RWP, of all the HK spotter threads I have read on different websites online, you by far got the best catches, please keep them coming!!
Thanks for the positive comments guys, much appreciated!!! Unfortunately I'll have to keep posting my older spots until I plump for a new camera after breaking mine.
Great collection of exotic cars photo crusing on road in Hong Kong, RWP. I wonder if you have the camera with you all the time when you head out.
The C63AMG has just come out. First ones are on the road for about a month. Many were waiting for that model. One of our fchatters got a deadly beautiful white C63AMG. Seats are fantastic
Damn not having a proper camera. I can't believe what I saw tonight. Just sitting having a drink in a bar on the Island I saw a white Lambo Diablo SV, a black CLK55 DTM cabriolet (1 of only 80 in the world), a black 430 Spider, red 360 Spider and a silver DB9. In the space of about an hour. The Lambo and the CLK55 were just jaw-dropping. These and an SLR two days ago, plus a GT2 and a Murcielago last night? Right, I'm going to buy a new camera tomorrow...

I spotted that GT2 when I got off work too.. HK is really a small place. Also saw a facelift SL65 on T plates on the way home, it looks mad! I believe the SV belongs to one of our fchatters?
Hong Kong probably is the heaven of exotic car spotters, I don't think there are other places (except Monaco) that you can see an exotic car that frequent in a day.
Oh yeah? Nice. Ironic that you saw the new SL65 too after our chat a few posts back. Man, I want to see one of them. The SV was just epic. Since the 80's I've always been a Ferrari over Lambo man, but when you see them in the metal those things just leave you stunned. Same with the Murcie. Looks kind of soft in pictures but in real life it looks like it will eat your children.
From the black seats and big brakes, I think this 575 SA may well be me! Well spotted and nice photo!....although I don't remember me wearing my Stig outfit. Where was it taken? Somewhere around Gloucester Road in Causeway Bay perhaps? Image Unavailable, Please Login
BTW, I was given various numbers of 575 SA in HK from different folks in IMSS ..... that there were either 8 or 12 575 SAs allocated to HK, about 200 to USA, 8 to Oz, 8 to Japan and about 70 to UK. The rest must be dotted around Europe and the ME. I have no idea how many are still here. I know of a red one with brown seats (and a very naughty number plate...was it naughty on the one you snapped?), a black one with black seats (know the owner well) and my own red/black one. Not seen any others so far. I would love to see the yellow one! I have seen a yellow 550 Barchetta here and that is cool.
I know of it too as he is my neighbor and also works very close to my workplace He drives it 24/7 as long as theres sunshine, more power to him!
Haha! Yes, the Stig made a appearance so as not to invade in anyone's privacy, I think he looks very at home! You're right it was on Gloucester road, just outside the Porsche dealer. Thanks for the comments the photo came out really well, I can send you the original if you want. btw lovely car you have there. I'm a sucker for anything based on the 550/75 platform. Funnily enough I bought a new camera yesterday and this 550 was the first car I snapped with it, also right next to the cwb Porsche dealer. I haven't seen an SA with a naughty plate though...

Thanks mate! The digital insertion of the Stig was very professional! I could not spot the join. Probably looks more "suited" to it than me too! I would love to see he original just to see how big the smile is on my face when I am driving th SA. Nice rear end of the 550 too. I love the SA, love the open top, but kinda think they could have done better at the arse end. Still nice, but the 550/75 back end is so much more cooler.
Well, more of a focused look in the photo, but I'm sure you're smiling inside! btw check your PM for piccy I think the SA/Barchetta/Coupe split opinions. I think they're all great, but perhaps the Barchetta has the most lithe profile. SA is plain stunning though. I'm not a fussy man, I'd take one of each!
6pm yellow gallardo pulling out of ferry pier. 7pm blk modena spider and lime green lp640 in front of my hotel, landmark mandarin oriental. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Fantastic green LP there! Great spot! Probably going to get myself down the beach at Deep Water Bay today while the sun's not blazing. Perfect weather to get some cool air through a supercar's engine too so hopefully I'll see some interesting stuff. In the meantime how about some of the best of Blighty some of the more interesting (model/colour) Astons I've seen around... - DB7 GTA (Rare as hell) - DBS lookalike - DB9 Sport - DB2/4 - V8 Vantage - Snap - Ditto - V8 Vantage Volante - Vanquish S (Sound of thunder) And with that I'm out of attachment space. Will have to get my subscription sorted quick!

Does anyone know the owner of the green Murcie? He seems to be an avid horder of Lambos. That exact plate used to be on a white Gallardo SE and I have seen the '55'/'66' combo on a few other Lambos, namely a white G-Spyder and a white LP640. Quite a collection!
Hi Guys, I spotted a nice LP640 this morning, full options. The car is only on the road for 3 days. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I've noticed quite few new LP640's on the road within the last 6 months or so, that orange one looks great and the green one which i have never seen actually driving just parked at hotels.
