BMW Night Drive 23rd April 2011

On Saturday 23rd of April, The online community BMW.SG organized a charity night drive to gather its members for a leisurely tour around Singapore, but also to help the Children's Charities Association.

The drive had an amazing response, with over 70 cars showing up at 9:30pm at the Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 carpark, their generous owners donating a whopping total of S$4,863.

After a speech from the Children Charities Association's Deputy Chairman, Ms. Arashin Santhana, and a itinerary briefing from the BMW.SG crew, the large group made its way back to their noble steeds and the long convoy hit the road, driving west to the first stop at Raffles Marina in Tuas. 

After the big group assembled, chatted and admired the cars, it was decided to hit the road again to head to the Big Splash at East Coast, thus the convoy drove off, heading east this time.

Arriving at destination, the BMW.SG group preyed on the carpark and enjoyed yet another relaxed break. It was decided, after about an hour that it was time to call it a night and most went back. On my side, I headed out with the SGTopless group which, as the name clearly hints, is mostly composed of convertibles, for an extended night drive that finished around 4am, read more about it here.

What impressed me the most about the BMW.SG and SgTopless communities, is that the very next day, on the Sunday 24th, some of them still showed up for the BMW.SG monthly meetup at Kallang Leisure Park.

Albeit smaller in number than the previous night, some of the car lovers made it to the gathering for more car talk. That's what I call a real dedication to the motoring World and to the driver's community!

Kudos to BMW.SG and its organizers, to SGTopless and all the forum members, their families and friends for the great night and for the generous donations to the Children Charities Association. You all sure make a difference!

Also special thanks to Alvin for driving me around all night!
