    Buses are a serious problem because:

    1. Empty buses are running on top of MTR lines. That is beyond madness
    2. There are too many buses for the available stops creating traffic dangers
    3. The overall scheme of rail/bus/minibus is not utilised in a rational manner

    HK government is really letting us down

    Thanks for the advice mate, and I do agree with being careful on public roads. Havn't done ZIC before, too much hassle and too costly to get the car to China; not to mention rather time consuming. Neither do I have a track-friendly car in HK. Did do a lot of tracking back when I was in the UK though - I miss those days, definately better than Shek O no doubt!

    FOC has 1 Zhuhai track day per year. Drive your own fcar to Zhuhai, 2 days on the track and drive back to Hong Kong. Minimal hassle. You can also rent Japanese touring cars at Zhuhai or take a Formula introductory course. Also big fun to rent a motorcycle on the track if you ride. It is not costly or a hassle to ship a car to the track, leave it there for up to 6 months and ship it back. A track-friendly car is required for that purpose. You can take the 8:40 ferry to Zhuhai, do 3 or 4 sessions and come back on the 6pm ferry. Very easy and no more time consumming than a day of golf

    Ferrari had a golf day at Fanling last year. Not sure if they are doing another one this year since they spent a lot on the JB Classic. Will let you know if I hear of anything

    So many corporate/sponsored golf days in HK now. The best is of course the HK Open Pro-Am or the Monday invitational after the Open.

    I often park in front of pret if I need to do a swoop for some DM18 fuel! Need to be quick or can have the same problem as Europa! That is a really dumb place to park and leave the car

    LOL. Thats exactly my point, why would ppl park right outside Lee Garden instead of those few streets that are parallel to Pret? Thats just idiotic to me. But then the cops were all over the area tonight, so theres no chance of running away; lucky i didnt drive :)

    Black Enzo and GTR together on Eastern Corridor around 10:15am heading Taikoo direction, believed to be the black cars/wheels family, not sure though as I couldnt see the wheels with a truck in the way :(

    Sorry no pics either as I was driving in a suit going to Four Seasons for a wedding :)

    It was a bit disappointing at the Four Seasons, for the whole day, only a handful of cars worth mentioning..
    - 2 GTRs
    - blue 360 Spider
    - black 430 coupe
    - Black Gallardo
    - Silver Maser GS
    - Pearl White Maser QP (Beautiful!)

    Hopefully i can get some good pics next time

    The Bianco Fuji QP must be my old car. It is the only one in HK. Black interior, tinted windows, sport GT auto. Fantastic car.

    Why let her go? :(

    Love them Sport GT wheels, that car is such an eye candy.

    Sport GT wheels are beautiful and my old car has silver calipers which looked fantastic IMO. Found QP a bit big as a run around car in HK - I park in lots of difficult carparks - a fact of life in HK as you know. It is a long car. Did not use it very much except for going out for dinner. Valet parking at Four Seasons is a perfect QP outing! For my driver prefer a 7 seater.

    Indeed hard to be a run around car in HK, a pity really.

    Thats why I love my hatchback as a daily :)

    Hope you didn't get the SST! Rumour has it that it is rubbish and they stopped production.

    I got SST, release was delayed while some bugs were fixed and I am super impressed. Shifting is fantastic. Makes GTI seem primitive and I was mighty happy with that DSG box. I have no intention of tracking the car - I also got the Rockford Forsgate stereo with subwoofer, leather interior, BBS wheels, big brakes, suspension and sunroof. Car is super solid.
