    Once I had a feeling that the 458 was a quantum leap over the 430 based cars I decided to move quickly. It is so hard to sell used cars in HK once they are out of fashion. Learned lessons in the past.

    Yes like the rest of HK I am in line for a 458. Orders now to 2014 - all with deposits. Crazy. The 458 has replaced IMSS's bankers!!!!

    Heard about that. On the positive side, in most other places they would be in jail with crushed cars at the rate of knots they were travelling at

    I just don't get the worries about finger prints. They are cleaned in half an hour - no big deal. We are so lucky in this part of the world that we do not face random vandalism. It is safe to park on the street. How can we dare to worry about finger prints????

    Agreed, one of the best looking cars ever penned IMO.

    Off topic: I heard recently that there are plans to turn the building down at Deep Water Bay into a classic car museum. Sounds rather interesting. Does anyone here know anything about that or is perhaps involved in the proposal in any way? I'm sure a car museum in HK could display some remarkable machinery for such a relatively small place.

    Good call, although I'm thinking the overheads might be somewhat crippling.

    Its in Repulse Bay - you know where the 7-11 is? The building is the one next to the public roof-less parking lot.

    I eagerly await the Google Street View for HK. I was in my 575 driving out of Taikoo Place and was the next car behind it for two streets. That was two months ago, so have no idea when Streetview will be available on Google Maps, but expect me to be showing when it does!!

    Oh?! Ha! Is that you in the 512TR? If so, sorry about leaving the number plate exposed I just thought it had to stay.

    Yes, even if it was a fleeting meeting to say the least! btw, the 512 looked stunning - such a rare treat to see one on the roads.

    Hello Sega355, small world! I photographed your GT40 and the Cobra the other day in Tung Chung (see page 54), and I was telling you about the other member I know (RWP) who introduced me here . Nice to see you again, hope the photos do your car justice :)
