Thanks! Yeah, agree. The 997 GT3 RS look fantastic in every colour scheme IMO.MightyBadger said:
Outstanding, loving the Japanese content. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, indeed! Personal favourites for sure. HK people are mad on Japanese cars.We thought we'd share a few more before we head out on this AM's morning drive. Again, these were all shot mid-2020 and are a selection of what we feel you guys are into. Hopefully we'll have a juicy update for you later!

Another great set of pictures! Thank you!
What do you know about that RHD Dodge Challenger? As far as I know they are only built in LHD. Is it a conversion or do they actually make them for RHD markets?
I think there's a firm in Oz who do RHD conversions. I'm certain I've seen it on the net.What do you know about that RHD Dodge Challenger? As far as I know they are only built in LHD. Is it a conversion or do they actually make them for RHD markets?

they still not have seat belt laws in HK?
What about drink driving? When I lived there as a kid in late 70's there were no drink driving laws then
Both of these are now laws. There has been a big crackdown on the latter in recent years. The standard of driving here is pretty poor, I can't imagine what it was like when drinking and driving wasn't illegal.What about drink driving?

I drove down to BWB around 7:45 Sunday morning. Am I too late, or has it lost a lot of support? I saw a grey Daytona and a blue (512BB?) but mostly it seemed to be car specific groups that drive into the car park and head straight out again.
Do you know anything about the McLaren F1 that was registered last December? The First Registration Tax on that is likely to be £10m+, unless they came to a deal.

The jap tourists thought it was great and were taking photo's of the damage (and us) and as my sisters and me were very blond wanted to touch our hair (Do the Chinese still like to touch blond hair? It used to be a big thing back in the day particularly with older folk)
Then, bus driver happy no damage done, they drove off, my dad and his mate pulled the body work away from the wheels and we carried on! Lucky it was a VW as engine was fine at the back
How I miss HK
and even then some of the cars were out of this world..... Like my dad's shed

It definitely isn't a thing now.GMac1 said:
What a fantastic thread Rupro! Best I've seen so far.
Think HK may need to be added to my bucket list of holiday destinations.
Cheers! HK may have lost some of it's appeal a bit in recent years, but still worth a look if you haven't been before.Think HK may need to be added to my bucket list of holiday destinations.

Shek O doesn't seem quite as busy as it once was, I think due to the police clampdown on modifications (and cars that are stock too by all accounts), but it is still pretty hectic. Luk Keng seems to be way busier. I don't know anything about the F1 I'm afraid. I never thought that F1s could be regoed here due to having a central driving position. So, I also find it strange.Do you know anything about the McLaren F1 that was registered last December? The First Registration Tax on that is likely to be £10m+, unless they came to a deal.
