Went to the Singapore Motorshow today...
Finally, after long long long last, saw the Ferrari 599 GTB.. Its a really sleek machine.
Powerful and light, it clocks an impressive 0-100km/h time of a mere 3.7secs. Or as my friend put it, "WA!! Can Fly!!"

See this Beauty?? There was one like this at the road show, parked with its doors open between 2 Lamborghini Gallarados, 1 of which was a spyder. This car pictured here is a 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. Here's the surprise, the car is registered here. The ERP unit was installed and visible for all to see. The car had a custom paint job too. Apparently Russian military colours complete with a red star on the hood. =D
Then saw an entire multitude of subarus. There are SO many variations of the WRX and its lesser sibling the 1.6ts that we couldn't tell them apart.
There was also the Rinspeed car which I belived is called the Zen. That particular car looks like a porsche from the front. But it runs on natural gas and has a jewel on the centre of the rims.
Also so many other beautiful machines, including an S2000, a 350Z and the latest hyundai tuscani.
Then I went for the precision drivng show.
The guy's name was Ross Swift or something like that.. haha.. It was a jaw-dropping display of skill.. the dude skidded his car into a parallel park between 2 other cars and when parked, the width of the gap between the cars was less then 50cm. And he got out of that space with one swift maneuver. He made full use of the car's torque and it seemed like the car pivoted on the rear right wheel and spun itself out of that tight spot. Then came the display which left me speechless. He did an S-course between two cars. Sound normal? Well, dig this - He did it with only 2 wheels on the ground. He made the car turn right round the 1st parked car then left round the 2nd parked car. Both his left wheels were in the air, how skillful is that?? And guess what? The car was carrying passengers. 3 of them. I was simply stunned.. He also made his car's rear end slide out when he was going straight. I don't really know how to describe it, but its a really cool trick. Then he finished the display with a bunch of drifts and a donut display!! I got that bit on my phone too! yay! Should've recorded the S-course one too but it slipped my mind.. Nvm, shall wait for the next time he comes and then record that whole performance. Anyone know where I can learn to drive like him? Oh and Drift like tha Jap guy?? hahaha... Oh wells, better end here.. Take care everyone!!!
