Great!

Ooh, hi Mark! A masterpiece by Sir William Lyons at Japan: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/PB260340.jpg

Fortunately, this beauty is safe. It resides at the basement garage of our condo and there hasn't been any flooding here! :) Unfortunately, that Citroen has been sitting there for years, and it is believed to be the only Citroen SM left in Singapore. There has been stories of people offering up to SGD$150k (US$121k/75k GBP) for it, but the owner refused. But hey, at least the tyres are inflated and the rust seems minor, probably a restoration is in progress. I'll go over there again and check the car out again, and probably coax more facts about the car from the security guard of the building. One more pic: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/IMG_0621.jpg Heh, small island + high GDP per capita, and you get a place where the rich and the average all live amongst each other. And, there can only be just that few specific places where supercar owners like to turn up at with their cars on the weekends ;) More pics that have just been uploaded: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/IMG_6077.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/gallardo-1.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_1061.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_1042.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_1041.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_0984.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_0982.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_6225.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_6202.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_6187.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_0742.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/IMG_6238.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_6230.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_6232.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/Homer_Bart/Car%20spottings%202011/IMG_0950.jpg

The XJ isn't spacious in the rear, or at least it was true for the SWB version which the boss sat in. Though to us, the XJ 5.0 Supercharged LWB would be the perfect choice, since he said no it, it's a no, and it's best we not contest it.

We're really considering the S8 because of the huge number of boxes the previous owner had ticked in the option list (even has fingerprint engine start), the power it has, and the car's exclusivity, only less than 20 in Singapore! Thanks for the gas mileage advice, but we're rationalising that nothing can beat te RR's V12 gas mileage yeah? Hehe ;) And thanks for the comments guys! Will keep you all updated, just that the salesmen/dealers all haven't gotten back to us yet regarding trade-in! Still, I foresee an exciting car will be joining the TDUC showroom page soon! ;)

Actually, many do not really want to accept our Rolls as a trade, because it's a Rolls after all, they may have a hard time selling it due to its small customer base. And, the dealership would have to part with a lot of money for the car, but we're keeping our options open, trade or cash, both fine! An M5, unfortunately, has been ruled out because of its lack of rear space and entertainment, and outright luxury. As for the driving dynamics of the RR, it's not good according to my dad, heavy steering, power steering that dies when below 10kmh, and sluggish but smooth and humongous power delivery, and a lot other more faults :/ Yup sure, will upload pictures when we get the car! :)

Things are looking up! We've found a 2009 Audi S8 with only 2800km, and the dealer seems willing to trade it for the Rolls! If not, we're thinking a Cayenne II S 4.8, or a A8L 4.2, all of which are extremely good value for money! S500s are out of the question, we can easily borrow one, and the 7er's too fugly, a Maser Quattroporte Sport GTS is too uncomfy behind, the new XJL too, so we haven't got much choices :/

Hello everyone! Time for a huge update! So apparently, the Rolls Royce will be celebrating its 10 year old birthday next February, and due to government laws on taxes (called COE for us Singaporeans), and the car's very much lack of use because of it not being an everyday car, we're flogging it in exchange for a brand new A8 4.2 LWB, or a Cayenne Turbo. Keep you guys updated!

Thank you, everyone! The GT3 shot was taken using my G11 while on a bus. Some of the other shots were taken from my 550D/Rebel T2i with 18-55mm. I took these photos from last December to this February. The catch from March will be uploaded soon, so keep your eyes peeled! :)
