Thanks for sharing. Surprised not one TVR though...

The yellow miura in the first post, is that the same car that caught fire in London?

Great post!

Not sure what I like more. The photos of the cars or seeing how your photography evolved over the years.

By the way. Is that Pai Tau Street in Shatin?? Looks just like the road next to the Shatin MTR station.

Some more car porn for you. This Lambo belongs to a Russian guy with a great taste in 90's supercars. The Testarossa is also his as is XJ220 that I will post later.
Rupert, never mind Flickr you need your own site with all these staggering photos. I would check incessantly throughout the day for more updates to drool over! Good work fella. clap

I believe this is the ex-Rod Stewart Miura, the one with the stiletto marks in the roof lining...

There are very few TVRs here. Lemme see if I can find any pics for you. I saw a red V8S the other weekend but couldn't get a pic of it. That's the first one of them that I have seen here.

Okay, this is before I learnt how to do panning shots properly...

Wow, there are so many good photos there. Really incredible cars and incredible shots! Love the night shots too.

I know this one does look sad, but I was surprised to see one that is almost exactly like my old car. I always believed that GTS-4's are really rare, but have no real proof of that.

Superb pics Rupert!

There is apparently one Reventon in HK.

I assume you are aware of all the dealers, SPS etc?

It is staggering to think that an Avendator is £650k+ - given some of the incredible cars out there, it just shows how much money there is in HK.

I recall that the orange Zonda was involved in a serious crash a year or so ago?

Interesting, I thought there was only one coupe over there.

No Veyrons?
