Whilst on holiday in Melbourne (loved it!), i took a short trip over to Dutton Garage when i had a day to myself. It was well worth the time. Part 1: https://garage36.wordpress.com/2016/08/14/fascination-automobile-visiting-dutton-garage-melbourne-part-1/ Part 2: https://garage36.wordpress.com/2016/08/16/in-the-house-of-stone-and-light-visiting-dutton-garage-part-2/

what do you do ? what can you do ? or can you do anything ? visited an installer yesterday to fix aftermarket alarm (entry level) for my 2005 imprezza. after the alarm fix, everything about the alarm worked swee-swee ... but when I drove the car off, I realized that the "D" light in my display cluster did not light up so I drove back to the installer. they opened up the cluster and said that the bulb had blown and they did not have any replacement bulb. so now my car only have 1,2,3,N and P, so what do you do when you go do something and then something else spoils ? worst part is they told me the bulb cannot buy outside also.

i'm looking for random spare parts for my Getz which i hope to find in the local scrap yards. the parts which i'm looking for, the local stockists don't have...even if they have, it will be expensive understand that there are scrap yard operators as listed in the link below: http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onem..._operators.html i'm totally new to visiting scrap yards so as a newbie sotong, a few questions which i hope the lao jiaos can answer: 1) can i just visit any of the scrap yard to look for spare parts and buy them from these yard owners? i suppose it makes sense to call beforehand to check if there are any Getz (my car model) lying in the yard? 2) do i need to pay a fee to enter the yard even if i don't buy anything? 3) anything which i should be careful of? it is legal to buy parts from scrapped cars right? (sorry for the duh question ) 4) any scrap yard which you would recommend to go? 5) if i do find something which i want and it requires dismantling, is it expected of me to DIY dismantle or will the yard operator help? sorry for the many many blur questions. thanks!

No Stranger To Love (Of RWB) I've always enjoyed my travels. When an opportunity comes for me to get unto a plane and set off for another country, it always feels like a new adventure. Perhaps, this comes down to me not really being the sort to have many chances to fly out of our little red dot on a regular basis. But through the course of my limited journeys and the "Speed-Huntings" i manage to sneak in, i have had the pleasure and blessings in being able to meet some very cool people and visiting some awesome car shops and shows. Yasuaki "Bob" Suzuki from Studie AG, Mark from Fatlace, Charles from the Hong Kong BMW Club, Luke from Maiham Media, Dino the real "SpeedHunter", Alexi from Nori-Yaro and so much much more. Yes, even the friendly designer and his hentai colleague i met at a Tempura joint in Shinjuku counts as a memorable experience. With my horrid Japanese and their limited grasp of English, it was thru them that i learnt, "Listening isn't just by using our ears, but our heart". Those kind words stuck with me since. So where does all this lead? Well, to Thailand i guess. Having pushed my return date to the next evening, i had one mission (besides all the shopping), to make a trip down to RWB Thailand! Sometimes, when visiting a new place, you sort of have an idea of what to expect. For me, on this trip down, i had pretty much no idea at all. Even the taxi driver was stumped after dropping me off, returning twice to ask if i got the right address. As here i was, a tourist, asking to be dropped off in front of a building undergoing final construction work. Of course this was the right place, early pictures and sketches i saw on the interwebs proved this. A sleek edgy looking joint. I entered the compound and wandered off to the back where i finally met Mr Chin Kanitpong, savvy property businessman and from the looks of it, a big RWB fan. As you are reading this, the building that will eventually house RWB Thailand is probably undergoing final touches to ready it for launch on the 1st of June. Sadly, as there was still construction going on, there were no RWBs sitting inside. As i chatted with Mr Chin, it became apparent he was not only into RWBs and Porsches, but into BMWs too! In fact, a short walk later, he opened the doors to one of his toy rooms. And inside... were these babies... A full race-spec Mk 1 Golf GTI in Jager-bombing orange! And what's that lurking in the shadows behind? Only an evil looking E30 M3. Running an E36 M3 engine and also totally stripped out for the tracks. It also sported a RHD conversion done locally. This was no garage-queen, it's built to go fast! Lovely carbon bits all around. At this point in time, i would have left happy, just seeing these beauties and having had some awesome car-chat with Mr Chin. But being a truely awesome and gracious host(+ great car-guy all round), he actually brought me over to his home to take a look at his RWB baby. What does a man have to do to have a garage like this?

My grand niece age 11 from PRC current staying with me as she is on summer school holiday. I wanted to bring her to Malaysia by driving up north and wonder if she needs a visa to enter Malaysia. I had applied for her visa to stay in SG for 60 days but does she need a visa to enter Malaysia? Any brothers here can advise. Thanks.

My most extensive post. A visit to Studie Tokyo's Showroom... Extremely image intensive but well worth it! I've been waiting so long to post this one up Garage36: Day 5: Part 1: Shinjuku > Higashi-Fuchu "Visting Studie Tokyo" . I would really like to showcase the cars here, but there are just too many images to share. I hope you don
