  Saw this pic..see? Got the word 'Ferrari' on the callipers..and why the 599GTB I took the brake discs looked so small?!
  
  This one looks much bigger! I know the ceramic disc brakes is bigger than the steel disc brakes, but the steel items ain't small too..but the 599GTB i snapped pictures of, its steel discs looked extremely small!

  steel brake disc front is 13.9inch, carbon-ceramic disc brakes option (as seen in the quote pic above) is 15.7inch. Think of it as seeing the difference between the rim of a Toyota Litace and that one of an Altis.

  No wonder the steels looked so much smaller!
  
  But the carbon-ceramics are supposed to be more effective than steel items, how come still need to be bigger than the steel ones? I thought should be the steel disc brakes bigger than the carbon-ceramic disc brakes?

  one of the advantages of CCB is that its light... therefore a bigger contact between the disc and the pads can be achieved without sacrificing additional weight. Bigger is always better

  I always think calling carbon-ceramic brakes CCB is so damn ugly and crude sounding..
  
  Especially Porsche's acronym PCCB..sounds like Pua Chao Che3 Bye..

  Aston Martin got a model called 'GT' meh?
  
  I thought they only have Vanquish (discontinued), DB9/DB9 Volante, V8 Vantage/V8 Vantage Roadster/N24/N400, and the upcoming Rapide?

  Anyways, here's my ONLY spotting for today..An AE86..
  
  But I'm surprised I managed to take such a good panning shot at night!

  Seriously, it was a tyco shot..cuz I was rushing to take a pic of it before the traffic lights turned green..and the moment I press my shutter, it started moving off..so I had to quickly panned my camera when I wasn't intending to make a panning shot actually..luckily it turned out good..

  Give you guys a suggestion..next time before taking pictures with your cameraphone, make sure that the lens is CLEAN..when it's clean, pictures turn out exceptional for a cameraphone..but when it's dirty and greasy, the pics will be blurry and washed out like NoobBOY's pictures..
  
  So clean your lens well before snapping pics..
  
  If you don't believe a clean lens and a dirty lens can make such a difference, check this out yourself..I did this demonstration with my Nokia N73..
  
  [b]Taken with a greasy lens..
  
  
  Taken with a clean lens..See the difference for yourself..

  Thanks for pointing out the mistakes that i had make, i really appreciate it. I will make sure that i clean the lens before taking photos. CHEERS DUDE

  Spotted this Mitsuoka Orochi just now.

  I'm guessing the owner gave permission for Hexy to post the pics up, so he probably doesn't mind the number plates showing
  
  I think the number plate is really badly placed on that Mitsuoka Orochi, but I guess the owner doesnt have much of a choice based on the design of the front. The designers definitely didnt take that into account, and in this case it ruins the symmetry

  lamp post sticking out of the top of the car. distracting.
  
  
  
  the left side lamp post incomplete
  
  
  
  dunno why, this pic doesn't work for me as well.
  
  

  anw, stupid weather condition... totally cannot do any photoshoot this few month.
  
  and i suggest u better blank of the plates. no photography is allowed in tat area, and the owner might get into trouble if the management surfs sgForums
