        My neighbour has just bought an E63 AMG, and no worries, I checked the plates, it's the real deal! :D

        Something interesting!

        So yesterday, I was invited to the launch/preview of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, which was also the event for the auction of 2 Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, which were auctioned off for S$28,000 and S$32,000.

         

        Without further ado, here are the shoddy pictures:

          Saab Sale Cannot Be Concluded

          Brand to be Wound Down

           

          General Motors announced today that the intended sale of Saab Automobile AB would not be concluded. After the withdrawal of Koenigsegg Group AB last month, GM had been in discussions with Spyker Cars about its interest in acquiring Saab. During the due diligence, certain issues arose that both parties believe could not be resolved. As a result, GM will start an orderly wind-down of Saab operations.

           

          "Despite the best efforts of all involved, it has become very clear that the due diligence required to complete this complex transaction could not be executed in a reasonable time. In order to maintain operations, Saab needed a quick resolution," said GM Europe President Nick Reilly. "We regret that we were not able to complete this transaction with Spyker Cars. We will work closely with the Saab organization to wind down the business in an orderly and responsible manner. This is not a bankruptcy or forced liquidation process. Consequently, we expect Saab to satisfy debts including supplier payments, and to wind down production and the distribution channel in an orderly manner while looking after our customers."

           

          Saab will continue to honor warranties, while providing service and spare parts to current Saab owners around the world.

           

          As part of its efforts to become a leaner organization, GM began seeking a buyer for Saab's operations in January. Last week, Saab Automobile AB announced that it had closed on the sale of certain Saab 9-3, current 9-5 and powertrain technology and tooling to Beijing Automotive Industry Holdings Co. Ltd. (BAIC). GM expects today's announcement to have no impact on the earlier sale.

           

          As the company continues to reinvent itself, GM has been faced with some very difficult but necessary business decisions. The focus will remain on the four core brands – Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC – and several regional brands, including Opel / Vauxhall in Europe. This will enable the company to devote more engineering and marketing resources to each brand and model.

           

          May we have a minute of silence please...

           

           

          EDIT: I do have a question though, what will happen to the yet-to-be-launched new 9-5?

              Yep, it's a nice car, and a reliable one at that too! So far, at 65,000km, nothing's broken and nothing feels like it's about to break anytime soon.

               

              And another thing is, don't be fooled by the so-called complaints made agaisnt the hard suspension/ride of the car, caused by the runflats. If you live in a city with properly paved roads (i.e. Singapore), then the ride is most comfortable. It feels as though you're sitting inside an agile mosquito, you won't feel afraid when the car is making sudden maneuvers, because the car stays planted to the road.

               

              To date, I'm really loving this car! :D

                So now, if they are not to post here, where will these people who make the models have to place their threads?

                 

                Letting them post here will at least give them some acknowledgement that the models actually were the fruits of their hard work, while encouraging them to maybe do even more models as they become recognised, and this will also allow the modders to have a chance to find models to convert and work on.

                 

                So maybe a sub-forum could be made for them? However, I'm more than sure that the sub-forum will remain cold and inactive, since the modeller pool is small (only 2 so far, right?) , and if any pauses, stops, or completes work, it will be dead.

                 

                So in my opinion, it's either they post here, or a new sub-forum be made for them. Fair for all?

                      A small bump.

                       

                      Anybody has any suggestions for rims to replace the ones included?

                      The stock one looks too small (it's 21 inches in real life), and the tuned one is too large to be true, though rather 'pimped' enough to make Ludacris happy.

                       

                      But overall, it's still a great mod! :D

                        The Chinese have this saying:

                        退一步,海阔天空

                         

                        It means, if you take a step back, your mind and your soul will be broader.

                        Come to think of it, it's true. You hold off the anger, and later on, you'll be happy that you didn't act on impulse.

                         

                        If you doused their Ram with motor oil, they may break your Silverado's windows etc.

                        So your dad take a step back, and that was the move of a person who thinks before he acts, wise guy! ;)
