Rolls-Royce

What seems to be missing from this picture? That's right, envious peeps, the 'Spirit of Ecstasy' emblem/ mascot/ whatever-you-call-it hood ornament that comes with every Rolls-Royce car. What happened to Emily? The wind blew her away?

Tennant

for those who know what i'm talkin' about here, andy plans to sweep home alabama...

Ultracar

Captain Toshio Muramatsu's car. The Science Patrol leader's freshly spray painted automobile is an upgrade from the original silver 1961 Chevrolet Corvair four-door sedan. Can you tell the difference?

Barnsburry

Barnsburry Engineering (S) Pte Ltd at Pioneer Sector 2 is a subsidiary enterprise of Barnsburry Equipment (HK) Ltd Taiwan Branch, but the question is, what's their scissor lift doing here in Henderson Industrial Park? Did some disgruntled employee hijack it?

Gecko Driver

With Texas Ranger Earl McGraw hot on their heels, the Gecko brothers Seth and Richie have nowhere else to hide but - what?! - in Kim Seng Community Centre. As if their firearms and bags of loot are not gonna be completely conspicuous.

Truckster

Bumblebee decides he no longer wants to be a wimpish compact car, so he transforms into a tenacious truckster transporting cobblestone at the countryside. Will Sam be able to recognize him?

Vespa Delivery

Is it just me or are the Vespa scooters incomparably chic and classy even by today's standards? Imagine plying the streets of Pontedera, Italy, in one of these signature Piaggio mopeds while delivering a bottle of fine vintage wine to your signorina waiting at the porch. Romantico!

J Ride

"Resting amongst the lush foliage at the top of Mount Faber, The Jewel Box stands as Singapore's iconic hilltop destination." We know, but we dread going up there because it's so blardy inaccessible. Hence, the (free?) shuttle service that ferries patrons who don't mind burning a walnut-sized hole - not tumor, as an allusion to Michael Douglas - in their pockets.

Once a Marine, Always a Marine

Despite having left the United States Marine Corps since the first term of the Clinton Administration, Lieutenant Colonel Malta Sycher continues to serve and protect the public - rain or shine - as one of The Few, The Proud. See, he even has the nautical star to prove it.

Bottle Tree Park Series

Nestled in Yishun, at 81 Lorong Chencharu (which is 15 minutes walk from Khatib MRT Station), is the pastoral Bottle Tree Park. If you like fishing, paintballing, RC car racing or simply spending a weekend afternoon without fuss, then this is one of the cool places to check out.

5Couple swan paddling at a rather steep rental charge of $9 per 15 minute block (or an hourly rate of $500 for 12 swans). Any tryers? No? In that case, moving on...

5Water hyacinth resembling free-floating colonies of green. Science students, can you list three basic characteristics of these tropical plants? [3 marks]

5Bull cart ride for those too tired to tread on foot. Doesn't cost a cent, but doesn't move an inch, either.

5Stand to drive away a brand new Zotye Trex if you can name Mr. Alex Neo's favorite exotic flora species. Otherwise, wait for next year's Subaru Challenge.

5Tony Roma's for dinner?

London Bus

Recognized by their characteristic red color schemes, London buses are supposedly the only public transport taken by my Bentley-driving/ chauffeured ex-employer - or so he claimed. Never been on one myself - have you?

Jeebra Jeep

Best to be driven in tough safari terrains whilst expe-diting striped horsies. Not even Sir David Atten-borough will have the vaguest idea what I'm babbling about here.

Next Month...

Noisy and crash-prone fast cars will be vrooming back to town once again from September 24-26 for the 3rd F1 night race. This time, the main attraction will be a state-of-the-art and ahead-of-its-time Light Cycle from TRON: LEGACY. Beat that!

Banish the Taboo

It's Taboo Tuesday and what better way to banish the gloom to the back burner than take a spin on the Scoopy’s & Cream gelato wagon? There's an abundance of frozen custard, an infinite party mix playlist and even an Italian Mafioso who makes bloody sure you have a good time – or else...

A Playboy and a Rockstar

At a ripe 84, Hugh Hefner finds no problem scooting between porn parties on his speedy Kawasaki.

Metal Mulisha band leader Captain Skull, on the other hand, takes freestyle motocrossing a bit more seriously.

Ace Ventura's Van?

The eccentric (and possibly insane) Pet Detective must've gone out to look for his missing capuchin Spike. Hurry back quickly, or Daisy Irani the no-nonsense car park warden from ONE MORE CHANCE's gonna give you a summon!

You'll Never Ride Alone

Because Roy Hodgson himself will be biking alongside throngs of Liverpool fanatics on his modified Red Machine all the way to Anfield. If that's not considered team spirit, we don't know what is.

Segway

Say, I could use one of these personal trans-porters to help get me to work every morning. All I need are some Saphion lithium-ion batteries and a safe parking space.

BMW

After acquiring two Benzes and a Bentley, the Chairman of Sri Mariamman Temple has added yet another feather to his cap - so to speak. A brand new Bayerische Motoren Werke AG will fit nicely into the home garage. Ah, what can we say? Lifestyle of the rich, famous and speed-seeking.
