I was just doing some research and work over the net when i came across this link: http://justelite.net/2006/11/03/japanese-car-tuning/585

Honestly i don’t know what to make of it. It looks cool but freaky at the same time. Can’t really imagine one of those older, self employed guys (ah Peh for my Singapore friends) driving one but hey, anything’s possible nowadays. Notice the last van, the red one. Hentai Otakus ultimate fantasy. Only one issue: How’s in Pete’s universe do you get them into multi-storey carparks without leaving your mark on the wall? *scratch head*

This brings me to a more practical purchase. Enter the Volkswagen Transporter Sportline. Nothing to do with the movie of the same name or the pretty Lai Kwai. This is a transverse, water cooled in line variable turbine geometry turbocharged bulldog that busts you off the road. With a torque strength of 200Nm /  2,000rpm I think a wise option would be to keep out of the way.  It has a face that says : Beware of the dog. Something you should know that might make you rub your eyes at the text: This vehicle comes with AWD. Yep, the system VW calls 4MOTION® all wheel drive system. It’s designed to maintain traction, offer stable road holding and increased safety when encountering poor surface conditions. 4MOTION® reacts to even the slightest wheel slip and distributes power and drive to the wheels with the most grip. Oh, I almost forgot the 30mm reduced Eibach suspension springs and 18″ special weight-rated Alloy wheels and front, side skirting. Now that is what i call freaky. Especially if this thing has tailgated you for the past 10 min.
