Cars

I always know myself as a great fan of automobils, esp on Mercedes Classic cars. Few evenings ago, I was driving home from ECP when i saw this classic (not vintage) Mercedes 190 in front of me. I took the risk of picking up my hp to snap a few shots. Wah.. its really dammm coooool..... if only i get the chance to drive or travel in one of them.

Friends who have visited my room before would have seen my huge glass cupboard, parked with 100s of car models of various brands and designs. In fact, both my dad and brother are also car lovers. This can be judged by the number of family cars we have changed over the past few decades (listed in chronological order, if not owned at the same time):

1) Mini Cooper 850cc - SV
2) Toyota Corolla 1.3 - SE
3) Toyotal Corolla 1.5 - EM
4) Mitsubishi Gallant 1.6 - EU
5) Toyota Corona 1.8 - EV
6) Honda Accord 1.6 - SBC
7) Nissan Laurel 2.0 - SBC
8) Mercedes Benz E300 - SCF
9) Nissan March 1.0 - SCN
10) Hyundai Sonata 2.0 - SCU
11) Kia Rio 1.5 - SDW
12) Peugeot Partner 1.9 - GX
13) Toyota Altis 1.6 - SFL
14) Toyota Liteace 1.8 - GQ
15) Toyota Hiace 2.4 - GY

As I obtained my driving license only in 2000, hence i only get to drive car #8 and onwards. However, i am still fortunate enough to have experienced driving diff makes of cars from Germany, France, Japan and Korea. From my personal experiences, i really feel tat there is a very great significant difference betw Korean cars and Japanese ones. Of cos there is no doubt tat European vehicles give me the best experience. Lately, I heard there are great improvements in the Japanese models (like cefiro and camry), but i havent gotten the chance to drive them yet. Korean cars? Pls. . i doubt i will ever buy it (again).

Well, most ppl in singapore who own cars are actually the poorer ppl, whereas ppl without cars are the richer ones. Owning a car makes u $1K poorer every mth. But i am born a sucker for cars...
