CAR-Nival 2008

Just some photos from the CATS Classified event held on last Sunday. Admission was free.

Unlike other car exhibition shows, this one is for exhibitors to sell products. So no concept cars but instead, cars and accessories that people can buy for the roads.

Besides that, the event is also meant as a family event, with plenty of activities and freebies for kids.

Of course there were the car babes to entice visitors to buy the cars.

Super Import Nights

Went to take a look at the exhibition at Singapore Expo on Sunday. Things I liked:

• Really nice airbrush paint jobs
• The really ah beng zhng-ing of the cars
• The unfunctional modifications like the plexi-glass bonnet
• Furry dashboards and sports rims
• Cao ah beng blue neon and strobe lights
• A complete home entertainment system built into the back of a MPV, got XBox some more
• American Import Models showed us what is real event models.
• 2 vendors brought in Hummer for show.

Disappointed at:

• There wasn't a lot of anything. Not a lot of cars, not a lot of zhng-ed cars. Not a lot of vendors. Not a lot of special cars.
• Lack of innovation in the zhngs
• Nothing near the innovation as seen on Pimp My Ride
• The mountains of restrictions that prevented the zhng team to come up with more over-the-top creations.

Some funny observations:

• People were really there to see the American Import Models, and there were a lot of chee ko peks, young and old also have.
• The men flock to the models like Flies to rubbish bees to honey.
• The emcee referred to all the men with cameras as "professional photographers"... Yeah, right.
• The local event models are always the same ol' same ol, and not very pretty...
• Put the "foreign talent" and our "local pride" and you will see that we are still eons away.

Oh yah, more photos here.
