damn so many rich people in hong kong and china. i didnt get any pics, but my aunt lives near the kowloon city ferry pier. anyways there is a long/short term parking spot right across the street from her flat. usually only rich or well off people can really afford parking in hong kong. saw tons of porsches, lambos, Ferraris, bentlys, maseratis and aston marton parked there. ohh and i guess a few GTRs R32, 33, 34 and the newest one....

anyways took this at the ritz carton





i took this at a park in china.





2 chinese douche bag looking guys came out of the car and started snapping pictures with their cell phones at the park. kind of a funny sight. although they were only wearing clothes youd see people in the US wearing. nothing special.

just ran into a flat black aventador during lunch. think its the same one i keep seeing. this car was unveiled locally, so i guess there is just one floating around...the owner either doesnt work, or DD's the thing, because ive seen him at Adventura mall, downtown miami, and south beach 3x...

here is a photo of the unveiling, sponsored by the local dealership. this was actually taken in front of the epic hotel...the exact spot where the valet caused 400k in damage on friday.

Not really exotics, but more unique or desirable if anything:



Miata Spyder anyone?

I loved the Miata, but the wheel whore in me loved the Advans more

And that Evoque was actually quite nice. I was impressed by it and the regular model. Very attractive designs (to me). I have a few pics I need to re-edit since I went overboard with the processing. Ill post them up tomorrow, hopefully.

I only saw the GranTurismo when I posted. The AM is gorgeous as well.

Something about white supercars is amazing.

One of my lifelong dreams is to take a regular white 458 and spec it to a street version of the track-only, Challenge model. Lower it with lightweight centerlock BBS, a stripped, caged interior with double exhaust instead of three. And a loud ass exhaust to would wake up the dead..

This car doesn't have much presence, surprisingly, except for the V10 badge.


This car, however, does.


I started with an S550 here, and then replaced it with an S550/AMG appearance package. Finally, I have captured a real S55. Now I just need to find an S63 or S65.

I passed up taking pics of a couple Maseratis, 2 R8s, & a Bentley. I wasn't passing up a pic of my dream car.

The Shops of Legacy is sort of like Plano's Rodeo Dr. This was on a Wednesday night.

It's not a bad car-spotting area, but I've never been bothered. You stand out too much & people know you're not from that part of town.
