HONG KONG

I choose to stay in the Asian World Capitol for the shift to 2012 and i have had perfect days there. To be honest it's my favorite city at the moment. It is loud and colorful and then also in the middle of beautiful nature and at last 30 degrees on Chrismas is a good idea! Let's have a look at the HK Carfreax again.

Even if there are around 7 millionen people living in this metropolis it is a really small place. So the most intelligent car to have as a daily driver is a small car because normally you don't travel far because the border is close. Small is no reason to laugh in HK. I already posted a lot of cubes, which is the most stylish way to drive small, but this Subaru is also well made.

Its not that i want to focus about Tuning but in i had the feeling there are more modified cars than not modified cars out on the street. So if you are not smart enough to choose s small car - you pimp your ride to be as cool. Personally i like looking at the creations that some times work, sometimes not. Wait, a Audi RS4 B6?

The next level in HK is being rich and show this to everyone which is also enjoyable. But rich does not mean tasteful. Sometimes it is a thin border. The SV stucked in the traffic made some angry sound that i never can forget.

Of Course there are also normal cars on the road. Silver surfers as every where else in the world but stop what is this Scirocco-like but more edgy thing?

Not to forget the I-generation, wearing everything in white and earning a lot of money perhaps transfering money around in the world that never existed in reality.

One Brand made it all over the world with more or less one car which some call "the beetle". As in any other big city you find a lot of them in HK, sometimes heavy modified.

HK is close to Japan and so you can breathe the Japanese Car Culture already. As you as you already guess i took photos of Skylines again, shouting through the tales of glass and steel. Enjoy!

Skylines - me like! Shame there's no sound.
Hope you had a great time in HK - I couldn't make it in the end, despite the short distance from Guangzhou. Had some work squeezed in up north, so it became Hangzhou in the rain. Oh well.
Anyway... back to cars! ;)

Skylines and GTR are great! Wish one anyway for myself)))

@Fab Tuning: I also like the Skylines of Hong Kong. I have never been there, but I heard it's an amazing place.

Seeing this comprehensive overview makes me understand why the styling on some of our 'European' cars is starting to evolve out of control. Good taste is not everybodies taste, and what we are looking at here is the one of the few growing markets left on this earth. Adapt or die!

Like this 'curbed' special a lot, we should do this more. Back to cars - nice.
PS1: WiLL (incl. the VS, this Scirocco 'lookalike')is a Toyota sub-brand, like Scion. Especially the WiLL Vi is pretty special, had it in an old trend watch but never heard of the brand since.
PS2: Not in the pix, but the Scooby R1 has a 'well made' tailgate too ;)

Wow what an update. I would go for the "eggy Rolls Royce"! Thanks for the HK Special Fab!

[Fab]

@Mat: you are welcome!

@Geert:
PS1: interesting, WiLL is new for me, never saw it before or after :-)

PS2: right, it is a shame that Subaru don't sell in good old europe

@Rik: adapting is basis of sucess theses days...

[Rik]

@Fab: Adapt or Lead the way? That's the question ;P

[Fab]

kind of in between, perhaps...
