    Nice pics! I wonder why many have aftermarket wheels as many F-cars etc in HK stay on the originals. I must be really unlucky as all the times I have been to Macau I have never seen an exotic car.

    With the exception of the Silverstone F430, the rest of the Fcars are on stock wheels. The black wheels on the rosso 430 are actually stock 430 wheels, painted black with red pinstripes on the rim edge. They looked like Novitecs at first glance but they're deffo less wide than the Novis.The Lambos are all on stock wheels.
    Yup, same here, been to Macau many times, yet have never seen any exotica in the flesh..:)

    there're roughly about 40-50 ferrari's in macau, thats quite a lot compare to the size of the city and population, unfortunately i never spot an Enzo here,

    take a ride to Penha hill and thats where most of the exotic cars spot.

    I agree.. rarely see exotics over there... only a Lambo... and one 360 Challenge car in a shop!

    Great shots.. the Scud is a nice one. You could get some really nice shots with the old Portuguese architecture there.

    Any more pics of this car (and it's a F355, not a 512TR)? Love the color and the challenge seats.

    Wow the Rolls Royces look so much grander and imposing than the Maybachs, which just look like semi-glorified S-classes.

    So I guess it's not that difficult for LHD cars to be 'officially' registered there?

    If U have official China plate, u can buy a LHD and register it first in China, then request a HK plate. Reverse of what's been done here .

    You're right of course. I just flicked through once and the black/red 430 rims must've clouded my judgement.

    Perfect timing for this thread - I have a mission for you seemacau - I think you'll like it too. :cool:

    The best news of all, however, is this:

    "The cars will be displayed from 1 June on Level 1 of the mass gaming floor for 6 months."

    It would be fantastic if you could travel there and take many great photos of the McLaren F1 (and the Enzo I guess ;)). Even better, and this is the real mission, would be to obtain the chassis number of the McLaren which can be found on a small plate just ahead of the shift lever on the right chassis spar in the interior. I can provide reference photos of its location if you are not sure where I am referring to. Perhaps you won't be able to get that close to the car, but it is always worth a try to ask.

    Anyway, I hope that you or someone else who sees this thread is up to the task. This McLaren F1 is currently an 'unknown', in that none of the folks who follow these cars has seen it before. Any photos or details you can provide would be most excellent! Thanks in advance for your time and trouble!! :cool:

    Do you mean requesting a Macau plate or you really mean requesting a HK plate?

    Bet it confuses the heck out of the licencing authority if you roll up to register a Maclaren F1? LHD or RHD? Give it a licence or not.? I bet after seeing it is neither RHD or LHD therefore not covered therefore "no". A bit like the way they treated the Segway personal transport I guess?
