how to spend a couple of hours outside without spending too much? in singapore that's pretty good a challenge i must say. but of course we did it just today!
after taking our lunch, we headed down to Leng Kee Road down at Alexandra. so how did we entertain ourselves? by acting like we can afford it and went around looking at cars! kekeke... it was fun to explore all the new models of course! i even got a chance to take 2 cars on to the road for a test drive! we actually visited the car showrooms for VolksWagen, Mini, Peugeot and Mitsubishi!
However because of the crowds, we only managed to test drive 2 vehicles. the Mini Cooper and the Peugeot 307SW! not too bad bah...
actually i'd told the sales person that i'd wanted to try the 307CC but unfortunately they don't allow test driving for that model. so the closest match in engine performance is the SW version. no matter, it was still quite a sweet ride behind the wheels. the sunroof was opened and we could see through its glass top! the demonstration in the showroom on the coupé cabriolet was quite fantastic too, with the roof extending and retraction shown to us. if i can afford it i'd probably have made the purchase then! but i can't... haha...
then as for the mini cooper, i think rach was probably more interested in the sales girl and her accessories than the car... although rach does like the mini very much. the sales was pretty friendly and the test drive turned out to be quite a fun ride indeed! the cooper is a 1.6L model (in fact all their models except for the One are 1.6L in engine capacity) had rather good response and the engine sounded smooth with relatively good performance. the sales actually even said that i was too gentle with the car. i guess i was just too polite even in these situations.
the day was made all the more enjoyable with rach by my side... =D
