Nice thread and keep up the good work.

My airport taxi is a 911 GT2 which my cousin drives. The aunt calls it a "doggy car" in chinese to english because there's only enough room for a dog!

Thread full of win! Fantastic photos keep them comeing.

I've heard there is quite a large vintage Volkswagen following in HK, any photos of any Beetles etc?

[rupertprocter]

Guys, thanks for your continued kind words and comments! I'm really glad you're enjoying the thread. I will do my best to answer all your questions. Forgive me if I miss one or two.

Yes, I'm good friends with DC in fact we spent this morning snapping together.

Actually, there are barely any vintage Veedubs here. I've probably only seen about 10 Beetles max and one Type 2. Maybe the person you heard that from was thinking of somewhere else.

Rupert, have you got any pics of a RHD E30 M3 if any of them are still in HK? (were there 2 or 3?)

Edited by S3_Graham on Saturday 13th April 21:59

I believe I have snapped a couple. I'll post them up for you. Remind me if I don't...

Superb pics, my favourite post on here for a long time, great variety of cars. Just one thing i noticed, apart from the 90s Ghibli there seems to be a lack of Maseratis?

The reason for that is that there are so many of them I actually stopped photographing them. The QP and the GT are hugely popular here and I have seen a few MC Stradales too. Saw an MC12 once, but didn't have my camera - typical!

I have a huge update from this morning to come, with some pretty special cars. Watch this space...

Close! It's Jaffe Rd. Same, same I guess

[texasjohn]

Brilliant

Many thanks for sharing these.

[blprice1]

That is absolutely superb! I love seeing cars like that out on the road and being enjoyed. Thanks a lot OP!

[RyanDD]

I love it,I love it, I love it.

Gimme more, please.

[scottyrocks]

Rupert, thank you for posting your pictures. I am fascinated by the progression in the overall quality of your work, which has evolved into art.

[g3org3y]

Great, thanks for sharing.

Which camera equipment/lenses do you use for your shots?

[crazy about cars]

Very nice shots! Are most of them by chance or do you go to meets?

[Otispunkmeyer]

The 355 looks all kinds of right doesn't it? Very pretty car.


RUF CTR? Yes please.

I use a combination of Nikon and Canon. I use my Nikon D80 for panning shots, usually with a 30mm Sigma lens and for capturing high-speed shots and on organised shoots I use my Canon 1D Mark 3, 24-70mm 2.8L for wider shots and my favourite 200mm 2.8L for tele shots - love the latter lens so much. Both of my cameras were bought 2nd hand off friends who were upgrading.

Up until just over a year ago all the shots were random. In recent months I have found less opportunities to take photos out and about on the streets so they are mostly taken on Sunday mornings when people take their cars out for a blast after a busy week.

Here are some recent pictures and after that some more of my older ones.

Yes, if I ever get an R32 GT-R, it will be Gunmetal Grey with stock wheels. What a perfect looking car it is!

I used to have a set of R32 GTR wheels. Lovely things. Sadly money was tight and they had to go.
I also had a set of R32 GTS-t wheels, which look similar but are horrible castings and only 6.5" wide instead of 8".
