    Doing OK, I have been on and off the past few months. I have been Ferrari-less for a while now. I finally realized that I need live within my means, so a good ol' Porsche fits the bill better. :p I can drive it more aggressively than Ferraris and not worry too much about it breaking down.

    I did receive the invitation but don't think I will go, 'cause I already got a preview!

    Not a Porsche fan, but I hear you mate :)
    Ferraris can be impractical at times.

    Thanks for the pic. I guess that would be the show car for next Mon? Can't wait! BTW, did they put some 'psuedo' seats behind the front seats?

    Thanks for all photos. Very nice to see many good cars in HK.
    BTW, do anyone know how many F360 are in HK so far?

    Yeah, plus the regular cam belt changes that you need to go thru even if you haven't driven it that much. For the cost of a cam belt change and a few other small things on a 512TR, I can rebuild a 993 engine.

    I think it is. Didn't notice that there was any seat in the back. They have taken too much cue from the Lexus SC430 on the rear!

    Too many! :D

    Hi Guys, I was there as well. Unfortunately I didn't taken any photos as there are too many people. I also leave early after the launch.
    But thanks for sharing the photos.

    I was there too. Was busy chasing my son around and was mainly there to catch up with friends - nice to see so many people out even when the markets suck. We were lucky with the weather. Saw the California in Singapore last week so never fought the crowds to look at the car carefully. I had lunch and dinner with Jean Todt on the day of the launch and he is a super nice guy. Much more relaxed now than before. Asia is so lucky to have him looking out for us

    I was hoping someone can help me out. I am looking for the contact information of the Ferrari/Maserati Dealers in China.
    I would also like to contact fellow Ferrari Club of China Officials.

    As the founder of the one, only and official "Car Guy Tour" I am thinking of doing a special Tour for our Asian Ferrari/Maserati friends.
    You can visit www.carguytour.com for a look at where the tour goes.
    I can do a special Tour in May 2009 and or Sept 2009. I need 25 people to make it happen. The Tour will include an Italian/Chinese translator.
    Ciao,

    Contact: Raymond Choi, marketing director of Ferrari Maserati Cars China.
    www.ferrari.cn or [email protected]
    He would have answers.
    Contacting individual dealer would not be a good idea.

    Great pics everyone! Too bad I missed as I am currently working somewhere in rural china :(

    I wonder if Mr. Kwok ordered one... somehow I doubt it though as he is quite a hardcore collector.

    The front of the car is looking better and better, but the rear still makes me puke. To me the Cali is a huge step down from 430 and its replacement, and also a sign of Ferrari's greed for money. It might have the petro-hungry V8 to make up the performance, but the Manettino switch and the aero package is a telltale sign imo. The lack of Race mode and 0 sign of aero efficiency (bulky mirrors & tiny diffusers) seems to tell us that the Cali hardly spent anytime on Fiorano and in the wind tunnel.

    Just my 0.02 cents, dont flame me :)

    Cars are parked in designated custom areas..could be a house with a box drawn on the ground where the car has to sit. Only way out is via dealer plates.

    They do - that is why they are HK registered. Both cars were in for fuel pump failures. Coincidence.
