whoa man i love those cars, esp the GTO u posted. And the E55 AMG is awesome too. Ohhh you've got a nice car as well!

TwinTurbo_Supra SG

dun quote leh... the pics will take damn long to load finish...

Ali_Khl SG

Thanks Heng Smile

TT_Supra - Yes the GT4 version of the Celica ST185 is very rare in Singapore and quite a rare piece globally as a matter of fact. I have thus spotted two in Singapore, included the one pictured, and it features a four-wheel drive drivetrain, turbocharged 2 litre 225hp engine and is very quick!

Whaleson SG

oh man! tt’s a whole loads of cars u’ve got there!! awesome!! haha my fav. has to be nissan SKYLINE! ha.. sad thing.. there’s a stupid looking ah beng pai kia who drove a black skyline near my estate.. dammit… ( hope tt guy dun see tis)

D16Z6 SG

wah bro....1st time posting tis thread n u got so many nice pics....
the 1999 GTO is nice looks abit like 3000GT...but do u hav 3000GT pics???
and isn't that a Ford Cosworth??? Laughing

Ali_Khl SG

D16Z6,

The GTO Mitsubishi is virtually identical to the 3000GT - The 3000GT is known as the GTO in Japan, the car's central market and everywhere outside (if imported offically, at least) as the 3000GT. Hence due to this fact it can be said that the car that I spotted is a late-Japanese Domestic Market model imported here privately. As for more pics of 3000GTs, ive got a few more as well as an engine picture i took, i will most likely post these up another time.

The Ford pictured there is a Cosworth - It is based on the Sierra sedan (never officially imported into Singapore) and sports a cosworth tuned turbocharged engine. It is known as the Ford Sierra RS Turbo Cosworth, or a 'Cossie' Smile Apparently i ve heard from a friend that this is the sole Sierra in Singapore and sports more than 500hp! I recently spotted a older Ford Escort RS Cosworth in Singapore too, which was quite a site.

haowee SG

Yes it s a 1.9 Vaneo.
I thought was a A class also, but after I parked my car, went back to see.

can't even find it on the Mercedes website.

LH83 SG

Spotted a red Mitsubishi FTO driving out of NUH today… and Ali… I think the Supra I saw in Perth is the same silver Veilside one you have… hee… your shot is much better than mine….

[email protected] SG

ooooooooo ok. but UK dun like vaneo... dunno y

Kr0n SG

OMG Those are mad lovely pics. Thanks so much Ali! Cheers mate. And don't you just looooove being in Melbourne? At least a few skylines everday, and most of the time you'll be hearing drivers roar their engines all around city...till the point you get used to it haha. Over here, when you hear such a roar, you'd most likely turn your head and see init? Razz

nick34 SG

It's okie. Just don't repeat the same mistake will do. Wink I'm a driver myself so I understand how owner/s feel upon seeing their number plate being posted on a public forum. Of cos there are ppl who don't mind. Wink

Please, when you guys quote someone. Do take note not to quote the pic too. But if you are going to comment on a pic or two, just quote the pic intended. Thanks all for the efforts
