Hong Kong, there be car-pawn here...
Discussion
I don't know if you heard Rupert: last week the Government announced - with one day's notice - a virtual ban on importing cars over twenty years old into HK. The measure came into effect 1st June. Anything brought in now must comply with Euro 6, which is obviously impossible for anything pre fuel injection. The classic car clubs have squealed about it.

Yes, mate! What a pisser that is and the reasoning is pretty wobbly to say the least. Sigh...Can stuff still be imported and driven (unofficially of course) on T-plates or on those limited use papers, or is it a total ban from being driven on public roads at all?

Fantastic pics again!!!
Thank you!emix said:
The white Huracan with Italian flag colored calipers is top notch! Great pictures as usual, but I still prefer the light in HK.
Hmmmmm, I think I prefer it here in UK. It's just that great light and me being out with the camera where cars are hasn't really coincided much yet.Electronicpants said:
With so many threads on PH making me involuntarily furrow my brow or wince, It's lovely to have one that just makes me smile!
Awwww, thanks!

I don't know about red plates / limited use. It's a ban on imports for now. The Classic Car Club was stunned into silence. Nobody dare question the government on anything here anymore.

I've made a separate thread about this as I don't think people tend to be attracted to the title of this thread, but wanted to share here too. This year was my first ever trip to the FoS. Having lived abroad from the past 20+ years I have had to watch from afar, so it was great to finally do the pilgrimage. Unfortunately, I could only do Thursday but I tried to make the most of it, yomping around with my camera. Here are the photos, which you guys might enjoy...

Are you going back to HK?
Sorry, haven't been back to check the thread for a while. I will be going back to HK a few times a year once travel issues have returned to normal.emix said:
Great photos, as per usual! Thanks for posting.
I gather there won't be anymore HK photos from now on?
There won't be any photos taken by me personally, but my partner in crime is still there doing photos every weekend. I've been too busy to update the thread in recent months, but will try and do a bumper post soonish.I gather there won't be anymore HK photos from now on?
Eh up! After an absence I'm back with some more photos for you. I've been covering quite a few events in recent months, most lately the Retro Rides Gathering at Mallory Park this past Sunday. Here are some photos of cars going to and from the event. If they tickle your fancy, you can see all 1,800 images here...
