The biggest show on wheels!

Yes indeed the biggest show on wheels has stopped by the Adelaide Showgrounds on the 28th March 2007 and left on the 31st of March 2007. We went on the 31st. It cost AU$11 for students. We talked on the tram and got off the wrong stop. We followed the scent of exotic cars and fresh rubber. Nah, we had a map.

Just like all motor shows, you will at least see cars, tires, seats, steering wheels, registration forms and goodie bags. The three of us decided to make our AU$11 worth, we couldn't steal car but we could grab as much goodie bags as we can! We looted posters, a Nissan calendar, some bags, plastic bags, and jelly beans from Suzuki. I will probably say the jelly beans were the best at that time because I was desperately in need of something to eat. Dinner was just too far away.

Singapore's motor show just had cars. I do not remember motorcycles, but they did feature some ancient mercedes benz. The Adelaide Motorshow not only had cars, they had motorcycles, utility vehicles, hot rods, a playground, and an artificial 4WD test track!

Where can you find these in Singapore?

Can the suspensions take it?!

Nissan Pathfinder ready for launch.

The track was simply awesome. It had pot holes, humps, a pile of small stones, big rocks, a 45 degree up and down slope, and another item which I do not know the name of it. We were hesitant and scared to go register for it, wondering if we have to wait for a long time or do we have to pay. When we viewed everything, we headed back to the test track. Found out from the lady at the registration counter that the queue time was dependant on which vehicle. While thinking of what vehicle to hop on, she said, "The Pathfinder currently doesn't have anyone queuing, do you guys want to go for it?" "YEA SURE!! (Hehehe)" I replied. What a great experience. No waiting, enjoy the ride, went round the track twice. Heh. Plus I have most of it on tape. :)

Another interesting thing was this,

100 times more shiok than the arcade driving games!

I really felt like going for it but the queue was just too long. Stomach was hungry. I will play the real thing when I come back.

We had a lot of fun just sitting in cars, talking about cars and also looting the freebies. Ian worked in a car modifications workshop before and has extensive knowledge on cars. All of us like some vehicle or another so there is never ending chatting plus Ian's jokes and style of talking is hilarious.

Chinatown was calling us for dinner. We left the place with happy faces.

The dumb person taking the picture probably shook a bit. Not scolding anyone but it was really another crash dummy taking the picture for us.

Next issh! Back to the essentials of survival! Food! E'nuff said!
