Hi all,

I'm the president of the rx8 club malaysia and we were thinking of meeting up our neighbours. Probably a track day or convoy event. We may drive down to singapore first in the next month or so. A big gathering of both clubs should be an attractive event.

I had the pleasure of meeting up with the president and committee of the celica club in singapore and they have all come down to sepang for the super gt yesterday.

you can reply in our post at the malaysia rx8 club database.

Cheers

Marcus

good idea, but i suggest we do it over weekends as weekdays many will be tied down by commitments.

Friday nites, saturdays or sundays will be good!! we can then gather for a huge photoshoot!!!!

lennon

Of course, weekends will be the best. We will be able to meet with the variety modded RX8s and owners from Singapore. At the same, scout around JB for any RX8!!!! :p

Neon

Or we can all gather at GP for a sprint or 2?

coupe07

yah yah... I second. heh, heh... very the PR pro. Marcus, RX-8 Club SG doesn't have a committee coz everyone is too "keh ki" (polite). We "run" the club democratically. For now, you can lias with any of the regulars here and we'll get the message out among ourselves. You can start with coupe07 if you like and if he doesn't mind.

theshortshortman

Thanks all for the reply.

Just my suggestion, i think coupe 7 should be the president coz some of you are voting for it unless coupe 7 disagrees. I will be organizing a trip with all of the rx8 members here and we need info on things like...

1) do we still need the ERP?
2) if yes, how much to rent it now?
3) will anyone from rx8 singapore club, escort us from the causeway to our hotel? (coz we ain't good with the roads there)
4) and the program with all the members for 2 days trip. (probably makan place and etc)

We appreciate the feed back and i will be in touch with coupe 7 shortly.

Cheers

Marcus

i dun mind, but my day job requires me to run around everyday or station in office regularly. I can be very free for one day, but very tight on another day. So if it is within working hours, i'm afraid i'm not up to the task.....

so long as i'm free, of cos i wldnt mind. But i do hope u guys can get someone dat has more time and timing more stable...... cos scaly i last minute something crop up, then i cun meet u guys hor,.... then sipeh paiseh.......

i wldnt want such scenario to happen cos i noe its very frustrating for a foreigner to drive around without directions.....

anyway... let me noe wats gg to happen...

I guess to get a better picture, what would the Malaysian RX8 club want to see or do in Singapore. And how many people and cars will be coming down?

Daverx

yup....we need to have more details b4 we plan......

eg.. date, programme, no of pax....etc etc...

thanks...

Marcus, as there are quite a number of members in our SG club, it has been rather difficult to get a committee nominated. All the active members are very friendly and helpful so there has not been a need for specific committee positions and I doubt a committee will be formed until we really need to - like when we decide to register ourselves as a club/society.

You can get some information about driving into Singapore and ERP here:
http://www.lta.gov.sg/motoring_matte...ring_guide.htm

I presume you guys will try to make a trip here over the weekend? You can save on vehicle entry permit (VEP) coz you don't have to pay VEP fees on Sat, Sun & P.H.

1) do we still need the ERP?
You probably don't need the ERP card reader because foreign registered cars can go through ERP gantries without a card reader (you will be charged a fixed $5 ERP fee per day on your Autopass card when you leave SG). However, most carparks in SG are now Cashcard/ERP based. So I don't know if it will allow you to enter by using a Cashcard or Autopass. Either that or we try to avoid Cashcard/ERP system car parks (quite hard tho).

2) if yes, how much to rent it now?
The cost of renting an ERP In-vehicle Unit (IU) is S$5.05 per day, subject to a minimum of S$10.10. You will also need to pay a refundable deposit of S$122.30 (inclusive of GST). Bear in mind that if you have an IU in your car, the appropriate ERP charges apply when you drive through an ERP gantry. You will not be under the fixed $5 ERP fees per day scheme.

3) will anyone from rx8 singapore club, escort us from the causeway to our hotel?
I'm sure that can be arranged.

4) and the program with all the members for 2 days trip. (probably makan place and etc)
Let us know when you are planning to make the trip and roughly what you all would like to do in Singapore. Then we can see how best to host your trip to Singapore.
