I heard this 2 days ago. Glen and FD + one more lady DJ, they welcome callers to talk about xiaolongnu and how they find local guys. Man....at least 2 callers who worked in ktv or similar (i.e. they are xiaolongnu) said: "Singapore men very stupid, once you hook them, they give you anything, everything. You can borrow 20k without need to pay back and can get them to buy "bao bao" for you. 1 word, singapore men very stupid". Upon hearing that, the guy DJs keep protesting! hahaha! And the female DJ agrees.... What's your take on this??

Was at Sepang last weekened for JGTC and to watch Formula Renault V6, and Formula BMW... I must say this newly formed racing team, a joint venture between Singapore and Malaysia, is doing REALLY well, unlike the political failure of the A1 Singapore team... Drivers include former A1GP Hafiz Koh who is a Singaporean and another Indian National, who is high on the rankings list and came in first, TWICE, at Sepang. Lets egg them on! Hopefully this continues to grow..hehe http://www.xxxxxxx.com/news/news.php?view=1&newsid=561 http://www.xxxxxxx.com/news/news.php?view=1&newsid=560

Was on my way home and my other half was watching TV Mobile and then she exclaimed "Skoda!" and I was like ... "Er... where? Don't see any..." "On TV!!!" and lucky for me, the lights turned red and I managed to catch the ending of the ad and the "Simply Clever" slogan... Interesting ... I never thought I'll see a Skoda ad on these shores

Bros, i just changed to alteza rear lights not too long ago..and since then, have been looking for amber signal light for my ride..coz the stock bulb is pale yellow/white..thus not so visible in sunlight.. description of the bulb is below..it's the front/rear flasher, 581 BULB 12V 21W AMBER http://www.consumabulbs.com/files/nproduct.php?mk=20&md=355 any idea where to get it locally? if possible, i dont want to get from the site..

Hi anyone know which local PIs import BMW and porsche? how cheaper are we looking at as compare to the AD. understand both BMW and Porsche comes with International warranty and therefore will be able to get the warranty to be service by the AD. anyone can confirm that?

How do u differentiate btw an export & local set?

Firstly. Aveo. The 1.4L ETECII engine is actually a GM Family I engine designed in the 1970s. Both the 1.4 DOHC and 1.5 SOHC are Family I engines. Family I engines are designed by Adam Opel. DOHC versions feature aluminium cylinder blocks. Local Optra and Optra5 in the 1.6L DOHC variants are also Family I engines. Only the Malaysian Optra LT1.8 is using a Family II engine. ETECII is EuroIII compliant.

Anyone has the link? Wanna check out the specs and price as well. Thanks.

Looks like a Megane clone [inline latio1.jpg] [inline latio2.jpg]

Local Skoda Superb review by Carbuyer SKODA OFFERS A SUPERB ALTERNATIVE By Hadi Soedarsono From CarBuyer, Issue 09 Those looking for a European alternative to large sedans like the Toyota Camry and Nissan Cefiro may find the Skoda Superb a worthy proposition. NOW that Skoda is Volkswagen owned, the Czech carmaker is no longer what it used to be. Inferior cars with shady reliability are a thing of the past. The company now makes quality automobiles and sells them at affordable prices. The improvement results from using VW platforms and sharing the same parts bins as its German siblings. Like the Octavia and Fabia models, that are built on the VW Golf and Polo platforms respectively, the Superb is the flagship car that's based on a stretched Passat platform. Compared to the four-door German, the Superb has an extra 100mm between the front and rear wheels, making its wheelbase and overall length comparable to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The name "Superb" has a lot to live up to for a brand like Skoda, but the Czech company is confident that it has rolled out a winner. Furthermore, "Superb" is a traditional name from Skoda's heritage which was given to its flagship sedans during the 1930s and 40s. DRIVING IT The Superb comes with several engine variants, but only the 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder makes it here. The 150bhp unit is smooth and lag-free, but becomes a tad raucous above 4000rpm. It's also a little sluggish during acceleration. However, the ultra-responsive five-speed automatic gearbox helps make overtaking a breeze. Shift quality is flawless in auto mode and there's also a Tiptronic function for you to change gears manually. Although the instantaneous shifting response in Tiptronic mode is well suited for spirited driving, the Superb is more at home when driven in a laid-back manner. The plush suspension provides a cushioned ride under most road conditions, while tyre and wind noise intrusion is minimal. If the Superb is pushed hard around the corners, there is hardly any drama. The tyres grip religiously onto the asphalt and the steering remains nicely weighted and communicative with the only complaint being body roll that could stand to be a little more subdued. INSIDE IT Step into the leather-clad cabin and you will find Passat bits everywhere, which is no bad thing. The dashboard is made from first-class materials and expensive-feeling switchgear. Build quality is bombproof and you won't find any uneven panel gaps. The seats are comfortable and supportive, but the all-black colour scheme makes the cockpit look a little bland. Cabin space is generous in all directions and we especially like the extended rear cabin with its own dedicated air-con vents. Further back, the boot is voluminous and well shaped. It should be able to swallow more than two golf bags. DOLLARS AND SENSE Competitively priced against the Nissan Cefiro and Toyota Camry, the Superb is listed at $108,000 with COE. Some of the highlights that come standard include four airbags, climatronic air-conditioning, multi-function information display and trip computer. VERDICT If you remove the Skoda badges from the Superb you could easily fool anyone into thinking that it is a German car - even its engine is shared with the VW Passat and Audi A4 1.8T. The exceptional build quality and classy cabin materials make it feel like a premium product with a higher price tag. Compared to its intended Japanese rivals, this large Czech feels more solid and posh, albeit not as well equipped. While the Superb is about as powerful as the similarly priced Cefiro and Camry, it's humbler engine size will save you a couple of bucks in road tax as well. Finally, keen drivers might find that the Superb lacks the pace of its larger-engined rivals. However, it is not Skoda's intention to make its flagship car overly sporty in the first place. The Superb is in all honesty about comfort and luxury at an affordable price. In these respects, it is indeed, Superb. SUPERB HISTORY LARGE Skodas are not new. The first Superb was launched in 1934. It had a 2,492cc 6-cylinder engine and produced 55bhp which was good enough to take it to a maximum speed of 110km/h. Over the next decade, succeeding generations of the Superb had larger and larger engines until 1949 where the fifth-generation model had a 3,991cc V8 powerplant that produced 93bhp and reached a top speed of 135km/h. The last Superb was built in 1949, and only 10 units of this variant were ever made. NEED TO KNOW Model: Skoda Superb Classic Engine: 1,781cc 20V in-line 4 Max Power: 150bhp at 5700rpm Max Torque: 210Nm at 1750rpm Gearbox: 5-speed automatic Top Speed: 212km/h 0-100 km/h: 10.9 seconds Price: $108,000 with COE Warranty: 3 years / 60,000km Contact: Czech Auto Pte Ltd, 6472-1188 AT A GLANCE [ol] [*]Headlamps look similar to the Octavia and the front grille is unmistakably Skoda [*]In Classic trim, you get climate control, four airbags and multi-function computer [*]Smooth and responsive five-speed auto has Tiptronic function for manual shifting [*]Turbo charging lets the 1.8-litre engine to keep up with its larger-engined rivals [*]Wheelbase is 100mm longer than VW's Passat making it as roomy as an E-Class [/ol] SIMILAR CARS WE HAVE DRIVEN Toyota Camry 2.0 $106,280 with COE More than a match for the Superb in terms of interior space - especially rear legroom, the Toyota may be ultimately quieter and more comfortable. But the Skoda's firmer damping will please keener drivers. Nissan Cefiro 200JK $103,000 with COE It's a thoroughly modern car with a comprehensive features list. However, the Superb's turbo charged engine will see it gathering pace long after the Cefiro's unit has run out of steam.
