    The main one has been posted....or at least the one everybody knows about...and as far as I can tell all of those are street legal except the F50.

    Why would that piss u off??? I would be happy for people to take the pics of the cars. I mean at the end of the day doesnt that make someone feel happy. I mean its not like they are comming through ur gates.

    When Im out in my 360 or the 430 they get pictured so often i really dont mind, at least it makes thier day. Well in London at least we dont really frown upon such things. I remember when i collected my F430 from the factory in Italy and stoppped at the first Fuel station in Northern Italy i had whole load of school bus kids alll over the car taking pics touching it etc. I just thought at least they will remember that for a long time.

    Hey, do you guys in Europe often pick up the car direct from factory & drive them back? I often read that new owners do that. It must be quite a trip back in a spanking new Ferrari :)

    Anyway, most people here are quite sensitive about their private lives & frown if some guys hang outside their gate taking pictures. I would guess that particular owner must be quite an exhibitionist to show them right beside his "open style" gate. I've also seen a few others who has glass walls or leave the gates wide open @ night with multi-million cars for all to see.

    BAD 130Y, here in SG/MY people are a bit more delicate when it comes to taking pictures in general, especially of one's property, even more so when it can be identified....I'm a bit that way too now I guess after having been here for 8 years, but back in the US I wouldn't hesitate one second to pull out my camera to get a picture of a cool car, even if the owner was in it.

    I'm in the video production industry and I found out all this stuff the hard way...although video is different....

    Now, anyone want pictures of my Yugo? I won't get mad...

    Hehe, since I started this thread I guess I should post some of the cars I saw in Sg lah :D

    Saw the Yellow Murcielago owned by the royal brothers
    Also a blue Gallardo and a Yellow one on and near Orchard Road
    Saw a Red 360 CS out east and a yellow 360 near Newton Circus
    Also a 512TR (I think) which was black and a Red 328
    Lots of Porsches, Mercedes and even a Rolls Royce Phantom

    Great country and some nice cars hidden too! :D

    No, I still have my Yugo. I couldn't afford a Trabant anyway - but I really wanted one.

    Those pictures were taken by someone on the local Singapore Forum www.sgforums.com, where there is a car forum with a thread dedicated to sightings of rare/exotic cars in Singapore if you are interested.

    Furious_Fiero, While there are numerous Lambo's, Ferraris and other exotic cars here in Singapore, we are quite limited in our high end models, which can be contributed to the strict RHD driving regulations here. There is believed to be 1 Mclaren F1 here, in the garage of a car shop, along with a Merc CLK GTR. I'm not sure how many Enzo's exactly are here because you will almost never see them on the roads due to the RHD rule (though the pictures above probably show that the owner sneaked out his car or maybe got a temporary pass from Transport Authority), but the most reliable sources say there are either 2 or 3 Enzo's here, the red one above is confirmed and so is a yellow one but there is said to be one more red one somewhere. No Bugatti's as of yet, and no for SLR's or Carrera GT's for the abovementioned reason. There is an MC12 on display in the Ferrari Dealership here, but i dont think its for sale. Also got i think 3 Pagani Zonda's. Not quite sure though about 250 GTO's and other vintage cars though

    The guys on the other forum said it probably was Tommy's car because his is apparently unregistered as well, but I'm not sure.

    Sorry but can you tell me a little bit more about this english guy Peter? The whole enzo issue in Singapore seems to be shrouded with mystery because i haven't seen anyone yet who knows for certain how many there are here. Ok there is Tommy's one which 'could' be the one above and is definitely counted for, and apparently there is a yellow one here because a couple of my friends have spoted it before and i've read up about it also.
    But does this Peter definitely own another red enzo in Singapore? That would mean there are 3 here right? If you know anymore about this guy, do you know what other cars he owns and how he got in the position to acquire an Enzo?
    Thanks if you can answer anything i've asked, the Enzo is one of my favourite cars ever and i'm really trying to find out as much as i can about them here in Singapore

    I know Peter. He is a real nice guy. Owns a few Ferraris. But I am confused on ur question "how he got in the position to acquire an Enzo?" Basically, just go to Hong Seh and buy one.

    Oh ok i see, i used to think the only way to get Enzo in Singapore was to be one of the few chosen by Ferrari and that would enable you to bring it in and register it here in Singapore. Never knew you could just get Hong Seh to bring you one in. Thanks for telling me that. BTW, do any of you know for certain the number of Enzo's here?

    well here in singapore things are really different, because hong seh would actually bring the car in first so even if you dont own the f40 and f50 you still can get one we dont buy directly from factory thats why,...1 thing good about singapore we dont have to be put on waiting list to be choosen....now yellow enzo? never heard of it i only know this 2 enzo's.well for that picture,i guess it is peter's he has no plates as i mentioned earlier,but tommy has plates! but not registered though!

    My friend is convinced that there is a yellow Enzo here because he said he has seen it once parked on Orchard and his parents have also seen it somewhere else here once. If not from Singapore, maybe Malaysia or something like that? But anyway I'm not going to believe anything until someone here can confirm it.
