Wow, he has some uber-rare cars in that collection. Big time
I would be afraid of being car jacked in just about any of those rides. I wonder if he has private track that he can wind them out on. Is that a yellow Porsche 959? That has to be one of my all time favorite cars. The Zonda is pretty pimp too. I like the F50 tucked in the corner. He probably has an Enzo by now.

Wow. Love the pagani zonda in the first pic
I wonder how often he gets to drive these things. I'm sure he has his own personal track or regular access to one anyways.

Another bizarre factoid about HK is that the highest percentage of Bentley's and I think Rolls Royce as well are in HK. Its hard to imagine that less then 100 miles from this guy's place there are probably thousands of people working for $69/ month.

Although he's got a shitload of money invested in those cars it's not like they are going to depreciate. If anything he's probably making money with those cars.

What's the chance that he would let me play basketball there? He probably has some fancy balls made of exotic animals skin...
By the way, I believe that yellow Porsche is 959. Just take a peek at the passanger seat, it's a bit "edgy" comparing to recent models. Also different windshield wipers and skinnier door handles. Besides, RUF CTR (RUF CTR-2, the one based on 933) doesn't look like that. Well, that's what I learned from playing GT3 on playstation 2.
Anyway, that could still be a heavily modified 993 too... Who knows what rich people do? It might be a VW Beetle.

I may be fat but I'm slow
Actually, I don't know what that is. It's not a standard 959, because look at the headlights:

versus
Those are the headlights from the 993. You can tell because they share the inset projector-light circle, as opposed to the old sealed beams of the 959. The 993 as seen below:

Also, there is a difference in the intake on the lower front fender, the fuel filler flap is set into the fender 993-style, versus the real 959 which has it in the hood, and there is no filler flap right under the rear driver's side quarter window, all of which can be seen in this picture of the 959 below:

It appears that actually is a rebodied 993.

Seeing how there is a discussion about the true identity of the Porsche....you know, since no one knows what model it truly is, perhaps all his cars are REPLICAS made from kits.
The Lamborghini may very well have VTEC-i engine in it.

Actually, I think I've seen him on an infomercial with babes in bikinis on a yacht. Something about real estate?

The only thing that I can almost agree on is the clock as present thing, but then again, clock is never an acceptable gift for Chinese, wedding or not.

What a f'ing moron and waste of money IMO, unless your Chinese and its part of your culture.
