My Ride: '08 530i Luxury LCI
Default

I've got some luck and seen the 5GT in person, it's a four seater ... it's taller than E60 but shorter than a X6, with almost identical front as a F02 7 series, whilst a similar rear as the X6 ... the overall impression is fair/acceptable - not as ugly as photos in the car magazines, perhaps it's because the car was equipped with a 20" wheel ... so it makes the car looks nicer. The interior is very nice, comparable to a F02 7 series. Price wise ... the hearsay is it will be well over 700K (base car - at least I don't think the 20" wheel is standard).

No, no filter lens was used. I am using the "PRE" white balance on my camera. As you might aware the lights at the carpark @ West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade are all yellowish, I have to use the camera to detect the correct white balance (such as, set the camera to detection mode, shoot at grey colour or white colour object at the scene, so the camera will "learn" and adjust the white colour balance accordingly.) This is not a photoshop effect nor Frankie's magic
yes I know now because only the white balance setting can do this.
I never have used it on my mk2.
I do it in PS or LR, it is easy to control

I just wanna share the joy and announce an offical "thank you" to Mr. Super "Ho Yan", billhk
but as to what it is that I am thanking him about would be only him to know as I promised.

Anyway, since he won't accept anything from me, and that I still wanna show my gratitude,
I am offering a celebration dinner for all the friends who can join in this sub-forum to share my joy...

and yeah, just like the HK saying - "billhk's treat, but I'm paying" (billhk請客,我付鈔), anywhere interests you guys?
How does Jade Garden - Star House sound? Pick a day from only Tuesday-Friday night please thou

So, please suggest date, how about 13th, if you are not superstitious, or 20th if you are?

Bro billhk, now that, I heard is illegal for sure, but I do like it a lot, I think it is real cool since I saw it the first time on the 2Fn2F (or was it FnF?) movie,
however, I did see somebody from the ATV station driving out with spinners on once...
