I check the go kart in zhu hai, pretty crap so dont need to look at this one. mikehk is also interested in go kart.
I would guess the HK one will be crap aswell, i've been to Macau one before and i think the track design is great, but the maintance and the staff quality is poor. Maybe i will go to HK one this weekend to check out first

Test drove the Golf GTI yesterday, the setting is very soft and not aggresive as the TT even though it has higher bhp.
You will need to put your foot down to squeeze all the power out, the power comes very gentle but it will be suit everyone's driving style, very clever.

The car is fun to drive and very well equipped, although the feedback from the steering wheel are very "electric" and cant compared with our bimmers.
the sales yelled to slow down as i was driving madly, but it was so funny...hahaa

yeah
this is why I never get a ferrari unless I got rich
you will be better off getting 2 car for the 1 and have much more fun Caterham and Atom 3 and still have loads of $$$ to send it up for trackday
IMO you need to be super rich in order to drive one of these super cars.
Say they would easily lost a couple of million in 2-3 years time.

IMO a KTM X-bow or an Atom has higher no. of head turns then a few million dollar Ferrari/Lambo.

no need to go fast just try out the 2 corners down just coming out from TWO tunnel and going back up to lam tin.
you will brun rubber just going slow ther, its a left right turn down then up hill.
