TL;DR – A driver of a Rolls Royce Phantom holds up traffic in Tiong Bahru because he was unwilling to scratch his car on a BMW X5 parked ever so slightly out of its lot. Hi all! Just a quick one today before I leave the office. This one is too juicy not to share. This video has gained 41k views in just 1-hour after uploading it on Facebook. That’s insane. Let’s watch the 57-second video here. Are you an idiot, sir? The video begins with the person recording the video asking the Rolls Royce driver whether he’s an idiot. It really looks like there’s more than enough space tbh. The BMW is parked just ever so slightly off the line. If kena, you pay? To which the driver of the Rolls retorts: A Caucasian lady attempts to diffuse the situation by asking him calmly to move his car closer to see whether he can clear the ‘tight’ space. But he says that he wants the selfish ‘b**tard’ of the X5 to come and move the car instead of him moving. Isn’t he being selfish too? There’s clearly enough space! Online Chatter Lots of commenters think the car isn’t his. I’m leaning towards that too! ======== Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community. Join us today!

For the first time, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is running a Chauffeur Driving programme across the Asia Pacific region, in countries like Singapore, Taiwan, Macau and Bangkok where there are traditionally a larger proportion of chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce owners. Called the 'White Glove Programme', this unique training is being conducted for new and experienced chauffeurs to help them to better handle their clients' Rolls-Royce cars. This programme is not about performance driving but instead focuses on enlightening drivers to have a thorough understanding of great driving etiquette, standards, best practice, car handling, safety and delivering a truly Rolls-Royce journey. The training will be conducted by UK-based Rolls-Royce expert, Andi McCann, who is highly experienced in working with chauffeurs and professional racing drivers. Chauffeurs also have to care for their passengers during loading and unloading, as well as make sure their needs are well taken care of. Along the way, they must not only drive safely but also at all times ensure the safety and security of their passengers. With Rolls-Royce, Andi is the company's approved VVIP Chauffeur, a Rolls-Royce Chauffeur and etiquette trainer, a Rolls-Royce product expert and trainer and Rolls-Royce Chauffeur for the Board of Directors, CEO and Chairman.

Bespoke automaker Rolls-Royce Motor Cars celebrated the opening of its new showroom in the famous city of St. Petersburg in Russia. The new showroom will help serve increasing demand for Phantom and Ghost models and will provide the most discerning clientele in the region, with direct access to the pinnacle super luxury brand. The dealership is located at the Astoria Hotel in one of the European cultural capitals, and will be under the fine care of Tatiana Fitzgerald - who is also the Managing Director of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Moscow. The unique Rolls-Royce Bespoke personalisation service will also be available from the new showroom, underlining the further growing popularity of this service among owners in Russia. Nearly all Phantom family models and three out of every four Ghosts contain some element of individuality. Wraith, the most powerful Rolls-Royce in history, was presented at the grand opening in St. Petersburg, for the first time by the shores of the Baltic Sea. The ultimate Gran Turismo combines super luxury and refinement with power, style and drama. The bold, charismatic lines of Wraith are a brave step forward for Rolls-Royce and the car has received overwhelming feedback since its debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2013. Torsten Muller-Otvos, CEO, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, commented, "St. Petersburg, with its timeless beauty and elegance, forms the ideal backdrop to stage Rolls-Royce motor cars in this outstanding showroom. Our presence here marks an important milestone in the sustained development of Rolls-Royce in Russia." He added, "I am particularly pleased to see that a team with a proven track record in the world of super luxury will take care of the customers in and around St. Petersburg. Tatiana and her team have a wealth of experience and will add great momentum to the sphere of luxury in the Leningrad region." Tatiana Fitzgerald commented, "Rolls-Royce has a very rich history in St. Petersburg and is where the first Rolls-Royce touched Russian ground more than 100 years ago. We are really excited to write the next chapter of the Rolls-Royce story in Russia." Last year, Rolls-Royce celebrated a third consecutive record year as 3,575 cars were delivered to customers across the world, marking the highest annual sales in the 109-year history of the brand - with Russia continuing to be the best selling market in Continental Europe. 19 of the 107 dealerships in the world are located in Europe, including the new St. Petersburg showroom.

Anyone fancy A Bathing Ape? Or BAPE in short. This Japanese fashion icon of a brand is one of the leaders in Japanese streetwear. The brand is like Fubu, Quicksilver or whatever trendy streetwise fashion you can think of out there. BAPE clothing is flashy, uses original artwork and uses posh materials. Favorite designs feature the famed and iconic ape (from Planet of the Apes) logo is used throughout the whole range of BAPE goodies, accessories, hoodies, jackets, t-shirts and shoes too. Of course, BAPE founder Tomoaki "Nigo" Nagao customizes his own cars to full BAPE specification too. Much to the dismay, shock or joy of others. According to Nigo, the founder of BAPE, the name "BAPE" is short for "A Bathing Ape In Lukewarm Water" which basically is a reference to Japanese people like taking daily long lukewarm baths as a means of over indulgence. Whatever that means, BAPE has made Nigo-San extreme rich. So rich that he recently (sometime mid 2009) spent a thick wad of cash to do a modernized take on the original 1950s Mercedes 300SL Gullwing but with a BAPE theme. The classic 1954 300SL has a BAPE camo paintjob, where you can see the head of the Ape as part of the camo pattern. It has an updated suspension running on current spec AMG rims. But the real piece de resistance is that 6.0liter V8 AMG custom made engine specced for the car. Check out the plaque that has been put on the car. The interior has been trimmed in red leather with some modern amenities like a stonking stereo system and modern air-conditioning. You wouldn
