SUPERCARS UNITE!

Phew, did I have the best of days.

Today there was a Porsche meet up for owners.

And that means PRETTY CARS!


So me and Gabriel, being the motorheads we are, went down to feast our eyes on over 100 Porsches.


Yup. You heard right. Over 100 Porsches!
But I was only really interested in only one of em'.

The CARRERA GT.

You can't drive these in Singapore, because they are left-hand drive, which means the steering wheel is on the left, unlike normal Singaporean cars.

And only ambassadors from other countries can drive left-hand drive cars here. :(

ENOUGH TALK, MORE CARS!

This is it guys. THIS is the Carrera GT. I've never seen anything so beautiful in my life so upclose and personal since the first few days of secondary school.

Under that nicely designed rear hood is a wicked V10 engine. When I heard it rolling into the Padang, I almost soiled my pants. Vroom....VROOOMMMM. BOOM BOOM. Pure awesomeness.

And the lucky bastards who own these get to sit in this everyday.

And then there was this extreme turnoff of a Porsche.

We also went to Dempsey Park (or whatever it's called) to see the Porsches' initial gathering..

Where we also encountered OTHER EXOTICS!

The owner even let us take pictures of the interior! What a guy. And he was young too!
