welcome welcome to jb. i hope u guys stick to the date viz 2nd week of september. if possible, please don't do it on 4th week lah coz motogp in sepang is on 25th of september..... i'm going to sepang during that time.

anyway, spore bmw tt in sept is on 25th of september (sunday) at kallang. if u guys want to coincide with spore bmw tt, then what 2 do, 25th of september lorr....... usually ppl start coming around 4.30pm for the tt.

if want to lepak in jb, ftz is ok but parking place sucks. there are better places with ample parking spaces in jb.

to enter spore, better use 2nd link. if it's jam, the jam usually does not take a long time unlike the jam at tambak johor. make sure u have valid passport. n road tax on ur windscreen is enuff to enter spore. no need 2 bring ur insurance cover note. but better bring lah just in case accident happens.

to enter spore thru 2nd link, we will go thru 2 tolls booth in johor. the first one is in perling, it costs u rm1.80 per entrance. but for jb ppl, we usually go thru alternative way thru bukit indah----> no need to pay toll. by-pass the perling toll.

ok, then the 2nd toll is just b4 the msia custom, it is rm8.40 per entrance.

then, enter spore, u need to buy autopass card. in order to buy the autopass card, the spore custom want to see ur valid roadtax.

no need to buy IU ok. what is IU? don't ask. just remember, msian cars do not need IU anymore.

autopass card is SD10. SD6 is the price of the card n SD4 is the amount u use to pay 'everything' in spore. then u have to top up ur autopass card. where n how? if i'm there, i'll do it for u guys....... but money comes from u guys wallet lorr.....

to enter spore thru 2nd link, the toll is SD3.20 per entrance. when u leave spore thru 2nd link, u pay SD3.20 again. then u have to pay VEP (vehicle entry permit) in order to enter spore. it costs u SD20 per day. but if u enter spore on saturday or sunday, VEP is waived (ie: no need to pay lorr). no need to pay vep but the toll sd3.20 still must pay.

so, that's it lah. if god permits, i can lead u guys to kallang...... or to autovox (authorised dealer for breyton)... z-mevius brake system is also available nearby the area......

any problems, can contact me (012-7526286 or 02-8121-2869) or robert (016-7266635 or 012-7977178)

chao......

me will be going to spore tt tomorrow. ghostrider, u must come ok.....

lastly, thankx for having the intention to come down to jb. we, jb guys will make sure u guys have a great time in southern area.....

**jyazid... have u bought the monitoring system? u know what i mean.....

 

[Ghostrider-SG]

IU stands for Incar Unit. Its a little cash register that the SG gov install in our blardy ride...when it goes "beep"...you are a dollar or a few dollars poorer. Think of it like something like your SmartTAG that you guys use on the NS H'way.

Topping up of Autopass, there are a few method.

1) Just before checkpoint in Woodlands or Tuas (Johor and 2nd link) there is a Autopass topup booth. Just hand over the cash with a SGD 0.50 surcharge and the guys will topup the card for you.

2) All 7-11 islandwide in SG. I know they have a surcharge...but dunno how muchie.

Eddie...I will wait for you !! Make sure you show up !!

For those JB brudders, before you come out of your house, you may want to use the traffic cams to check the traffic.

To check for Woodlands traffic condition

http://onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotor...amera/tuas.html
For 2nd Link

Sample of the pic (its in real time)

Another thing....traffic police in SG have new toys

1) Laser Cams
2) WRX and Volvo S40 H'way Patrol cars

Dun speed....their threshold is 20kmh above limit only. Anything that you exceed...they will book you. Fines starts from SGD 150 onwards. Please don't contribute to the TP "I need higher year end bonus fund".

There will be static speedcams on H'way too. This static cams are active ones...not dummies. Dun try them. Look out for hugh blue signboards warning you of the speedcam operation area...and dun follow cars infront of you too close when you are in these areas....idoits are know to jam their brakes and slow down to WAY BELOW SPEED LIMITS at these places.

thanks for the concise and timely reminder, very kind of u to write this whole thing up

 

[Ghostrider-SG]

Just to add...for those with GPRS phone, you may want to add this to your bookmark.

www.onemotoring.com.sg/wap

This will enable you to check for traffic conditions using your GPRS enable mobile phone. Navigate to "camera" and you will be able to see the images just like the one I posted above.

Can someone in JB/SG confirm that prices for causeway toll on 2nd link will be increased effective July 1?

Tip:
E46 325i will consume approx RM50 worth of petrol from KLCC to last (Esso) petrol station in JB near 2nd link causeway - with spirited driving at an average of 120km/h. Adjust accordingly if you have a 318i or a 765Li V12 or if you plan on doing below 110km/h (pfft - yah right!)

KL/Seremban toll all the way to 2nd Link will take approx RM50 from your Touch N Go. There is no Tambah ("reload") lane on the way back from 2nd Link to KL. So be prepared with at least RM100 loaded or reload at KL/Seremban toll on the way south.

Fill up your immigration form before entering SG.

No alcohol, drugs, gum, yadayada into SG.

Someone listed some favourite speed trap spots along PLUS quite some time ago. It would be a good time to dig it up. Now where is that...?

 

[Ghostrider-SG]

Dunno if this is gonna help...some SG guys compile this. IMHO...too much details for general SG motroist to digest....is it accurate ?? Dunno.....cos I still got shot 3X on the way to Pahang !!

I have spoken to Ryan (BMW.SG boss) and he said that once confirm a date, he will shift the date to suit you guys.

So let me know once its comfirm and we will paint SG blue and white !! Roundel RULEZ !!

 

[affan66]

feel like going. I just came back from SG a couple of hours ago.

KL -> SG took me 3 hours
and
SG -> KL took me 4 hours.
*wink*
Stay at the nicer hotels, they have ample parking and security is good. After that, wanna go shopping we go by cab or MRT. I have no problems doing that the last weekend.

Best is to take second link. You guys have already got it covered on the ERP, VEP and stuff.

oh btw, my VEP expires this 1st July. I need to get it transferred and I heard it takes a while.

Note: You get 10 free days/year on the VEP starting 1st June. Make sure you bring your road tax counterfoil when you first apply for the VEP. I strongly recommend you to also stop at the last R & R (Gelang Patah) and fill it up to the brim as gasoline is picey in SG.

i was at the checkpoint for only 15 minutes. Saturday around 8.15am. Only a few cars there. My VEP already topped-up. Passports are ready with forms signed. (through Tuas).

I did not dare touch 200km/h now I drove MUCH LESS than that.

Back to topic... I might join.

 

[eddiefiola]
