As you can probably see, this video is not from Houston. I know I’ve only just uploaded 3 videos from the US, but I wanted to be done with these videos too. This is from my vacation this summer. I went to Malaysia, India and Singapore. I saw nice cars in India, but not neccessarily anything exotic, and in Malaysia I saw a couple of exotics. But by far Singapore had most of the action. Now I do have videos from Singapore before, it’s probably one of my favourite cities in the world because of it being modern and colourful. And although people don’t really think of it as being a prime car spotting location, it is. And take this from someone who’s been to Dubai, its up there. I didn’t have much free time on the island, so all these spots in the video were seen in under 45 minutes. I understand some of the cars are considered ‘common’ such as the Bentleys and Quatrroportes, but I was trying to capture everything I could in that short period of time. This was all filmed in the Orchard Lane area, where my hotel was. And I know this compliation isn’t that long, but again its to do with how much time I had. Other cars I saw in SIngapore but missed are: Lamborghini LP560-4 Porsche GT3’s/Gt2’s (I saw loads of them) Maserati Granturismo Nissan GTR That’s about it, and sorry about the quality of some of the videos and photos, a few of the spotted cars quickly flew by me and I had to pull my camera out and get a shot or get nothing.
