Hi all, Anyone have/ install roof rack? either for bicycle or storage one Which shop I can buy the roof rack? Thanks for the info/ reply

I do not know how many members have a magnetic turning beacon light place on vehicle roof top either plug into the cigarette lighter charger or battery operated in their vehicle. As for me, all my cars has one each and I find them very handy. I would not hesitate to provide assistence to the driver whose vehicle either breaks down or vehicle collisions. This is despite sustaining a permanent and chronic injury on my left foot from a fall 2 years back at the Bird Viewing Tower in Pasir Ris Park 2 while descending from a flight of steps. The above incident occurred due to irregularity of the 1st step height which is very much lower than the rest. Being in the building industry myself, I am well knowledgeable in the building regulations and bye-laws. All attempts by a team of specialists to save my left ankle for the last 2 years were unsuccessful. I still have to undergo various physiotherapists, orthopaedic consultations to monitor my left ankle condition, having to put on an ankle brace to minimise movement and pain at the ankle joint and use of a walking stick to support myself when walking. Anyway, I have taken a civil suit against the government and the case is ongoing in court. Despite my foot condition, I would park my car behind the back of the last vehicle and place the beacon light on my car roof and provide whatever assistence they needed. Last evening peak hour was an example. While driving along the ECP outermost lane towards Changi Airport just before the ERP gantry, there was a massive traffic jam resulting from 3 cars collision and no drivers border to stop their vehicle behind the last collided car to provide any assistence. All vehicles were horning away as they either want to change lane and other vehicles refused to give way. But as for me, I just drove slowly until I reached the back of the rear vehicle involved in the collision and place the beacon light on my car roof. The vehicle drivers involved in the collision were surprised to see a car stopping behind the last car involved and placed a beacon light on the roof. As the beacon could be seen from far as it is placed on the car roof, it is effective as vehicles can see the turning light from far away and give ways to a certain extent. The respective drivers involved in the collision contacted their tow truck company and AAS but the latter 2 were unable to reach the scene due to the packed jam. They thanked me for my assistence but I told them that I always stopped my car in any traffic accident to help in whatever I can A few minutes later, a traffic police in white uniform on motorbike rode towards my car. He thought that my car was involved in the collision but I told him that I was not but stopped to render assistence. He told me and the drivers involved in the collision that he was riding on the opposite lane towards Keppel Road and my beacon light caught his attention and turned around somewhere infront of him. If not for my beacon light, he thought that it was just a typical enening traffic congestion. The traffic police than radioed his traffic police station for backup and several on motorbikes arrived. The traffic police team thanked me for helping the drivers of the vehicles involved in the collision and told me that the roof top beacon light that I have is a very good idea and that vehicle owners should have it in their vehicles. Who knows, if one's vehicle will to break down, this beacon light would be very effective. Thereafter, the traffic police team stopped all vehicles to enable me to drive out and I drove home. A month back, I was driving my Porsche during an evening peak hour massive traffic congestion and all vehicles were horning away. As I suspected that there might be an accident or something, I just drove along the lane where all vehicles were attempting to get out of that lane. Realised that a taxi had broken down and an old man was moving from one vehicle to another which I suspected was the taxi driver, to seek assistence but none bordered to do so. The old man looked like he was at a loss as his 2 hands were on his head. I then drove my Porsche behind his taxi, placed the beacon light on my car roof and told him that I have stopped my car to help him. He mentioned to me that he was involved in an accident earlier and was on his way to the taxi operator's workshop to have the taxi repaired. The bonnet was wreaked I found that he is 71-years old, deaf on one ear, doesn't speak English and does not carry a handphone and in a confused state. He kept telling me that he doesn't know what to do as no drivers bordered to help him despite his approaches, worried that he has to pay S$1,000k to his taxi operator and earned very little on that day. It was only after assuring him that I will help him and accompany him until assistance arrived, he began to calm down. I contacted his taxi operator's tow truck company and the receiver thought that I was the taxi driver. She sounded very surprised when I mentioned that I have stopped my car to help this old man. Due to the traffic congestion, the tow truck was unable to reach the scene and we waited for more than an hour. By then, it was already dark and the old man was worried but I told him that I would be with him regardless of the time. Out of nowhere, a traffic police on motorbike approached us with siren on. The traffic police told me that while taking a road bend to another road, he saw my beacon light. He then turned on his bike beacon lights, siren and managed to meanuvour to reach us. I could see the relieve on the old taxi driver's face and kept thanking me for standing by him. What the traffic police told me that surprised him was that a Porsche owner who is handicapped, could border to stop and help someone in trouble whereas other drivers don't even border to do so. He thanked me for helping someone in need and my innovative idea of having a beacon light instead of the triangular emergency reflective signage. He then contacted his station for back-up and with minutes, 3 traffic police on motorbikes arrived and controlled the road congestion. While talking with the traffic police on the taxi driver's behalf, a tow truck managed to arrive at the scene from a different direction after one traffic police freed the road in front of the taxi for the truck driver to reverse the truck towards the taxi's front. Again, the traffic police stopped all vehicles to enable me to reverse my car and drive home. I simply do not understand why our road users are not civid minded. Is it so difficult as to to stop their vehicles to help someone in need of help. Why shunt away someone who approaches them for help. How will one feel if their vehicle will to break down on the road and no one borders to stop and provide assistance in one way or other.

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singapor...nt.jsp?id=11475 When STOMPer Gary first saw this man lying face down motionless on the top open deck of a multi-storey carpark in Rivervale Crescent, he thought something bad had happened. "I thought it was a dead body," he said. He took this photo at Block 146A at about 11am on Dec 22 and sent it to STOMP in an email last night (Dec 23). He said he realised later that the man was sun-tanning. "He took off his shirt and left it on the floor to use as a mat and rolled up his shorts," he said. "No need to go to the beach or pool anymore!" he said. However, the STOMPer was also concerned for his safety. "This is a carpark. He's lying just next to the designated lots for cars and near the staircase which is a popular area for drivers to park. "A driver who is not looking at him or who is not alert may not notice him lying there and just drive over him," he said. "Morever, he's facing down and may not see any car coming."

I frequently see cars with roof rack on top. But I have never seen anyone put anything on top of the rack...The most is a weird shape box with the brand "T**le", and I think it comes with the roof rack! Question is: Have anyone seen someone putting stuff on such roof rack?

Hi! thinking of getting a car cover for my car. But my car has a roof antenna sticking out of the rear portion of the roof. Anyone has any idea if it is still possible to put on the car cover with the antenna in place? I know that my antenna is flexible kind but wun long term bending under the cover will cause it to be deformed?? Thanks! BTW any car covers to recommend and where to get them.

Just got some dents on my roof after a friend climbed on top of it! A few spots, roughly about 5, sank in slightly because of hands and weight of body! From far cannot see but upon close inspection and under strong light and reflection can see that there are dents! Didn't expect the roof to be so soft! Argh! Seeking advice about where to repair these dents! Read in Hotstuff that there's a Winston who does coin-sized dent removal! Good or not?! Other recommendations?! Will try to post pics soon! Thanks!

Please take note that this is my opinion, need not agree or disagree.... Good Points: Fresh interior, fit and finish of good standard Height adjustable Driver sit Auto Climate control Blue back lights Nice oval air condition indicator Rear armrest with cup holder Press button boot instead of traditional lever opener Ice head set, air con controls etc in good location for easy access Quiet egine below 4k rpm Beautifull body lines Very smooth ride with great gear change Nice Rear New VVT engine Optional sun roof, make car look sportier 15 inch sports rim instead of Hard caps Can be better points: Engine dont feel eager Harsh engine tone after 4k rpm Electric steering give me a not on the ground feeling, maybe not use to it No build in radio head set with steering wheel controls where the Australian have it Overall, will buy this car anytime over some japanese make... Best Hyundai effort so far...

Hello, just checking if your cars have any slight rattle or vibration sounds especially in the roof areas? I do once once i hit 60KM/H + or when I go over very bumpy roads. My made in Jap car is only 3 months old and there's already this problem (not as bad as those old cars tho), would the sales agent cover this under warenty or must I go and sound proof my car?

Hi guys, I'm driving a lancer and the antenna is side mounted. Any brothers here knows where to get a set of roof mount antenna like the evos, mazda and vios? How much would it be for the set? I intend to get a body shop to remove and patch the side antenna holes . Which is the best way to get it done? I definitely want to remove it.. It would be good if anyone here has it done before and can recommend me their bodyshop and a place to get the roof mount antenna. I'll probably have to go to an ICE shop to reroute the internal wires as well

Hi, Any alfa 147 owners here who have installed a roof spoiler? Got some questions & hope you can help. Apart from Autovox & Alfasportivo, any other companies sell & install them? How much would a replica cost? Is it advisable to get a replica instead of a spoiler for example from Novitec that costs about S$550? I have joined AROC since last week but account has not been activated. So can't post this on AROC forum. Thanks in advance!
