I think it was pulled because the highest bidder didn't get a fair and full description in the ad.

Thanks mate. Ummm, what safety gear do I need exactly?

John McM

Ear muffs or a helmet are a must for crying during the breast feeding period (mother and child) After that you will have developed selective hearing i.e. You never hear the feeding cry at 2am so no protection is required. Gloves are a good idea as well for nappy changes. A race suit will protect against fluid emissions. I also recall that 911s have a soothing effect on restless kids. Get the white car and you can go out on 'sleep runs'. All in all you are already well equipped!

Todays HK motoring highlights. F12 in downstairs residents garage off friends apartment complex where we are staying. There must have been 30+million+ USD of hardware in that garage (mostly Merc and Audi, Lambo, Ferrari & Panamera & Cayenne - havent seen a single 911 today full stop!).

Spotted this Pagani Huayara today when riding on the tram. Can be many of these in the wild, first I've seen (when I visited the Pagani factory they were making only the Zonda F). Apparently two 991 GT3 have arrived in HK, both flown in for wealthy customers. The rumor here is they are selling 50% over list on the secondary market such is their RHD scarcity and given the wealth I see here since my last visit 10 years ago hardly surprising. To give you and idea our friends apartment is 55m2 in one of 5 towers that are 66 floors high. It cost $2 million NZD. There are 2600 apartments in the complex and the cheapest ones go for 1.5 million NZD. A three bedder on the higher levels will go $4.5 Mill NZD+. To put it into perspective were are over 2000 similar towers here! Heres a picture from the balcony towards Kowloon and from the car-park back up HK Island and you will see what I mean!

Do they get a sea view for that?

Eh - what's the GT3 proposal??

I was there recently and all those apartment towers made the place feel like it was a real rat race there. Didn't realise how much they cost!. We find it pretty weird after our green scarcely populated lands. I bet they'd love our free running roads in those awesome machines, eh!

John McM

Tui moment, yeh right. I don't think many NZ people have a sense of the wealth building in Asia. Your average salary earner in NZ has no buying power to compete with what these people can pay. Buy 964s while you can afford them!

John McM

Pushing the envelope. Sow the seed for when it's needed Actually, I'm more drawn to the 964. I'm stuck in the '90s....imagine you are visiting your car at this stage of its build

Perhaps we need a strategy session pre Sunday - we'll support your gt3 proposal if you support my 981 cayman s proposal...

John McM

Could work but the BS meter will likely be on high alert around 70 odd Porsches. Let's hope it's dry on the day.

Yeah, if you go to the balcony you can see a nice view of the harbour. Better by night. Roads here amazingly traffic free. Not many cars vs populace due to expensive acquisition and storage costs.

Reports from UK and Europe on new GT3 indicate it really is an around proposition. First customer in car footage from track days suggests that it plenty quick. Getting excited now....off to Zurich tonight.....

The Huayara interior is incredible. On the latest Top Gear 'The perfect road trip' there's a good battle between one and a Cayman 'S' at Monza... One posts a time of 2:15. The other is 2 seconds quicker...

Guys, I've posted up some Rennsport/Hampton sticker designs on the rennsport forum. Have a gander and if any strike your fancy let me know, also if anyone can find a way to sticky the sticker topic it would be handy.

Macca the McLaren showroom in HK is worth a look if you haven't stumbled across it already. Although we will be getting one in AKL soon enough,

It's open now, where the lexus showroom used to be on Great South Rd. It has an 80's F1 car in the window............
