Car Sighting: Gleaming Porsche In Black

Even when stationary this gleaming Porsche exudes power and speed. Its gleaming body, stylish wheels and standout lime green brake calipers compelled me to stop for a photoshoot.

That was a breathtaking encounter without the need to go for a drive.

Car sighting: Carmine Red Porsche Boxster

This morning, the sighting of this carmine red Porsche Boxster made my day. I was reaching the end of the carpark when I caught sight of it. The sun was out and this well polished marque was radiating crisp redness which contrasted perfectly with its charcoal black retractable roof, side grilles, rims and tyres.

I was so engrossed to take the best shots when the owner, Christopher Goh, appeared out of nowhere and asked, "What happened?" That was a good ice-breaker, and he shared how much he loves getting behind the wheel of this Boxster.

Christopher graciously waited for me with nary a sign of hurry as I completed the impromptu photoshoot.

Car sighting: Porsche 718 Cayman S

It was such a good omen to catch sight of this rare and gleaming pink-black Porsche 718 Cayman S on a Wednesday morning.

Matchbox Vehicles with Moving Parts

One of the unique feature of some Matchbox diecast cars is that they have moving parts like doors, bonnet (hood) and boot (trunk). 

The downside to this is that the moveable parts are more susceptible to accidental damage when moved frequently. 

The following is a sample which looks great even when the moving parts are kept under wrap.
