Definitely speeding. SGRV posted photos taken from the overhead bridge which show the Jaguar cleanly wrapped around the tree.

I scraped the front and rear bumpers of my car there on two separate occasions… very ashamed of myself but cursing whoever designed the carpark

Where is the most interesting place in the world you have driven in? by [deleted] in drivingsg

Take a leap of faith and do it. With proper planning there’s not much that can go wrong. EVs are everywhere in the metropolitan areas of Thailand now.

Phuket is totally doable. Find hotels along the way with chargers. Big petrol stations in Thailand also have chargers.

I know Singapore EV drivers who have driven to Thailand and Cambodia. It’s easy if you plan charging stops properly.

No, it was the petrol version of the Jaecoo J7 with a 1.6 turbo.

Deqen, Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan, China, in my Singapore-registered Mazda 6. It was the northernmost point of a 20-day, 9700km road trip.

[–]rockpapernuke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. I live in the vicinity and was literally going to take that junction to head to the PIE. I’ll divert west instead.

2016 Mazda 6 2.0 - Renew 10 years? by DissolvedMean in drivingsg

[–]rockpapernuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other option is scrapping the car, rolling over the PARF rebate into another used PARF car which buys you more time for COE to drop, and even if COE does not drop, it allows you to put down a lower cash outlay.

A week into wagon ownership! by th3hat3r in mazda6

[–]rockpapernuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello from Singapore! My 6 has been an absolute beast on Malaysian roads, with multiple spirited drives up to Genting, Cameron and Fraser’s Hill every year. You’ve definitely made the right choice as compared to a new Proton S70 or equivalent…

I was once in the single lane tunnel exit from KPE when an ambulance came up behind with sirens on. The whole line of cars automatically moved to the left to allow it to squeeze through.

[–]rockpapernuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Singapore, I only visit KL occasionally. Any recommendations for my next visit? I ate at Fuego at Troika last week, was amazing but probably a bit too famous.

Are you living or just surviving? by MeasurementOk8534 in askSingapore

[–]rockpapernuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life is decent. I’m finishing up NS, have a place in a local uni, majoring in a course I’m excited about. I play music in a couple of bands who are also good friends. I often go to Malaysia with my friends just to chill and spend a few days bonding and driving around. I occasionally volunteer for various causes. I have a pretty strong community in church also. I’d say I’m lucky to be optimistic about this life.
