    Yes, thanks.
    Definitely a nice person with a real Ferrari passion.
    Now that we have discovered our common interest we have been having a continuing dialogue.
    I am going to the Monza F1 GP this year followed by a visit to Maranello and he has been advising on Hotels, what to do, etc.

    Thanks! A little more luck than judgment though. I'm actually in the market for a DSLR but when it comes to gadgetry it always takes me months of dilly-dallying around before taking the plunge. Fluffy's pics always come out a treat. That's a DSLR you're using I assume, Fluffy?

    The Dino is pure Raquel Welch or Brigit Bardot on wheels. Beautiful lines. I was thinking of it as something to keep in a box and get it out to admire from time to time.

    A Daytona is more Steve McQueen or Miami Vice. All action.

    Nothing wrong with either.

    So, I'm going to be in HK for 2 day at the end of March. I don't like HK, only been once, but my cousin is visiting me and my visa stipulates I must travel out mainland every 90 days, thus HK is where I'm going and taking him.

    If you could take someone out in HK for one day/night, what would you do and more importantly, where would you eat?

    wedouglas, if you don't like HK why would you come here for two days? It's not like there aren't plenty of other places in the immediate vicinity.

    I do happen to love HK and one of the many reasons is... I just saw that orange/black Zonda F in Causeway Bay. The first I've seen on the road and heck did it sound good! Also a plethora of front-engined V12 F-cars including a beautiful 575SA (Paul?) and a 575 and a 550 which I got a nice little pic of. Thank god the sun's back and the cars are out in force again.

    Haha! Fluffy you must have been just a bit further down Gloucester Rd at the same time as me on my very late lunch break. I didn't see the Daytona or the Mansory 599, and that Diablo was going behind a bus as I took a shot. Great pics as usual you always seem to be in the right place at the right time! :)

    You can see my pics here http://s276.photobucket.com/home/juanchaihk/index

    So many F-cars on the roads today, eh! Love the 512TR you spotted as well. Oops, that's an F512M - even better!

    Welcome to F-Chat and what a great first post!!! Beautiful Zonda and that's an V10 R8, but what's the story with the body-kit? A special edition? Great stuff!

    Just curious - how to tell the difference between V8 and V10 cosmetic-wise?

    The easiest ways (for me) are that the sideblades come out instead of staying flush, the exhaust pipes are two ovals instead of four circles, and the rear fascia is painted black instead of body color.

    Quick question regarding license plates: a lot of the nice cars around here have a second license plate hanging on the front or back. My guess is that it's a second plate for China (or Hong Kong) and there's no other place to put it. Any insight?
