    Boy love that Titanium colour, it was fitted with some kind of faded red interior and it looks stunning...

    I'm afraid it was a dinner party and the lighting was far from sufficient to warrant any reasonable pictures. I'll be visiting the dealer soon, hopefully to have a real good look again and will try to take some pics...

    I'm afraid thats not a good excuse for no pics!! LOL. Seriously though, I was quite disappointed with the event. Not with the organization, but with the cars that turned up. 90% of the fcars were 360's, something i see at least 3 times a week! Then some 612's, 550's, 575's which are also pretty common in Hong Kong...besides the Superamerica of course. I remember the 'Ferrari Days' back in the good old days had a lot more interesting fcars, like the BB512, Testarossa, Daytona, F50, F40 etc thus i was expecting at least 1 Enzo, but NOT ONE!! Very disappointed indeed! Well I suppose it was the weather and the date...being a day before the long weekend and all, o wellz, I enjoyed my time.
    Here are some of my pics, note the 360 on the first pic, rice of the day, an original 360 with a Challenge Stradale badge on!!! puke!

    Tx AC6 for saving the day. Very funny abt. the timing of your fifth pictures. If you did it a second later, you would have gotten me & my car. I was a few cars behind the white 996. (NO, not that lorry! :)

    The group with the 996 are the friends (white 996 guy is my neighbour) that I was supposed to drive over with. Unfortunately, had too many things to clear off before the long holiday.

    Actually I was suspecting those to be your friends since they were the only ones that came as a 'group'. A pity you couldn't make it Mark!

    Wow! The Titanium 430 is beautiful!
    I'm sure some of them had to go through a tunnel. And yet no one filming :(
