Smile Where are your twisty stretches?

Dear Members,

As I live in the East I find the following pretty enjoyable:

1) Joining the ECP at the end of PIE towards the city
2) Joining the ECP at the end of Xilin Avenue
3) Looping around the southern end of Cargo Road

Share you little secret?

Paya Lebar - stretch under construction. Periodic "track" updates.
Off CTE, turn under Chin swee bridge. Hard right, left and hard right.
Some road behind everton park towards world trade centre
Uphill and downhill mt faber.
South Bouna vista road

Some more but cannot remember. I do not condone reckless driving; only do whats safe and not push it. End of the day, the one with the biggest ***** have the smallest ego and a hefty bill.

Start line at upper thomson road traffic light after the Longhouse hawker centre. Upon one geen light (no such thing as five green lights there), hit accelerator and launch up overpass going by Mt Alvernia Hospital, uphill curve tilting to the left in the direction of Mediacorp and Adam Road, winding uphill and downhill all the way along Adam Road, past McRitchie Reservoir and SICC Bukit.

Then up the overpass at Farrer Road (stretch under construction, occasional chicanes appear now and then) and pick up speed through the tunnel to Queenstown. Track ends at Queenstown traffic light where you can see the MRT line.

Bonus stage is when the traffic light at Queenstown is green then you can extend the track all the way up to the road merging with the AYE, then its zoom-zoom on AYE until TP catch you and give you 12 points for speeding.

Nice long and winding roads with a wide choice of speeds.

Neo tio Rd...fair amt of twist wif approximately 3 bends thats above the 90
degree angle...rd is narrow n challenging wif juz the amt of space for 2 veh to pass thru...
deep drainage wif no cover over them n no railing to prevent u from falling in...but a view
that resembles the mountain rds in Best Motoring...

Come to think of it; the remaining of Ponggol road leading right up to the straits is sufficiently narrow and decorated with nice green foliage of either side. For a moment (very short ) you think not you're in spore!

But seriously, set your cruise control (aka right foot) within your own safety limits....Cheers.

I love roundabout. Traffic lights waste time. The only reason why roundabouts do not work well in SG is because of some dumb-fu*ked driver who cannot drive in lane or shithe*ds who are so damn inconsiderate. Especially cabs, strangely they will never give way and always think they can out-rev out-turn out-brake everyone else.

Never had any problems with roundabouts in other countries.

I like to think all of US are responsible drivers and hence should not worry about TP. They have a job to do. Our job is to seek out the most pleasurable twist amongst our roads and do it sensibly n carefully.

There are many car clubs on this island. We the 8ight brothers and sista's should encourage 'mature' driving manners.

Minimise undercutting; minimise tail-gates; minimise use of fog-lites; minimise aggressive body language etc.

And smile always

Maybe we both need to go out and stretch our lungs but not now. Maybe after the final whistle!

Sometimes winning a race involves not only skill or more power. I think guts plays the biggest part.

During my crazy days, i never lost to anyone on the street. Why? I was crazy and have nor regard for any safety at all; mine or others. Luckily i am still alive and never had any accidents while racing; though some competitors did.

I was crazy but there was this guy who was crazier. But the late part of the story was he lost a leg.

Nowadays i restrain myself. Never race on the streets anymore. Its just dawn on me its actually a ridiculous thing to do. I drive fast at times but not till the point where it puts myself or others at risk. There is always a race track up north to compare whose ***** are bigger.
