I would love to meet up with some 993 owners here. I do pretty much everything on my car and so know the 993's reasonably well.

All the best

Look forward to meet you in near future.

Hi Berni,

Welcome to the Rennlist Hong Kong Sub-Forum. As the weather is getting cool here, now is the best time for driving. So bring your car back ASAP.

Look forward to see you at our coming meet.

Hi Guys

That is a great pic. When is the next meet? I see quite a few 993's in HK which is great. Not so many 964's though.

Actually I thought that bringing my 993 to HK might be very expensive, but it seems not. I thought the 1st registration tax was on the list price, but in fact it is on the purchace price, which cvan be discounted at 25%pa. I have owned the car for 2 years and it was not expensive as it has done 185K miles and when I bought it needed a lot of work (most of which I have done).

I will be SO happy if I can get it out here.

Berni

If you guys meet again please count me in. We had a few meets a few years ago but enthusiasm totally dropped off.

Hey Chris!

Long time no see. Wouldn't mind a catch up at some point either. It's been a while.

Hi Guys,

Went to check out this 993TT few days ago:

http://hongkong.asiaxpat.com/classif...es-(owners)/3/

Guess what, it's the same one been selling in Tsuen Wan for years. Seller bought it in Aug at low $600K and now a quick flip for $788K. He did put back the correct wheels, steering wheel, CD deck, & exhaust. Unfortunaely it is a RWD and not a 4WD. 5 hands with 51,000km.
