The Perdana. Probably the most decent of the whole Proton line-up.Originally posted by farky:anyone got pics of the singapore-registered proton perdana? its SBY plate and i think its the only one in singapore. spotted it at tanjung rhu on christams

One look you know it's a china car. Copied so badly. The body looks like an X5, while the boot door seems to be lifted from the 7 series. And god the car is high. I won't be suprised if the car turns turtle.|Originally posted by ceecookie:Hey here's a little quiz - is this a real BMW X5?
Seems that the boot splits open. Just like the Range Rover. Andthe door handles are not coloured. Yucks, ugly to the core! -
Probably because they know its a waste of money to own expensive cars in singapore... cars are a liability, not an asset...Originally posted by NoobBOY:I have seen many guys living in Semi-D house owing some cheap cars, especially at CALDECOTT HILL lots of cheap cars although people living is still quite wealthy enough to buy atleast a porsh. -
Speaking of Lamborghini Murcielago LP640s,

This is one I spotted while I was in my friend's car when I was studying at Sunway University College. It seems this LP640 parks at my school but I've never seen it there before. Managed to take a few pictures of it while my friend followed it. -

I don't see any similarities between the boot of this china SUV and the boot of the 7-series..Originally posted by Ferrari_RoXz:One look you know it's a china car. Copied so badly.

And it's an SUV..so very obviously it has a high ride height..nothing wrong with that.. -
Nope..I will name the most decent Proton as the Gen.2 or Satria Neo..Originally posted by FatPenguin:The Perdana. Probably the most decent of the whole Proton line-up.
And speaking of SG registered Perdana, I never see before..but SG registered Proton Saga can?
Sorry for blur pic..used my sh!tty Samsung to take this pic..
And it's in bright yellow.. -
pilots nowadays just sit in the c0ckpit and do nothing... all computerized. maybe that's why they choose normal cars... so wun fall asleep while on the road or somethingOriginally posted by LH83:Probably because they know its a waste of money to own expensive cars in singapore... cars are a liability, not an asset... -
I didn't know take-off and landing is computerized..hmm......Originally posted by tomsss:pilots nowadays just sit in the c0ckpit and do nothing... all computerized. maybe that's why they choose normal cars... so wun fall asleep while on the road or something -

And it's in bright yellow.. .... my mom almost bought that kind 9 years back
its a Proton Iswara aeroback i think...there's a 2007 Limited Edition Version i saw..usually orange...or maybe that's the only colour -
What made her ALMOST bought it?Originally posted by JJxJJ:that version..i dont see it much nowadays. .... my mom almost bought this 9 years back -
Ermm, just in case you don't know. Computers are so advanced these days that a plane can land itself. This system is called the ILS (Instrument Landing System). The only part where the pilot have to land manually is at the last 200ft (around that height + or -) which is usually the <10secs of the flight. which he has to disengage the Autopilot.Originally posted by alleggerita:I didn't know take-off and landing is computerized..hmm......
On the contary, pilots can choose to land manualy by themselves. This gives them a sense of satisfaction tha they achieved something.
Taking off is not as automatic as landing, but still, it can be done. There's a device called autothrottle which controls the engine power, The pilot has to change the setting to take off mode on the auto throttle and the plane takes off by its own, except that the pilot has to pull back the yoke (steering on the plane) when he reaches V2 (take off speed). But most pilots prefer manual power up as it just feels better.
It's so advance that the plane can auto park at the Terminal gate using GPS.(so far this is only avaliable on the A380)
Hope my explanation is correct, correct me if I'm wrong.
These days, pilots have a much much easier life than pilots a decade ago.
Hope this helps!
