One of the grandest private car shoot-meets we have co-hosted with our partner-in-crime, Carousell Motors along with other major sponsors, was concluded over a weekend in November, and what a journey it has been, with almost five months of lead planning time for the massive Singapore Honda Vezel / HR-V Club.

Undoubtedly the most recognisable crossovers on our sunny island, 100 car owners participated in this ambitious formation at the Singapore F1 pit straight. A separate drive-in photobooth overlooking Gardens by the Bay's duo domes was assembled to capture each and every uniquely customised ride as they enter the invite-only premise, donned by three amazing and professional racequeens - Abby, Chrissa and Vanessa who smiled tirelessly for every photo.

The very efficient planning team of club #SHVHC made our job a breeze. We managed to shoot in record time, 1-minute per car at the photobooth that includes 3 different angles - quarter front & back and owner's posed shot with racequeens. A feat that will become our benchmark for future meets of this scale.

Watch the after-video.

Ten is a great number here because all ten of these splendid Honda Civic Type Rs are renewed for another good ten years on our roads. As much as we wished to admire the cars a little longer, it was not easy shooting in the dim environment of Gardens by the Bay. We had to mix a few different lighting techniques to shoot both the ride and talent. Averaging around four exposures per car, we were at the mercy of time to complete all ten of them in three hours.

Once again, the unwavering support from our partner Carousell Motors has made this shoot meet possible. #honda #fd2r #sgcarshoot #singapore

When car enthusiasts gather, the common denominator is respect. The love of cars, the camaraderie and sharing of banter. This car club named themselves N2ZS - read "En-thu-si-ast". Together with Carousell Motors, we hosted a "Pizzas 'n' Cars" shoot session for them. An after video was also filmed.

2017 marks a prodigious 8 years since the car group “Sembakakis (38One Team)” was born. You may wonder why the name? The group started with like-minded Honda Fit/Jazz owners who were residing in the northern part of Singapore - Sembawang, which explains why they named themselves “Semba-kakis”. 38One is simply a direct translation from Chinese.

Regular meetups for coffee sessions, stripping of car bumpers, sharing of “poison” became a weekly affair for the group. The interest group developed strong friendship over time and soon the meetups were no longer only limited to car modifications. From dinner to movies, from house visits to holidays, from car parks to tracks, they have done it all.

8 years is definitely not a short time and it’s with great effort that the group stays well connected over the years despite the hectic work and family commitments. Like most car enthusiasts, changing of ride is inevitable in our COE controlled country. Therefore the group has currently mostly got different rides but their friendship stays strong.

Rides now within the group:
Leslie (Honda Vezel)
Alan (BMW 1 series Coupe)
Eric (Honda Accord)
Cheryl (BMW Z4)
Joseph (Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X)
William (Mercedes C-class)
Lenard (Honda Civic)
Frank (Honda Civic Type R)
Adrant (Kia K3)
Kevin (Honda Accord)

This Pizzas 'n' Cars shoot meet in collaboration with us and Carousell Motors for Team Sembakakis is certainly a highlight of their 8 years, and marks a milestone event for them. We wish them forever friends!
