"We have now begun the collecting of smiles for our next calendar edition. Singapore is amazing, quite hot and humid, but we are having wonderful time getting ready for the start, there are some really cool cars in this event, pictures will follow. Meeting up with all the people, old and new is really special and it is really great that Kim could join us for the pre rally festivities. Tonight is the pre rally dinner,  then it's off tomorrow morning. "

"Well here is where it all starts, Raffles Hotel in Singapore. So far all is good, still waiting too see when the car arrives, we are supposed to get it tomorrow. We have been invited to join the old car club of Singapore for an evening cruise through the city and dinner afterwards tomorrow evening, then a day of provisioning and we will be off. It is quite pleasant here but quite humid. We have taken in some of the sights here and are thoroughly enjoying ourselves so far. Take care, more ramble and pictures to follow."
