His family is a property developer in Australia - doesn't need to work now because he has very large trust fund etc... So he travels the world, lives in nice house on the peak, nice cars and has a team of fund managers looking after his money and making it work for him, so he doesnt need to!!!

He has drivers and bodyguards because he needs to hire "employees" in order for him to obtain his visa here in HK or something like that.

Aston at 18? nice! Why oh why is my family not ridiculously loaded????

It's good to meet all of you today. It was a spectacular meet as so many car were there!

The make is called "Bimbofix", the website is http://www.fairbimbofix.it/eng/
I got my seat from their Taiwanese distributor, that's the nearest distribution point from HK. This seat is the only 3rd party child seat advertised/approved in the BMW website. http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/acc...er/finder.html . Search 5 series sedan > Interior > Child Safety
I have got the seat in RWF and FWF metal frame. So the cost is a bit steep ..

That's the metal base (the ISOfix) rack for rear facing and forward facing respectively.
Other child seats in other brands are just fine, but I do believe the price I've paid is somewhat related to the quality of the material for consumer products.

Your CF indeed blends in to your body color, but does not create significant contrast to make it stands out. From a far look, I barely can see your CF tail.

He cannot accept driving a Nissan, so in the end he didnt buy it....!
he been watching too many top gear
yes no matter how good or fast or well built it is, in the end it is a cheap Nissan brand
