"Speaking as somebody working in Singapore this week, the sound bouncing off the buildings was something else.
Mind you, so were the hotel prices.
They're dismantling it all remarkably quickly, which is a bit weird as well.

"@layabout: @amblito:
Is it just me, or is it true that no X5 has been registered in the UK without a personalised number plate?

I was going to ask why they did that, but there's probably no need."
"Project Fairground Hell.
Picture a carousel, except instead of gaily painted equine carvings rythmically going round and round and up and down to the sound of the merry calliope, you have 16 groups of confused and crying children being made sick in the confines of wildly gyrating and incredibly smelly French motor cars.
Alternatively, slice off the roofs and use them as dodgems."
"@TR3-A: The MGB GT V8 had the Buick 3.5, as fitted to a number of Rover vehicles.
Unfortunately, the one that they built was the one tuned for the original Range Rover, so ended up being not much improvement on the MGC.
Wasted opportunity right there.
This particular car is commendable in its own right.
But, IMHO, is so far removed from feeling or looking like and MGB that the bodyshell is almost immaterial.
Great car, but probably shouldn't be called an MGB."
"@JimtheNomad: "...the first time you drive a Ferrari is like the first time you make love to a woman..."
Years of anticipation leading to 2 minutes of frantic excitement, closely followed by your apologies and the receding echo of mocking laughter?"
