    Very nice garage. What part of HK is your garage located? We lived in HK for a bit, loved the experience. My office was in Wan Chi and apartment in Parkview.

    Daytona, 288 GTO, F40, 430S, 348 GTC, Cobra replica, some motorcycles. My 916 Senna Series 1 will stay in my office as a sculpture! Cobra replica is more about performance than perfection as a fake snake. Probably more accurately it is a cobra hot rod. I think I have been watching too much Discovery Channel

    Next time you are in HK we can hit the Jumbo and a few other restaurants you might like even better. Not to mention the great seafood in Zhuhai should a little time at the track be in order!

    First cement pour today. Another tomorrow. Some equipment should be ready to be installed starting tomorrow. More metal work on turntable. I will be out of town next week so no further updates for a while. Should be good progress by the time I get back. I am really impressed with the workers I have on the site. got some good ideas from them today

    I am absolutely speechless DM!

    Building a garage like that alone is impressive, not to mention that this is happening in HK; you are one of a kind!

    Whats more exciting is that I always had a deception that you live on the other side as I also reside on the Southside and have never seen any of your cars (even at country club or golf club).

    You are the man! :)

    Thanks for the compliments but you are over-estimating me. Really no big deal.

    HK is a great place to build a dream garage as we have China on our doorstep for fantastic fittings at reasonable cost. Local contractors are also great - hard working, innovative and reliable. Only problem with HK is that the property on the southside of HK Island is not exactly cheap and in rather short supply. I need some storage space and the chance to build a workshop is a long-time goal that I am now able to achieve.

    I belong to Country Club (very near to my garage). I am at Country Club very often. My daily driver is low profile and I can't imagine driving a nice car there - no need and unwanted attention

    China is indeed an excellent resource for us.. almost half of the furniture in my house was bought from China, the quality is at least on par (if not better) with the ones we got from here and they are dirt cheap :)

    I also belong to Country Club, and always see the beautiful white 365BB there, I hope thats not your low profile car :)

    I drive to work daily and just surprised that I've never bumped into you, even in the weekends...

    White 365BB is not mine. The previous owner is a friend and I thought about buying it but decided against it. I don't drive to work as I don't have a job and I avoid the CC on weekends when it is busy as I have other places to go that are not busy

    Has anyone seen the Discovery Channel show on the Super Typhoon that seems destined to hit HK sooner or later? Pretty scary. I have decided to upscale my emergency sump pump!!!

    Looks like it's going to be a great garage, and sounds like you've got a fantastic collection to house too!

    Congratulations.

    I don't like the sound of a super typhoon either... I'm by the water on the north side :eek:

    Grundfos make great sump pump kits for your waste water they also do them with built in tanks
