Hong Kong, there be car-pawn here...

[Don1]

That WRX, is there a scene in the Far East that goes UKDM, yo?

[Majorslow]

What road are the latest photo's on? bearing in mind I lived there back in the 80's it looks like one of them on the south side of the Island going towards Repulse bay or the road leading from central/happy valley to the peak?

A few thoughts;

The photographs from Rupro are great.

The selection of cars on here is fantastic. I'd be happy to own most of them, even some of the more 'unusual' ones.

I think I'm actually starting to like cars painted either very light grey or 'primer' grey. Some nice examples of them in this thread.

Nice! Thanks for chipping in and supporting the thread slash HK car scene. Boy, were they fortunate with traffic! Every time we've done group shoots on a drive it's been a mare with trucks, taxis, and people trying to do their best to interrupt.

Not massively. I guess a bit of UK style mods on Fords, etc. but the scene here is way more geared to Japanese car culture.

All the countryside shots are done my colleague and I on Shek O Road and Bride's Pool Road. A scattering of Route Twisk images in earlier posts, but not many. That's mostly motorbike stuff we do there.

Too kind! Actually they're a collaboration between myself and my colleague. Appreciate the positive words!

Of the Rarest cars there, the Forester STb was 1 of 1. Shame there were no Forester STi's spotted. Epic thread. Thank you Rupert.

[Zed Ed]

Great pics

Always enjoyed a quick blast down to Shek O beach; snail like Leyland double deckers providing regular mobile chicanes for the E30 325i back in the day.

We've definitely shot a number of STi Foresters. Don't know why I've not shared actually. Will dig some out for a later post.

Thanks for the pictures. I periodically log on to your website to see new posts. Makes for some lovely late night relaxation along with a glass of wine. I particularly enjoy the pictures in the city. HK is so cool!

Greeting PHeads! Thought it was about time for another post of some random metal from the roads of Hong Kong. As usual, there's something for everyone... More to come if you still enjoy seeing the photos.

Should be an STi for you below.

So many nice cars and beautiful scenery - great shots Rupro

[epom]

Super shots, that view looking down on the F12 (I think) is something else. Of all of the exotica in the post the thing that struck me most was the steel sunroof in the Beetle ??

[matrignano]

993 GT2 and 993 Turbo S are some proper rarities!

Is that your 2.7 RS? That first photo with the taxi in the background I took very nearly a decade ago - where does the time go?!?!?

[Blown2CV]

they really do have an amazing approach to modifications

I've just come back to PH after a few years, and this is the only thread that I've read from last post to latest. Wonderful car variety and great photos

No no , just staying at the hotel in the background. Went for breakfast and saw out of the window the HK car club meeting. Only took a few pictures.

Ah ha! Yes, the Classic Car Club of Hong Kong used to hold their annual event there on Chater Road. A great location!

That's great! Glad you like the pictures.

Back again with another eclectic mix of metal. Hopefully something tickles your fancy...
