    it seems like most videos i see online of car spotting in hong kong involve getting invited to some underground garages that are just filled with exotics. since im sure that involves connections or finances i lack in, im hoping there is a few other places ill be able to catch a few cars for my 2 week work trip.

    Checkout IFC. 5 minute walk from Mandarin Oriental. The car park is loaded with exotics as well as the Four Seasons valet. Pacific Place and the hotels surrounding it is a great place for spotting too.

    If you stand on a footbridge on Connaught Road C or Harcourt Road, you will see lots of cars drive by.

    Sunday morning at Big Wave Bay parking lot is one of the regular meet up spots, however it's quite a bit away from the MO.

    would you believe i found this place and couldnt figure out where the cars were. there is a ton of people there today though. im going to try again during the week and hopefully find the lower levels because there was nothing on the first level.

    Go to Grand Hyatt HK (Wanchai) hotel and ask the hotel concierge (bell boys) to point the location out to you, its just down the driveway by the Grand Hyatt entrance, need to take elevator to the lower parking levels, easy as ~ look out for the signage as per attached pic, they have them at the parking garage outdoor entrance door and the elevators....

    Hey ~ you might want to try to talk your way into the holy halls: Blackbird Automotive Ltd. one day and wish you good luck!

    im here for a few more days but will most likely be working so i unfortunately doubt ill see an Aventador SV (car i was hoping to see most) but i just got back from the IFC 2 Building Garage and it wasnt all that bad.

    Here's what i saw in just that garage (which was mostly empty)

    Gen 1 R8
    Tons of old and new bentleys and RR
    Blue F430
    Red 360 Challenge Stradale!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    2x White F12
    A crazy blue 488
    a Green Huracan with factory aero kit
    2 orange mp4-12c (the best color on these cars i think)
    grey f430 spyder
    Black 458
    Red California
    Black Gallardo
    a 488 that was metallic grey with a red roof (definitely not my first choice in colors)
    and a red with white and blue striped 458 aperta

    overall, not a bad hour walk around a parking garage.

    Yup...its at a public parking garage at Kowloon Bay. Don't think it's worth to make a special trip though
