FIRST Hong Kong Fchat Mini Meet - 2/11/2008

It was very nice meeting everyone in person that day, big thanks to DM for organizing it and inviting us all over to see his collection in person.

 

Great meeting and stunning collection. Looking forward to see more HK Fchat events. Thanks DM!

 

Wah! solid! nice

 

Fantastic selection of cars for a 'mini' meet to brighten up an otherwise dingy day! The 288 is just... well... sensational! My all-time favourite car (I know I'm not the only one). Does it get out and about much? Seeing that on the road would make my day! DM, your Scud looks the business in white too. Do I spot a stealthy RS2 outside?

 

Great everyone could make it. There will be more in the future. We need to do more in HK.

That is a stealthy RS2 indeed - belonging to one of our fchat members.

288 GTO gets out and about alot - Central, Mong Kok, NT, airport... It has been spotted many times in unlikely places. But not today - went to take it out and the battery was shorted out - what a pi_s off. Have no idea how old the battery is - at least 6 years and it never gave a hint that it was about to die. Lucky it happened before I left my garage. I am off to the Fiamm agent for a new one and will be back out soon to enjoy this perfect driving weather.

 

Good to see an Fchat gathering. Would have joined you guys, but I was running late because of family commitments. Oh well, maybe next time.

 

Great pictures and what a stunning collection indeed! Congratulations to the first Fchat meet.

Just a quick introduction, I am a native of HK and residing in San Francisco, I visit HK every year and would like to catch up with you guys next time if it is okay.

I have been on the Fchat (Northern California) for a couple of years.

I am passionate about Ferrari. I take my 308 to Hillclimb, Track day and weekend spirited drives. Here is a short clip to share.

A perfect group of cars! Great party DM!

Any more pics!?

 

Do you have you usual place to meet ....? where and when... I love to stop by and say hello. I constantly go to Hong Kong....

 

Hi Guys, very glad to see that there is some mini group for Fchat. Pls let me know if there is any new event in the future. I think we need to get together as we are all Ferrari lover and we can share experience.

 

Woah! This must have been fun. Good to see you guys meet up.

Great looking garage, DM18. I've always dreamed of having something like that though my collection would just be scale models, cars are way too expensive here. Having a garage/workshop/personal functions room @ ground or basement with the family upstairs. What a dream!

And of course the GTO

 

Awesome collection!

 

stunning garage and rides u got there DM, thanks for sharing those pics ApeGen.

 

Fantabulous collection DM18 and thanks ApeGen for sharing the piccies. Great garage set-up I must say too! 288GTO and an F40 in one garage is the epitome of a Ferrari collection IMO.

 

Wow. So beautiful and so clean.

 

Dude! When I grow up I want to be like you!!!

 

Oh, how could I have missed the gathering ? Pls let me know if you guys are meeting up again.

 

Great cars, great photos, great idea!
I do hope I can join in next time.
Please let me know if that is possible and when/where.
Thanks!

 

The Stig in a deadly cool SA in CWB is always most welcome anytime. ApeGen, the de facto Chairman of fchat HK, will make sure that you are invited to Mini Meet 2!

 

Thanks DM18. Much appreciated

Hi ApeGen, looking forward to it.
Looks like I will have to get the Stig outfit for Mini Meet 2 now so I can keep up the image!

 

Seeing the 288 GTO (which is drop dead gorgeous BTW) reminds me of the quote by Luca di Montezemolo about my favourite of all Ferraris, the 250 GTO. When asked how many were still around, he said, "of the 33 originals ever made, all 3,000 are working perfectly", referring to the number of restyled 250 and 330 chassis and other replicas. 288 and 250 GTOs both great classics!

 

What a sight !!! DM and ApeGen, thank you for sharing these amazing pics.
Please help to keep me posted about the next outing... it would be great to join you guys.
