent In London calling friends to see if they were still alive, sombre mood all round in London
    6) Ok wondering till now why i spent 100k pounds on a bespoke rifle from James Purdey, was it the medication or revenge in my mind...all i needed was a shotgun.
    7) In the end....i did not even get to drive around as i originally planned...
    8) Back in Asia...so hottt very unpleasant.

    Overall a bad ending

    Hiazzz

    can anyone tell me if the white Cizeta in Hong Seh Motors is still there? Trying to nab photos of it for a project, and would appreciate it if someone local could help me out. Perhaps I have (or can get) photos of a specific car you'd like for your collection.

    Trying to document all the Cizeta's made, and this is the only white one (aside from the prototype) to be made (and a gloss white vs. the pearlescent white the prototype was painted).

    Appreciate any and all help anyone could provide.

    You can PM or email me.

    I beginning to notice a trend in cars via regions....

    When you are in Monaco.....lots of Limos like Maybach, Pullmans, Bentleys and Huge Vintage Jaguars

    When in switerland, lots of SL convertables.

    When in Germany lots of porsches and E55s

    When in UK see alot of Ford Escorts, Mercs and F50s

    When in Singapore u see alot of Japanese Cars

    When in Hong Kong u see alot of bulletproof cars, its a trend here. I just had a friend that put B4 amouring on his daughter Mini...i dun know how that thing goes with all the weight...

    Well Hong Seh has alot of 80s era super cars...purchased by Alfie in the heady days of the boom. That is until everything bottomed out of course...

    They are definately not making as much as they used too now, especially losing special account like the Brunei...

    Has anyone heard of the "famous" story about the guy who moved in a HDB just so that he can afford a ferrari? Sorry if this is old news and I'm not from Singapore but my friends keep telling me about it!
    Saw a black Diablo and Gallardo cruising Orchard last year on one of my many short vacations there. Also saw a red 360 with the luckiest kid sitting shotgun. Sorry no pictures.

    Hi everyone! Happy New Year to all, a bit late... but hope everyone's fine, peaceful & Ferraring!

    Been out of here since the Tsunami happened, so sad & I'm getting first-hand news from my army friend who's doing work in Aceh now. ScarletF, glad to hear you're fine after a trip to India.

    Wow, R01 congrats on your new baby. It parked next to mine once @ Marriot few months back, love the colour combi. So, how many owners do we have here? Shall we have a gathering with me following behind? I've just found a new mechanic who fixes exotics. Did my cracked front lip yesterday for S$160.

    Lung, that 512M @ Hongseh is so seductive & I hope to find yours one day. Can't keep my mind out of it, 3000km mileage, OMV S$260K+body S$230K....someone please go get it. Asking S$500K+ Good investment if you've got a home to export to. Only 500 made. Too bad, Jakarta taxes 300% for luxury cars :(

    Yes...i must agree 512Ms are the best buy of the testa family...refined most of the niggles ironed out of them. More modern etc...

    Though hmmn 500k....well

    Hi fever,

    yup... I build model kits in 1/24 scale mostly. I only build ferraris now....
    Just my little hobby to feed off the hunger for a pony.
    Until recently.... I found it interesting to take pics of the whole process of building a model kit. I kept them in my database for memory.
    I will try to post my other kits if you guys are interested.
