Much louder! BEAST inside parking lots though, I'm sure you know what I mean :D. If you drive in D, you'll probably be annoyed because its loud, but doesn't get you anywhere hahahaha.

I drive in the semi-manual mode now so that the sounds are much less and you can control more power in the car.

Try driving it in semi-manual :)

I recently spent a couple of weeks in HK. Here are my photos of interesting cars from a foreigner's perspective:

The first Bentley/Rolls I saw.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000281.jpg

Supra!

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000283.jpg

JDM Honda Odyssey. Too bad we don't get these. They look awesome in person.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000291.jpg

Audi A5 Sportback. Very very common. Moreso than A6 or A5. At first I thought this was the new A7 but they are actually different.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000297.jpg

S63. Very loud

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000300.jpg

Nice 997.2 Cab

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000301.jpg

Nice X5

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000311.jpg

Land Rover Defender 4 door, very cool to see!

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000318.jpg

Nice Subbie

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000324.jpg

Turbo GS

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000326.jpg

We went to IFC mall and found our way to the underground parking lot. The next group of cars we saw by just walking for 2 minutes in the underground. There was plenty more underground, but we were in a hurry and had to make dinner. Either way, worth the detour!

Coming through the door, a nice 599

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000344.jpg

I'm not sure if they were going for a GTO look with the black roof

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000345.jpg

Old Rolls stretch

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000346.jpg

Kitted 599

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000347.jpg

A pair of matching Rolls

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000348.jpg

Phantom

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000350.jpg

I believe this is a Brabus V12 G-Wagon

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000351.jpg

R34 Skyline

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000352.jpg

Phantom, LS600HL and one of those awesome vans (sorry I get all the models mixed up)

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000353.jpg

Needless to say, a lot of money down here. I wish I had more time to explore.

Kev

Roach 05-23-2011 12:50 PM

Back outside - pardon the marginal photos. I was often riding a tour bus or taxi when I snapped some of these.

I found that S2000s are very rare here. Only saw 2 on the entire trip

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000360.jpg

Another Land Rover. Totally impractical here but full of awesome

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000369.jpg

Flying Spur - very common here

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000370.jpg

Even more common, however, are S-Classes. They are everywhere. It was easily the most common car in HK outside of taxicabs.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000371.jpg

Saw these within a minute going the opposite way towards the tunnel to Kowloon:

California

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000372.jpg

Followed by an R8

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000373.jpg

Followed by an SLS

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000374.jpg

Followed by an RS5

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000375.jpg

Outside Ocean Park - Quattroporte and RR

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000376.jpg

At Stanley, a really cool little Mini

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000392.jpg

Went to Macau for a couple of days. I now know how to spot Mainlanders. The car scene in Macau is a little different. Nearly every sport compact has a bodykit. Most are otherwise totally stock, but they will have a full kit on. Strange. Some interesting cars in Macau:

LS600HL on a side street near the cathedral/fortress. Odd to see such a large car in a sea of scooters.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000433.jpg

Nice EVO

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000443.jpg

Parked outside the Grand Lisboa hotel - we went here for one of the largest buffets in the world supposedly. It was presented well but the variety was so/so.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000445.jpg

Panamera going by

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000461.jpg

Back to HK

CLS

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000517.jpg

Ghost waiting outside an expensive mall.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000520.jpg

Driver is inside waiting

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000521.jpg

Near Times Square Gallardo with plate "Patrick" waiting a light next to a Flying Spur. I saw the "Patrick" car again in LKF a couple of days later.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000540.jpg

C63 AMG

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000543.jpg

New CLS at the Mercedes store

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000544.jpg

LP560 SL near the Ikea in Causeway Bay

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000548.jpg

The front wheel was really curbed up :(

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000549.jpg

Kev

Roach 05-23-2011 01:06 PM

Went to a motorcycle shop with my buddies as they wanted gear. I think it was in Mongkok, but I was pretty hung over and forgot haha.

M5

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000561.jpg

Walking by an apartment complex, I spotted this M5. It had a widebody kit and a matte grey-ish finish. Very striking. Unfortunately I couldn't get any closer to it

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000560.jpg

Civic Type-R - These look and sound incredible. Please Honda bring your proper R models here!

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000562.jpg

Another Ghost

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000567.jpg

Cool-looking Beetle

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000569.jpg

Sciroccos and GTIs are really common here. Lots of them modded

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000570.jpg

I really liked these backup lights as crappy as they may look. Makes parallel parking at night a lot easier and may prevent a curbed wheel or two

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000575.jpg

Interesting sunroof set-up

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000576.jpg

Another C63, pretty popular here.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000677.jpg

Loving the older EVO's

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000791.jpg

Another Panamera

Last set

Had to go back to the motorcycle shops. Saw a kitted Scirocco outside a motorsports shop

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000627.jpg

Parked in front of it was a Veilside FD like the one from F&F. Fucking awesome to see in person!!

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000629.jpg

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000628.jpg

Outside Langham Place

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000664.jpg

Hit up LKF too many nights. I loved the atmosphere there

Flying Spur navigating the crowded streets

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000645.jpg

911 Turbo on one of the upper streets

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000650.jpg

Evora parked right behind it.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000649.jpg

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000648.jpg

Beautiful F430 on one of the lower streets

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000591.jpg

So striking in that yellow with the optional BBS wheels

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000590.jpg

Totally hammered, we went to some late night eating place in LKF and my honger friend said these people were on some show. They looked like average people to me but meh I was drunk enough. Not hard to guess who I am haha.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000602.jpg

Got back home and felt like this guy, such an exhausting but fun trip

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1000475.jpg

That being said. I miss HK. Way better nightlife, transportation system and just more to do overall. Vancouver seems so boring and pretentious now. That being said, it's only a place to live when you are in your 20's and 30's. I wouldn't want to start a family there.

I'll be back soon!!

lol nice pics kev, should make a side trip to china and see the awesome BYD's and knock off cars there

Roach 05-23-2011 01:25 PM

Johnny!! How was NY? Haha.

After experiencing Macau, I'd be kind of nervous seeing China. Although I realize a lot of the mainlanders in Macau are "new money".

Lucky you Kev. I'd love to meet Mag Lam in real life. She's the girl in the middle, closest to you. Winner of the latest "The Voice 2" singing competition series. Plus, all of the other ones are contestants from The Voice 1 and 2.

Mag Lam:

If you are wondering what "The Voice" is, it's like American Idol, but in Hong Kong, and all the finalists sound like the horrible contestants on the audition shows of AI. The judges never say anything bad, because if they did, that is all they would be able to do.

mx100 05-24-2011 07:44 AM

great pics Kev, it was great meeting you at Grand Central for the Canucks game!

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5023/...0697d995b8.jpg

this is a kitted 599 :)

Roach 05-24-2011 07:52 AM

Thanks mx100! Pleasure meeting you too. Was a great feeling to hang out with other Vancouverites and catch the playoff games there. A memory I will never forget.

dL and Skinnypupp, thanks for the clarification on who they are. They were good sports letting us take a photo with them. I think that was at 2 or 3 in the morning haha.

And yes, that's absolutely a California. Total brain fart on my part.
