question - was your enjoyment of mountain biking and cars not factored into your move to singapore? sounds like a massive faf to enjoy your hobbies

Have you considered buying a track car/ drift car/ time attack car/ racing kart/ motorbike and just doing trackdays for your sped fix while you're there? The 911 just seems like it would be hard to enjoy given the costs...
Alternatively do they have some sort of Classic Car Hire club there where you can just shell out a day rate to zip around in someone else's motor? I appreciate your perfectionism would balk at the shortcomings of other peoples cars but imagine how much worse that 911 will be by the time it gets the Dammit treatment?
One other question... if you export the 911 after the eight years and brought it home to UK would you get a big tax rebate from SG government or no?

The go-to Taxi service is called Grab, and it's very reasonable - $25 dollars gets you almost anywhere. That does make car ownership look even sillier, but if you have a bike then no taxi will take you. There are specific bike taxi services, but there are only a handful of them and they get booked up well in advance for busy times/when a sudden tropical thunderstorm rolls in.
Only Bromptons may be taken on public transport as there are strict size limits on what can be and cannot go - folding bikes that only fold once are too large, Bromptons double fold gets them under the size limit. The frame of a mountain bike is too long, so even if you break the bike down it's not allowed.
I've been quite tempted by a Honda N Van, as they're fun little vehicles - but, $170,000 upwards, which for a Kei Van (and, when a 911 is 30k away) I just can't bring myself to do.
