    - What is your preferred car brand?
    I lean towards Honda, but if I 'm going to purchase a new car right now I'd choose a Suzuki Jimny.

    - Do you participate in automotive events, if yes what are these events?
    Two years ago there was a presentation in the National Library of Singapore about the historic Sinagpore Grand Prix (held during the 60's and 70's). At the lobby there were vintage and classic cars on display.

    Ten years ago there was a gathering of Mini enthusiasts (in Singapore) to celebrate the Mini's 40th birthday.

    - What is your purpose for joining automotive events?
    To see fascinating machinery.

    To meet interesting people. At the National Library event, I had a chat with Rodney Seow, former race car driver in the Singapore Grand Prix. Racing then was more dangerous because of the rudimentary safey equipment. Mr. Seow lived through all that. His friend Filipino race car driver Dodjie Laurel was killed in the Macau Grand Prix.

    classic Mini
    Miata
    Mercedes W123 300D

    - Would a construction of an automobile museum entice enthusiasts to the car brand?
    Only enthusiasts who appreciate automobile history (technical and design).

    - What car brand would you like to be featured in the automobile museum and why?
    I prefer an automobile museum that's not limited to one brand.

    What I'd like to see in a museum:
    - Vintage cars (different brands)
    - Classic cars (different brands)
    - Cars of the stars (examples: the car in the Vilma Santos movie "Vilma and the Beep Beep Minica", jeepney ni Erap, Cadillac ni Fernado Poe)
    - Locally made cars (sports cars like the Conge and the BAR, past and present AUVs, utility cars like the Sakbayan, and the main attraction - the MVPMAP PHUV and the e-Jeepney)
    - Car wash with beautiful girls in bikinis. With a restaurant / pub house next to the car wash so men can ogle the ladies. You want the museum to be profitable, right?
