Gentlemen, start your engines… or perhaps you'd might want to get those electric motors purring!

Sgcarmart has kicked off its inaugural Sgcarmart Adventures - a curated adventure designed to bring local car enthusiasts and the community at large together - with a driving trip that saw a total of six cars participating to take a deeper look at Singapore's automotive manufacturing history.

The day started off with a quick breakfast right in the lobby of our office, which was followed by a safety briefing and a quick photoshoot of both the participants and their cars.

A quick drive later saw our convoy arriving at the Former Ford Factory, where our participating Mycarforum members got a deeper than usual insight into the history of the plant, where we were greeted by one chatty but insightful museum guide.

The tour proved to be highly informative, with the guide informing those gathered about more than just the history of the factory itself, but also its surroundings and sharing more than few personal anecdotes about what motoring here in Singapore was like during the years after the war.

One more shot of the participants later then saw our convoy heading off to visit the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Centre Singapore, where we were treated to a tour of the facility. But this was no regular visit - those who joined us for this tour got the unique opportunity to meet Spot, the canine-inspired robot developed by Hyundai-owned robotics firm Boston Dynamics.

This was then followed by the chance to try some of the innovation centre's vegetables from its vertical farm, and the chance to 'assemble' some cars as part of an augmented reality experience!

And of course, we couldn't leave before first sampling some of the cars now being made at the centre, starting off with rides in the Ioniq 5 on the centre's own rooftop Skytrack.

Those who wanted to get behind the wheel of a car were not left out, however, as test drives of the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 (on the roads surrounding the innovation centre, that is) were also offered to all eligible Mycarforum members as part of the driving trip!

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Christmas colours: What do they actually mean?

    The members of the Sgcarmart media team recently put its heads together to prepare something special and festive for our readers and viewers - which you can both read about and watch on Instagram - and as we were sitting down to plan things out, we were faced at one point with a deceptively simple question: What are the different meanings behind the colours we associate with Christmas?  In my very non-expert eyes, three distinct colours stand out: Red, green and white primarily,

    My favourite racing game is back!

    THERE'S A NEW TOKYO XTREME RACER GAME ON THE WAYYYY!!!! This is the best news for fans of this rather understated and obscure racing game. Also known as Shutoko Battle in Japan, this is a series of racing games by Genki, a Japanese game company that was founded in 1990. Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 is one of the most popular game in the series as it features many cars, opponents and an extensive map For those that have never heard of these games, I'll give you a quick run-down. Inspired by the

    Forget resolutions, just focus on starting fresh

    The start of a new year is always a happy time for me. Apart from gatherings and mini reunions, January is when I reflect on everything I've accomplished last year, while mentally noting the things I still need to work on. Resolutions, though, are not for me. While it's not wrong to list some and strive towards them like goals, I think making resolutions is not the optimal way for me to reach new milestones, because more often than not, they're declared 'in the moment'. Or worse, after you'
