Hello world!! I’m Inui, I go by she/her, and I’ll post car-related things here from time to time.
You’ve probably heard of me from elsewhere, as I do a lot and go by very many names, so here’s more on the car-related things I do!
Mercedes-Benz E280 S211
In November, my dad and I (I don’t have a license as of writing this, but hopefully by June!) undertook a Mercedes-Benz E280T. This car’s ownership so far has been bittersweet, and there have been a lot of back and forth, and problems the car still has. We plan to keep it on the road as long as we can, as there are, from what i can remember, only 3 units in Singapore. In all seriousness, if you love a car, all hardships are just secondary to keeping it alive. Pictures Taken by James Chong.
Modified Little Tikes Cozy Coupes
This is what happens when you stick to the ‘screw it, we ball’ law. This is a completed project of 2 Cozy Coupes, slammed, one given the convertible treatment, and much more. Last Christmas, it would have been my first one’s 3rd anniversary. I do have an electric ride-on, but it is in pieces, and I honestly lost the directions for it, so it’s sitting untouched and disassembled. It is known as @cozycoup on a few platforms, and i mostly use this as a form to shitpost.
Diecast collecting
Since I was young, I’ve always enjoyed playing with toy cars, from the few i had, it grew to over 3000 model cars of varying scales. I am tempted to open up shop, but I worry about surviving long-term. My page for my model cars is @my_little_diecasts, but it is really inactive. Pictures here are quite old, overall the amount has grown, but some cars are no longer with me.
Car Archiving
Car Archiving is probably the highest maintenance and most difficult amongst all here. I get pictures from the public, compile lists and collate numbers of models on local Singaporean roads. I face the most problems here (well, maybe less than the E280!) due to the nature of such activity, as many people aren’t too interested in helping photograph them, but keep asking for information. I used to do this with a few people, but as of now, I am solo. Even more unfortunate is that a lot of older media is getting deleted, especially on car marketplace sites, that prompted me to start posting on a spare account, now known as @altzzy on Instagram.

Car Spotting/ Photography
Amongst all here, this would have been the 2nd oldest, I started when i first got my phone, in 2017. My first carspot was an orange Mustang with a Shelby bumper in Shanghai. I opened my carpotting account @singapore._.cars in 2019. Though I’ve pivoted more to car photography, I still actively carspot, lest i don’t publicly post them. Talking about photography, I do graphic design and mixed media car edits, using a Sony A6000, a Vivitar iTwist, and my phone, currently a Xiaomi 14 Ultra. I really do enjoy making these, but I take a tad bit too long to do one up hehe.
Gaming Related
I game. A lot. Most of the times I play BeamNG Drive, City Car Driving, or an assortment of Roblox Car games. I enjoy making slot cars, though I’m quite bad at them. I don’t enjoy racing, as it makes me feel more stressed out. I prefer regular driving, together with traffic, almost like an NPC.
Questions I’d think you’d ask
You probably didn’t ask them or think even about them, but why not?
What’s your dream car?
I really fancy the Saab 95 NG Sportcombi (will make do with a sedan if I can’t get my hands on a combi, they’re really rare!), and the Renault Avantime! Both massively unachievable, though!
What would you write about in the future?
I would write about anything I find interesting, but as this is an automotive-themed blog, I will try to stick to that, but I will throw references to other things if relevant!
Why?
I wish i knew.
What is Love?
Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more
🐈⬛?

My Volkswagen Golf GTi MKVI EA888 misfires, the engine light is on, and there is an obvious lack of power! Help, what’s going on!!!!
Carbon Buildup in your Intake!
If I have 2 Perodua Kancils, one in red and one in blue, and every day, I swap parts from the red to the blue one, and vice versa, will the blue car be red or blue?
… whos asking these questions? Oh right thats me.
