    I still think they look sharp. But yes the CLK Black is a classic. Speaking of classics, DM18 your car was spotted in Shanghai...

    Apologies we made you feel that way, the fact is most people go for drives on Sunday morning when traffic is less busy.

    No problem, I was just hoping I can meet or join you guys because I only go to Hong Kong once every 10 years. But you guys are more than welcome to join our huge group in Southern California whenever you guys are in town, just let us know ahead of time.

    Zondas and Gumperts seem to turn up there regularly, but it's way too far for me to go :/

    SPS still has a black Gumpert in the window in Siu Sai Wan, alongside a Zonda-R. I went along yesterday lunchtime to have a look but they were all closed up.

    I always wonder why they put a showroom here... is it for the mainlanders?

    Madness. How much is that after tax?

    Brand building. The 4 door car is not far away and it will be RHD. There are lots of serious collectors in HK who don't mind buying LHD exotics. There is always a market for the best of the best in HK

    A shade under 8 mil on the road I guess. The list price is 260,000 Euros.

    It's quite an amazing feat of engineering, the details were exquisite. I poked into every nook and cranny of the car and everywhere I looked there was some little thing to marvel at. I wasn't prepared for just how big it was too. For it's size it is utterly impractical. You'd be hard pressed to put anything in there other than you, a passenger and whatever could fit on their lap. The boot/trunk is hilarious, just two little cubby holes for and aft of the rear pushrod suspension coils. I was told, tongue firmly in cheek, that you can put one shoe in one hole and another shoe in the other - and that's at a stretch! I thought it was unfortunate that, if you were on a continent crushing blast through Europe or similar, you would have to have your luggage flown to your hotel ahead of you. I have never seen such a vast dashboard and found out the reason why when I saw how far behind the front wheels that thunderous 7300cc V12 is mounted. This car is quite simply an event, nay a spectacle.

    Sod James Bond, this thing should be the next Batmobile...

    Also, not a car but I thought you lot might appreciate this. The largest solar powered ship in the world visits HK as part of its round the world voyage. I thought this snap of it with an icon of Victoria Harbour was fitting...
