"Bumblebee" cars spotted in Orchard Road! - part 2

This 2nd ‘Bumblebee lookalike’, a Lamborghini Murcielago, was spotted outside the same hotel on the same day as ‘Bumblebee I’, that was featured in yesterday’s post. Both cars were parked at the extreme ends of the same row of parallel parking lots. Talk about coincidence! I think both the drivers probably know each other and they could be at the hotel for high tea.

As usual, both ‘Bumblebees’ attracted attention from passer-bys and many snapped photos of this car too. Usually it takes one individual to start taking photos and very soon, other people will follow suit. I wondered if the other ‘photographers’ were fans of high-end sports cars like me.

"Bumblebee" cars spotted in Orchard Road! - part 1

While shopping at Orchard Road over the recent Christmas festive season, I spotted some high-end sports cars parked outside a hotel. Here is one of them.

What struck me was how much their colors resembled the Transformers movie character - Bumblebee! I guess that the drivers or the owners could be ‘Bumblebee’ fans. After all, it is such a coincidence that the colors of their cars are yellow with black dorsal stripes!

Here we have the Hasbro catalog photo of the Ultimate Bumblebee Action Figure from the Transformers movie for compare and contrast. While snapping the photos of the sports cars, I imagined that the cars would suddenly ‘transform’ into their robot forms! That would have been so cool!

There were many other passer-bys taking photos of those exotic cars too. Maybe they were also fans of sports cars, or they were just taking photos because other people were doing the same…
