The last few years I have been planning driving trips to USA and Australia, quite hectic and taking alot of efforts to put together. So this coming year decided to take a breather before another epic USA trip in 2026. Then out of nowhere, this short clip popped out and piques my interest: I took some efforts to find out more about this train to Lhasa. In brief, the train departs from Xining spanning 2000km and taking about 21.5hrs, costing about RMB800 per way for 4-berth soft-sleeper. However as you need to apply for permit to enter Tibet, best let the tour company assist to book both the train tickets and Tibet permit for you. But I found out that there are also other train packages that can take you from major cities such as ChongQing, Beijing, Shanghai, Guan Zhou, etc, etc, with Xining to Lhasa as the core component of the trip. So my intention is to fly to either Beijing or Guang Zhou to take the train rides to Lhasa, spent a few nights in Lhasa, then take the scenic train back to the city and spend a few days jalan around before flying back to Singapore. Currently I am thinking of Guang Zhou with 53hrs train time haha. https://www.tibettravel.org/tibet-train/xining-to-lhasa-train.html And there are also other train rides in China that are very scenic, taking passengers through beautiful terrains, which I am also considering with one departing from Fuzhou heading to Hefei with stops at Huang Shan.. As never recall anyone here sharing on such trips, I would like to ask around if anyone here has embarked on such trips before? I have come across many Youtube videos and experience seems quite positive. And would be good also if you feel motivated to take on such rides haha. Feel free to contribute. I would not be moderating, just putting out awareness that such trips are easy to put up and embark. If I were to go on such trip by end of the year, I am sure to do some sharing. This is another video from Beijing to Lhasa with some mention about high altitude sickness and that the trains provide such facility:

At a quick glance, I thought that was a Peugeot... Another SUV-nised product in the automotive scene. The fifth generation Renault Scenic has been revealed as an all-electric people mover bearing the E-Tech badge and sitting on the same CMF-EV platform as the Renault Megane E-Tech and Nissan Ariya European compact EVs. Set to be built at Renault’s Douai ElectricCity Factory, the all-new Scenic E-Tech will reach dealerships on the Old Continent at the beginning of next year with a choice of two zero-emissions powertrains, both powered by LG nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) batteries. The Standard range version comes with a front-mounted electric motor that makes 125 kilowatts (170 horsepower) and 280 Newton-meters of torque and draws juice from a 60-kilowatt-hour battery pack that can offer over 420 kilometers of driving range (in the WLTP cycle). DC fast charging can be done at up to 130 kW, the 0 to 100 kilometerper hour sprint is achieved in 9.3 seconds, and the top speed is 150 kilometers per hour for this trim. The High range Scenic E-Tech comes with a more potent motor that makes 160 kW (220 hp) and 300 NM of torque, all while receiving electrons from a bigger, 87 kWh pack that enables an estimated range of over 620 km on the WLTP cycle. DC fast charging is possible at up to 150 kW in this case, the sprint to 100 kmph takes 8.4 seconds, while the top speed is 170 kph. With this being said, both variants can be charged on AC power at up to 22 kW.

So I got lucky and managed to win the grand prize for the recent Sonax workshop event held on Renault premises. The top prize was a weekend drive-away with the prize winning Grand Scenic. MCF organisers requested a thread on the weekend drive-away and I was happy to oblige. Just wondering if anyone has questions on this 7 seater model, I may be able to help answer some questions as I explore the ride this weekend. Current ride is a smallish Hyundai i30 wagon, so this is a different category for me, although I did come from a Mazda 5 not too long ago. A more complete review will be attempted, but first up some specs. Renault Grand Scenic Type - MPV 7 seater (midsize MPV) Engine - Diesel 1.5 litre Turbo dCI (Auto) ; Euro 6 BHP - 110; Torque - 260 NM Extras - full size glass roof (standard on Grand Scenic) Seats - full leather, one-touch foldable system via rear and front display panel Wheels - 195/55/20 with 20 inch rims Weight - 1.5 tons Length - 4.6 m; Height - 1.6 m 0 -100 km/h : 13.2 seconds Luggage space - 233/596 (3rd row folded)

Wondering if anyone in this forum has Renault Grand Scenic (latest Gen4) with 2-channel dashcam installed & which authorized shop you had it installed. Im asking coz my SE told me Wearnes Automotive stopped installing rear camera due to leaking issue after installing.

May want to upgrade to a MPV for my next ride and am considering this 4 mid-size conti diesel-powered Cat A MPV which I have viewed them all but couldnt made up my mind. Reason for going Diesel is because I figured out over a distance of 100k km, the saving in pump cost is much greater as compared to the higher road tax which I may have to pay for a diesel-powered 1.6L MPV (making comparison with mid-size petrol powered MPV like Wish/Mazda 5). Furthermore, driving up North is something which i seldom do. Based on personal observation, Touran is the one which i spotted most often on the roads (though they may be the petrol variant and not neccessary the diesel variant) Any views from current owners or anyone who has an opinion? I'm trying to guess which MPV is the best value for money or best bang for bucks over a period of say 8yrs.

Trollstigen, is a serpentine mountain road in Norway - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trollstigen We stopped at the port of Alesund, Norway, while on a cruise. That day was a long cruise stop day, so there was time for us to rent a car, which we did in advance. Originally we were supposed to get a Toyota Prius equivalent. We were given a complimentary upgrade to a BMW 520d Touring model, so good for me. Driving to the Troll Road and back was fun. The hairpin turns look scary, but they were not difficult at all. In fact, I think it is more challenging to drive up to Genting. Nevertheless, the experience was fun. Here is a video I made of the adventure to Trollstigen. Driving down the hairpin turns start at the 8:32 mark. Some more information on the blog post, for all those interested. http://guitar123foodandtravel.blogspot.sg/2014/07/adventure-of-seas-day-9-alesund-part-1.html The BMW 520d Outside a Shell station. The hairpin turns, from the lookout. Not that hard, just drive slowly.

Yesterday i jogged/walked along the park connectors next to the canal from Bradell Rd Bridge (next to Delgro depot) all the way passed PIE near St Andrew School there and ended up at Bendemeer Bridge.... the connectors are shady and as it was hightide, the water was full to the brim.... i could imaging pple having those Oxford/Cambridge, or Yale/Harward row-boat race down the canal, or dragon boats race it was quiet and i met only a few mei mei joggers, a few cyclists, few old men resting/smoking at the benches.... didnt know sgp still has such idylic spots one part has HUDC flats behind some matured trees on the other side of the canal..... very tranquil and peaceful (potong pasir estate) Anyone knows other such park connectors which have some old-charm and relaxed atmosphere? I ever cycled from Pasir Ris park to tampines town centre using the connectors.... not bad but as the estates are newer, so the feel is different
