I cry for Maserati

Yes, Please shed a tear for Maserati, the passing of a GREAT car maker ..
okay, not really a great car maker, maybe a great car designer.

Maserati was an independent Italian sports car maker which did terrific cars but things didn't quite work out for them , nor for the italian car industry. While their sports car were really sexy and drives like satan is chasing them, their quality wasn't what the consumers were prepared to tolerate.
Their prices and spare parts were notoriously expensive and almost impossible to get.
A wing mirror cost $3000 and takes 6 months by air ( your car sits in the garage waiting 6 months for a wing mirror ! )

Anyway, now the name Maserati is still alive but the new owners has changed everything.
This here is the latest MASERATI GRAND TOURISMO...........a car that is a blend of BMW mated a Toyota Celica...perhaps the build and quality has improved.....but the appeal was certainly been watered down.......almost like any other "me too" cars out there

I am going slideshow crazy :)

very cool but a bit over the top

Wedding of Oksana and Richard

This is a wonderful love story. I would never cease to be amazed by how this worked out.

Oksana is from Kazakhstan while Richard is Jamaican from United Kingdom. They met while working in Kazakhstan and live briefly in Teheran.Yes, TEHERAN, Iran ...They both speak English and Persian. Imagine that.....

Here are two people , totally apart culturally and background. Meet half way around the way.......fell in love .........in spite of language , culture, religion,food....all the things that could be different. ( while some of us can't get along with our neighbours )

They got married in Singapore since they have been posted here.

Here's some pictures of their wonderfully warm wedding, at Sentosa, Cafe del Mar.

Cafe del Mar is a nice place to chill out, but not so great for weddings.

Oksana is a beautiful bride.
