(Post all sightings/pics of rare cars in SG here!) (Part 10)
-
If you park your car for a long time (like a few days) with the steering tilted, not good for tyres especially if your car's wheels have camber..the load distribution for the tyres not even, and the tyres might go out of shape, increasing the risk of a blowout at high speeds..but that happens if you always do that..Originally posted by iaintmad:how come not good for tyres?
i dont understand how it affects the tyres and steering rack
E.g.: You everyday drive car reach home never straighten out the steering and leave it tilted to left/right..and do this for a year or two.. -
well he stays in the area of siglap so that makes me being around there too.Originally posted by FatPenguin:Ahhh... Where do you stay anyway? -
the pedestrian was crossing parallel to the stopped cars.Originally posted by RvnRooRon84:I was viewing that video during my RTL 1.02 just now at BBDC..
And honestly, I pity that pedestrian...
so is he actually jaywalking?
unless the traffic lights stops all traffic.
in sg roads, we cross the stopped traffic.
I realise the closest stopped car has its left blinker on.
But it's not turning, so either there'll be incoming traffic or redlight.
The car that rolled on the guy could've been heading straight for him at the first place or turning right. -
Ya lor..I was also thinking of this..if indeed the pedestrian is really jaywalking, then driver not much at fault liao..though still poor thing for that pedestrian..Originally posted by SilverRevo:the pedestrian was crossing parallel to the stopped cars.

Dunno how owner can accept it.. -

you don't leave your car on a slope for weeks rightOriginally posted by spadeTwo:i think driving centre got teach them to turn the front wheel like this when parking on slope leh. -
On slope is totally different case liao ma..Originally posted by spadeTwo:i think driving centre got teach them to turn the front wheel like this when parking on slope leh.
If leave the steering straight and if handbrake not engaged properly, car very easily roll down ma.. -
check out the review on topgear new season.Originally posted by Vanquish:didn't know it could look so nice with this colour combi as well. i think the black with orange stripes is still the best. so far haven't seen any on the roads, but there's one on display in the dealer's showroom in Sin Ming.
Green with black is not bad. But haven't seen the orange with black stripes.
looks damn good in green as well.

this is a real M5..can tell from the rims,badges and the SUNROOF..ha!
i got the plates..lazy to check..but i can confirm its real.
its still in my carpark now -
That time saw another M5 of the same colour at Geylang..then I was thinking to myself: "Hmm..a rich guy looking for chicks.."
And it zoomed passed me..can hear it's V10..
-
And from the oval shape of the wing mirrors, probably it's a genuine M5..stock 5-series wing mirrors is rectangular in shape..
