Hi S'porean PHers,
I'd like to know if some of you could be motivated by the development of a 100 % electrical car here in Singapore.
Cheers
Pre-emptive edit p Trimix - just saw some of your previous posts ... if you have anything even remotely relating to a kit car ... even the vague look of a kit car (No TVR's after the Tamsin ever got type approved here as they were thought to be Kit Cars because they were GRP) iyou will NEVER get it type approved here. Feel free to read the rest of my illiterate ramblings - as we were I'd like to know if some of you could be motivated by the development of a 100 % electrical car here in Singapore.
Cheers
[-]First[/i] Secondly Sir may i warn you that this is Pistonheads ... we don't realy do electric cars .... Secondly i pray that you are not going to suggest a GWizz...
To be honest it would not work here i don't think as Singapore is not particularly eco concious, and more status driven. The average Chinese driver here wants a large car for status, as a mate of mine once said (and no offence to any Singaporean here .... )
- I drive a Merc S Class, its big and German, everyone else is scum!
- I drive a Toyota Camray, its big and Japanese, everyone else is scum!
- I drive a Subaru Impreza, its fast and Japanese, everyone else is scum!
- I drive a Kia Katpoo, I have a car, everyone else is scum!
- I drive a Proton, I am Malaysian, Singaporeans are Scum
even hybrids are rare as proverbial rocking horse whotsit.
If you could get one that looks like a large car, has a good brand, and can get the LTA to wave road tax / COE then you would probably be onto a winner ... but to get all that ... tough.
Plus, there is no existing infrastructure to charge them.
And finally on retrospect of reading your previous posts - sounds like a cool idea, but TBH i cannot see Singa being a good target audience untill you get a brand. Honkers may be a good target though ....
made a pigs ear of this havent i ....

So true and seems to be the same in HK as well.
Hey, what's with my thread being hijacked 
Anyway, back to the point. Stuck in Blighty at the moment. Was in Cape Town a few weeks ago but not quite the same thing. May be back next month some time but unfortunately it keeps getting pushed back. Still plan to do 28 day rotations from approx. January though

Look forward to seeing you then .... 28 in and 28 out?? for how long? Singa Imigration can start to get a tad arsey over too many repeat entries like that without a suitable EP. Would probably be tax beneficial to be on a singa payrole too .... Just one to check with your Probably up to and including sea trials on the vessel next autumn. Hopefully may even get a job in Singapore/KL/Batam then.
My erstwhile employer (sorry, client, being a day rate bast*rd) should sort all permits out correctly, he says hopefully. I really need to spend as much time as possible in Singapore come March (assuming the ship keeps to schedule) so may be looking at 4 and 2 or something. Can't spend all my time there as Mrs x200sxy runs her own TCM business (she's from Shanghai)/our daughter has just started school/there's a large hound to look after.
As an aside it's a rare beautiful warm sunny day in Aberdeen so the XJS has come out to play.

Only issue is that you can't bring the jag here and you probably don't want to know that road tax for a V12 would be around GBP3.5k a year anyway!!!
Edit - just saw that you have the 6 pot so about GBP2.8k ...
Nice motor!!!

TCM - yes, know there is good TCM in Singapore so that's not a problem.
The school looks OK on its website with fees comaprable to what I pay here (none of that state school malarkey for my bundle of joy).
The dog would have to go back to the racing kennel she came from.
Car - I'd just have to grin and bear it I suppose!
Sorted
Now, must get on with the ship's dive system plumbing arrangment.

Would have though that there is a good traditional meds business here and whats wrong with setting the nipper loose at Chatsworth??
