My Mates New Toy Just Arrived

[Swiper the Fox]

My mate just got his new toy delivered...its Yuey Tan's Changi Airport sponsored Porsche Cup car that famously raced and beat a Boeing 747 in a promotional race prior to last years Singapore Grand Prix (see link). Before purchasing he also got to test drive the car for 2 days at Sepang and cut 7 seconds of his lap times after recieving some expert tuition.

The car adds to an already impressive stable of rides including a mint Porsche Cup 996 (never raced only ever used by its Japanese owner for the occaisional track day) GTR R34, GTR R32 (11000klm on it), and four very low klm Mazda rotaries (R100, RX4 Savanna etc)

During his stay in Malaysia he made some very good contacts and is planning to take both Porsches back to Sepang and hold track days there for those with pockets large enough.

He will be doing the Drive Bathurst day later this year in the new car...bastard!!

Will upload some phone pic shots tonight.

It is depressing how much money there is over here in Singapore and also Malaysia. Such expensive and uber cool toys everywhere. Except for the pink R35 i saw on Wednesday that had a black roof drift style and had the most obvious mask lines from the respray.

Cant wait to do Sepang, just have to wait and hear what car a friend is organising for me , i would rather a punt of this thing

Brad said having two whole days at Sepang test driving the car was an absolute blast...he learnt so much from having as he put it "Asia's Jim Richards" sitting next to him. Having the 996 for two years was a suitable 'appertiser' for this car...which i would put as a dessert served as a main!

I am in Joo Chiat, so sms me your contact number while here. I would love to go to Malaysia this weekend but too busy with work...

Out of interest do you know what sort of times he got down to at Sepang? I am hunting around trying to find out what a good time is.
