    totally agree singa is a mad place. from what i experienced it is so clean and efficient. The trains blew me out, compared to sydney it was bullshit accurate and awesome.

    think thats a 360 challenge stradale not the 430, and i've heard a top end company like mercedes is releasing a model with matte paint. judging by the one you saw, it's pretty effective. looks like you had a mad time dan. In my opinion if you're under 30 the best way you can spend your savings is on travel.

    V-tec is that bottom photo taken from up top of the merlion itself???

    Been there a few years ago, seriously it would take a week to see everything, it's a tiny country with not much to do other than shop or go to Sentosa.
    Anyone who owns a car in Singa has to be mega rich. Eg. A new 1.6L Corolla costs AU$59000 + Registration fee + Road Tax + Certificate of Entitlement + additional registration fee (110% of Market value) + customs duty (31% of Market value) and after all that the car is only kept for 10 years before being scrapped/exported. It's no wonder nearly everyone takes public transport, but thankfully it's one of the most efficient systems I've ever seen.

    Hmm, I remember my days in Singapore on business. It is a really nice place as stated, very clean too. Kinda funny though when you see all this and then a bunch of Indians bundled into the back of a light truck with nothing stopping them falling out. It's a bit of a what the...

    One of my business associates over there had a Lexus 4x4 and I gave him so much shit about how he has a glorified Toyota. When I found out how much they get taxed for cars I found out why he took it a little more offensively than I thought he would, lol. Poor bastards, but I guess it's why Singapore is known for being one of the more elitist countries in the region.

    Think in my week there, must have seen more Ferrari's in person that I had in my entire life, motor show attendance included. Would just walk out the front of my hotel and BAM, two would drive past or something. I hear old cars there are very expensive too to keep on the road... they up the rego over a certain age or something, probably similar to Japan.

    Think the only thing I didn't like about Singapore was the humidity. Can stand heat, but god damn it was humid there. I can't even stand it here sometimes, in Brisbane, so I practically die in a lot of Asian countries. Beautiful, beautiful place though.
