    Thanks DM, what do you think it will be priced at? 3.4 similar to the LP560?

    Seen it around a few times, I have some clearer pics (No disrespect to your top drawer photos Fluffy), it also has a Scuderia/Stradale-esque stripe. The body kit is seriously like something you would expect to find on a thrashed 1986 Ford Fiesta Turbo - little front corner splitters and rear wing. Of all the cars that need or suit a body kit, the 456 is the furthest from it, but each to their own I guess after all that's what makes the world an interesting place, right?

    LOL love the Fiesta comparison.

    Modifications like this is the only way the owner can attract some interest on this 10+ year old Ferrari from Hong Kong's spoilt audiences!

    Just waiting for the first person to pick me up on the fact that they didn't make a Fiesta Turbo until 1990...

    Fluffy, I can't believe you've only posted 3 times on the forum! Is that correct or is there something wrong with the statistics?! In my mind it seems so many of the great cars we see in here are taken by you. Also, the pics in your Flickr account are amazing, why don't you post them all here? The SV coming out the garage and the sweeping view of the carpark in TMT spring to mind. Any more pics of that awesome powder blue 993 RS?

    Nice video! Did anyone see the latest episode of Top Gear (Bolivia Special)? Pretty funny and a somewhat return to form for a programme that has become rather trite of late.

    Hi everyone. I'm going to be spending two months in Hong Kong (Jan 7th to mid-March), and I'd love to start gathering some info. I love photography and I do a lot of it, and I'm wondering mostly about SPS and what their policies are with photography; are people allowed in the showroom with or without cameras, and same for the service center (I assume not)? Are there any other cool showrooms around that I should check out? I'm also curious about the weekend gatherings. When and where, and is there any way to get there without a car? Any responses (here, PM, whatever) are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Hi there! I have just been looking at your photos and there are some great shots in there. Unfortunately the garages, showrooms and service centres in general will not allow you to shoot pictures although there are exceptions. SPS have many high-profile clients and when I've been there the guys have been very helpful but also quite backwards in coming forwards with info about their cars, which is to be expected and fair enough. I wouldn't dream of trying to take pictures in the these places without permission (which I doubt they'd give you), although I'm sure exotic owners on this forum would be an exception as trusted clients. There's no harm in asking though.

    At the other end of the scale you have the big Auto Mall's. They also have a no photography rule, but IMO there are no privacy issues here so I subtly take photos until I'm told to stop. I just blank out the price and the license plate if I'm posting on the Web.

    Your best bet for getting good pictures is taking your camera to one of the SMD's or down to Shek O early on a sunny weekend day. SMD's quite a hike out to the New Territories if you're without a car (as I am) but you can get out there to Tai Mei Tuk and onto Luk Keng without any problem if you're willing to get up early. You'd need to ask some of the other guys here as to when they occur.

    Finally, just keep your camera round your neck and take a walk on the Island at AM/PM rush hour. As you can see from Fluffy's shots there's always something interesting to see out and about.

    Welcome to Fchat and Happy New Year. Another SL65, eh. Any idea how many of these beasts have made it to HK?

    Yes, I do live in Saikung, but I don't own a car here so have unfortunately never been out to the SMD.

    Nice pics btw, Fluffy!

    A couple of things I saw today, including a flash orange R8. I've finally bought a battery for my old Canon so I can take nice pics again:
