Our favourite is the Baja 1000 truck where it pleased the crowds with its tail-out antics. The spongy springs add to the spectacle. Patrick Friesacher's Toyota Camry NASCAR burnout was pretty entertaining too when his car caught fire. It was more of a smokeout than a burnout to us! Jean Ragnotti doing perfect 360 degree spins in his Renault 5 Maxi Turbo wasn't too shabby too!

 

A new Guinness world record was also set for the fastest time over 1 mile(1.6km) on two wheels. Completed in 2 minutes 10 seconds, Terry Grant drove a Nissan Juke RS Nismo up the hill on two wheels and smashed the previous record of 2 minutes and 45 seconds. When he went up the ramp, it did look like he nearly it lost it!

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
