i thought 997.1 didn't have turbo S version, just a wild guess
You're right, but the owner has modified it to almost 600HP which is when he decided to put the 'S' badge on it. An odd decision perhaps, but it does go like stink, which might actually be more fitting!

Really looking forward to your interpretation of Hong Kong through the lens. I'm a big admirer of your photographs!

From what I have been told there are at least 3 Apertas delivered to HK. Any seen on the road yet? What color was the car you have seen at IMSS?
Haven't seen an Aperta yet. mer_c63coupe_1210_1920_01 by R-W-P (Rupert in HK), on Flickr bmw_3series_gm811_1920_01 by R-W-P (Rupert in HK), on Flickr bmw_m3_al932_1920_01 by R-W-P (Rupert in HK), on Flickr bmw_m3_ls6411_1920_01 by R-W-P (Rupert in HK), on Flickr This is perfect...

Now you are testing my memory back to November last year! I think, but not 100% it was Rosso Fuoco but could be wrong. Fairly certain it was a shade of red though.
Visiting HK this coming July. What's the best place to go for exotics spotting there? Any hotspot? I know The Peninsula is a good place.
Not really spotting exotics "in the wild", but the usual recommendation is the used car showroom in the basement of the parking structure next to the Grand Hyatt in Wanchai. Similarly, plenty of eye candy (Veyron, Lambo, Lotus, etc.) in the car showrooms along Gloucester Road in the Wanchai area. Four Seasons' valet area usually has one or two exotics (a dozen if you include bentleys and rolls royces). The IFC mall basement parking garage always has about a dozen. And then there's the Sunday Morning Drive...
Also anywhere along Gloucester Rd at the weekend. I would say that is the best bet to see fantastic looking and sounding cars in motion. It couldn't be easier too!
Basement parking? Sounds like a place with lots of hidden treasure. Slightly OT: But where would you guys recommend for nice food? Hong Kong nice foods are generally roast duck, dim sum, egg tarts and all right? If you guys don't mind, can PM me a list of place where I should visit for nice Hong Kong food? If there's address, that would be better. So excited to this trip.
Just back from HK visiting another Fchat member,re food........anywhere has great street food. All clean and properly prepared,depending on your point of view and mindset,ie if you don't mind seeing your duck hanging up outside prior to final preparation. Go to one (or more) of the islands for a look and you will find great seafood anywhere.
Simon, I assume that in Hong Kong is same as Malaysia. Where there are lots of tourist trap, and not where the locals would go.
Lovely weather we're having! Although I'm not complaining... Ferrari F355 GTS by R-W-P (Rupert in HK), on Flickr Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano by R-W-P (Rupert in HK), on Flickr Aston Martin Virage by R-W-P (Rupert in HK), on Flickr Nissan GTR by R-W-P (Rupert in HK), on Flickr
It does sit on a plank in the front. They do that here to lift the front of the car enough to get the tow truck fork underneath before removing your car... They'll do the same in the back to add the little side wheels. Image Unavailable, Please Login
