Designing Dream Garage

Thanks for the heads up. I am going to dig a big sump and cement it so a built in tank is not necessary

 

Floats (low for the primary pump and high for the secondary pump) and water sensors (in various places) are connected to the alarm system. No need to get the turntable off as it has a drain to the sump. You are right - I hope to never lift it. That would be a major task

 

You give me too much credit. I have a very good team

 

Well I would be honoured to host Fchat friends but quite honestly it is way too far from HK to Texas to see a small collection of cars that you can easily see close to home. Vacation funds should be used for beaches!

 

Salman I don't think so. F40 has very conventional suspension. It predates active suspension by many years. Lifting the car to take the weight off the suspension during the 3 or 4 months when I can't use it because of rainy season is very good for the car and tyres. Letting it sit is not so good

 

Driving in HK is much better than most financial centres. Traffic moves quite well most of the time. There are great roads on Hong Kong island and the New Territories. You cannot take a HK registered car to China (the Mainland) unless the car has a China plate. The roads in China are fantastic

 

Funny that you should say this. I am at the airport lounge now on my way from HK to LA, Miami, Cayman and NYC in the next 4 days before a vacation in Hawaii. I was in Sydney last week. I am really tired of traveling right now.

I do feel a bit extravagant. But there is little choice in HK if you prefer to live on HK Island and the Southside in particular. Even USD15mn townhouses are likely to have 2 semi-outdoor carspaces. I love the New Territories where I could get some land but it is not convenient for my family. I need some private space for my cars, bikes and art. I enjoy tinkering. I am also hoping that my son will enjoy spending time doing guys stuff - taking apart, building, making a mess, learning how things works, etc.

I am very excited to be buying professional calibre tools, air compressor, etc. I have a huge box of assorted screwdrivers that never seem to be the perfect one. It will be such a pleasure to have exactly the right tool!

You are very fortunate to be in a position to start to spend time in this part of the world. I hope your new job works out well. China is tough in places but unbelievably fascinating.

 

Very cool. Cars and planes in one place

 

After some sound advice from Fchat brothers I endeavoured to order battery tenders from Deltran. I was happy to see that they have an international model which is exactly what I need. Website would not let me order and requested that I call which I did. I was advised that they have a distributor in Germany who I contacted. He tried to charge double the price or more of what Deltran charges direct. When I questioned him, he said "those are my price". No problem Dude, keep your stock. Contacted Deltran again. Tried to order and was advised that they won't ship outside of the US because they experienced fraud in the Philippines.

I asked them, why make an international product line if you prefer not to sell to us shifty dodgy foreigners???

Simple solution my overseas Fchat brothers, myus.com gives you a US address and handles onshipping. Fantastic service. (I am in no way affiliated).

If anyone knows anyone at Deltran please tell them their policies are beyond stupid and send them a "W" bumpersticker in case the one on the back of their Ford pick up truck wears out. W's famous quote, "Most of our imports come from overseas" could be paraphrased for Deltran, "Most of our international line is sold overseas"!!!
