Asahi Shimbun BMW-SG September Meetup
Last month’s meetup had journalist from the Asahi Shimbun coming down to talk to a few of our members and to take some photos of the clubl. A shoutout was posted on the forum for members to attend and the turnout on the day itself was simply superb. Big thanks to all members and to everyone who turned up. It is truely the people and not just the cars that make up the club.
Tentatively, the newspaper article will be published this friday, the 12th of October. (tentatively) Copies will be on sale at Books kinokuniya. It’s a daily paper, so grab it on the day itself.

BMW-SG Photoshoots/Meetups Weekend ( A short narrative on 2 days full of activities)
Phew! What a weekend it has been for the local BMW commnunity! 2 days worth of photoshoots, a late night meetup at Yishun Dam and the official end of the month gathering at Kallang all rolled into the short span of 2 days. It sure was hectic but it sure was great fun. Such enthusiasm in the club is something we all should be extremely proud of. From climbing up and down lorries to running around under the hot sun. We’ve couldn’t have done it without all of the members’ support. Big thanks to everyone for turning up and to everyone for sharing our passion.
Mitsubishi i (A small write-up)
If first impressions count, then this little car sure made a great big one on me when I first saw pictures of it and read about it online. Here’s a small 660cc kei-car wonderfully packaged with a rear-mishap engine layout pushing the rear wheels instead of the usual front-wheel drive system that every other kei-car uses. But of course, the greatest impression I had of this car was the styling. Here was a wonderfully styled car, which looks refreshing every time I look at it.
BMW-SG (August 2006)
So here i am, writing about the local unofficial BMW club. I’m probably not the best person to write about the club in general, having joined them only rather recently.
My experiences so far have been superb. A bunch of great people, and met many great friends. I’ve been getting more involved in the whole organsational part as well, right now, a number of events have happened and even more are coming up. We’ve had our fair share of morning and nightly drives. (safe driving of course!)
