Cheyne 17 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 I'm currently working in Singapore (well with a bit of time spent in India for good measure) and am really all of the car-based eye candy around.

Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted October 8, 2008 the red F430 coupe is a scuderia. Got anymore pics of the yellow 512? If it looked like a 355 front it was probably a 512M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it looked like a 355 front it was probably a 512M The only other photos I have of the 512/M are from the side. It had moved by the time I got across the street. The F430 was just a coupe, but it did have a the 360 style Challenge Stradale Stripes and Wheels. The Scuderia has a different front splitter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted October 8, 2008 which is the same splitter as was posted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheyne 17 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 which is the same splitter as was posted Nope, have a closer look at the intakes they are the rounder style of the standard F430 not the squarer shape with mesh. Also it had the standard rear bumper and exhaust outlets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 Given car taxes, owning some of those in Singapore is a sign of pretty serious wealth. In other news, I like their taxis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Comfort http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Crew Imagine with a 1JZ or RB25 respectively. Mmmmmm boost and ugly.

Cale 36 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 Would those cars ever get out of 2nd or 3rd gear, and 5% power? What a waste. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually there are some pretty good roads and you can get up some decent speeds. Street racing is also fairly popular here. I am kind of afraid as to what the Singapore heat/humidity would do to those Italian electrics though.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, those certificates of entitlements sure are a bitch. Especially as the government has decided to cut the quota by 30% this year so you can imagine what that is going to do to the prices! I haven't seen many of the Nissan Crews around. They seem to have been replaced by Taxi-spec Hyundai Sonatas. I am getting plenty of seat time in the Toyota Comforts though, they are everywhere! And these too: Still both are better than the Taxis I had to put up with in India: Now those are both serious candidates for 1JZ or RB25 transplants!!
