It will be great if I could meet some of the great guys on this board. If anybody wants to meet for drinks and/or dinner on the 12th, I'll be honored. You can either PM me or reply here.

I'll be staying at the Sheraton in Kowloon. Hope to meet many of you.

Joe

If the sound gone when the engine warmed, do we have to replace the hydraulic valve lifter?

Are you going to get the 7 seaters?
Q7 is crap so you dont see many on the road

I drive rather aggressively/dangerously when I was young, we all have walked through that door, wild time don't last long when there are more burdens on your shoulders.
I know what you mean especially when you got wife and have childrens.
But drive fast not equal dangerous i have to say, i dont race on the highway and squeeze through the trucks,
Cos that will put your life in danger as well as the others.

But at the end, public road is not safe for any kind of that, thats why you should join us for the go-kart as KC said
