it's the standard parking space laid by govement la. it's actually ok once you get used to such braking action.
don't worry i had ventilated discs all round on my RS Cosworth way back, and when u brake your eyes pop out, white smoke as well from the pads....

You can go party all night long on Saturday and then no need to worry getting up.

Sunday morning drive with dim sum at Chuen Lun in TMS will be nice. I heard that they use mountain water for their tea.
True! I should join you guys after the party

And yes, they are using the mountain water for the tea, and some very traditional dim sum that you will never eat else where
But not sure all our cars can park there cos there are always crowded in the sunday morning from 6am -1pm

I go there all the time as some of you might know i live there

Pinguhk, i took my car tonight with the new tyres on.
The feeling was great and simliar to my sport maxx, the noise level was good and my mate said it feels abit more comfortable than the old one.
The performance wise, i will need to wait for another hundred kms to test out, since the tyres are still very new
You cant beat for that price tho

bet you could run circles around a cls63 driven HK style, in your old celica if on UK back roads.
wonder if that CLS could beat a 997turbo or GTR?
lap times of merc amg were not that great in Evo mag

I told you no ipod mods
that sound cheap.
just kidding I bet if you go back to BMWHK it will cost you 40% more
but if compared to Honda HK, for the service/parts apple to apple, they cost even more,
DCHR Motas charge an eyeball for anything, do you still use them?
my wife had a stream some time ago and they changed a fuel filter in 6k mileage???
as i remember the front shocks broke in the 1st month, auto box had a mind of its own etc,.
so much for jap reliability.

CLS63AMG or other AMG(I have driven the E63AMG aswell) can never beat 997T or GT-R, even with that mighty 517bhp
AMG just know how to made a fast car to impress people in paper, but not on track.
M3 is an good example, M3 has 40bhp less than C63 but still can beat it on track

DCHR is an exception i think, offering ppor service and steal people's money.
UK honda offers good service and always been voted to be one of the tops in the country,

My mate has been charged 6K hkd for a faulty brezzer in the parking system,
they say they couldnt find the reason of the faulty,
so they have to rip all the carpet off to find it out! What a Txxt :thumbsdown:
