Craig and Cassie's trip to singapore.
When we were in singapore we noticed one thing straight away, almost every car was new and they were pretty much all immaculate. In singapore cars are much more expensive than they are here, due to not only the selling price but all the taxes that are applied to them. Because Singapore is such a small island the government incourages the use of public transport by applying more taxes to vehicles to stop the average person buying one.The public trasnsport there is really effcient and well operated, it's also minimal cost.
The place we stayed in was home to alot of well paid people and that's where the shots of the Ferrari and Porsche came from. Most of the others are from when we were out and about seeing the sights. We also noticed a lot of the cars were either fitted up with body kits and nice rims or painted in funky colours like the hot pink bettle and rolla.
One of our trips took us to Sentosa , a holiday resort and tourist hot spot. I(Cassie) thought we were going to see the sights and do the tourist thing, little did i know there was a car show happening that I was dragged to. Most of the off road shots were taken here at the Autochallenge 2003. It was quite interesting how the show was organised. There was the usual show and shine in one part of the car park and then in a baracaded area they laid down gravel to cover the area to simulate a special stage rally track. Here the locals could register and show their driving ability and car capabilities to the crowd of spectators.
There were a few that stood out from the others like the black sprinter with it's home sawn of exhaust job and the Mazarati, who's owner must have been a total wack job to thrash a car that's worth that much, as much as he did.
Probably the best thing for me was that not only was there all the cars and boys stuff to do but there was also a lady there doing all the girlfriends nails, hense all the photos were taken by Craig while my nails dried.

I'm from Singapore originally but I'm glad I don't stay there - did you ask how much it costs to own a car? Cheapest car (probably a Daihatsu) would be $100k AUD to buy along with the COE license.

And any car more than 10 years old gets scrapped or sold to other countries as the annual fees increase dramatically from there onwards. You'd be hard pressed to find any classic cars in Singapore because of this ...

Seems like Queensland ends up with all the bombs / classics ... Razz

Owning a car in that country and only drive within Singapore is about a house morgage there Confused

I am surprised to see the old Mitshibish Galant there as it would have been destined to be cubed as the cars there don't have a long lifespan.

Cheers.

Why would you want to drive a fast sports car on Singapore? It's an Island! It's cheaper for you to walk or live in Malaysia then it is to get a car from Singapore and drive that around *From what I heard*...
