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:
same as krown motas, sole dealers in hk think they are god and will give shat service,
i'm glad Richburg and others are doing a great biz in 7 seaters et al.
personally i think BMW HK service is much much better than DCH audi and MB if you compare the dealers, some guy said he had a B class and the MB people treated him like a moped owner!
i remember that after a service the dch technician couldn't figure out how to put the seatbelt back on the childseat and actually tied a huge knot on it, why? he could have asked or left it.
i am sure they never changed the oil either, cos the oil was black afterwards.

No, i hope he has it aswell Was driven both cars in the Merc museum in brooklands UK,
you can drive any of their AMG on their private track, you should go when you back to UK

Your friend getting the Panamera? I have heard it will cost nearly 2mills for the entry model!!

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.
sounds good then we will go there but I forgot how to get there my beyou can upload a map from google earth

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
maybe we park our cars at TMS car park and just drive 2 cars 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
Happy for new tires setup

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
the AMG are only good in strat line like the US cars, they are nothing compare to BMW cars on the track or road
