This is strange, I thought they used to use Mobil 1 0W40

I think You can choose the parkings at "Man Yee Building" and "The Center" down there, or, the parkings at "The Centrium" (where "Dragon-i" is I think) and "Universal Trade Centre" on Arbuthnot Road. I would choose the later, just check the google maps you will see.

Man Yee and The Centre is too far away!

Ive tried parking at The Centrium last time, but my car sits too low and I couldnt get up the slope in the car park without scraping the bottom of my car!!!

I have parked in Universal Trade as well... its a better option for my car!

Yes, but only able to do 1/4 - 1/2 circle. :thumbsdown:

The throttle control is so hard because you have to take care of the hand control and the foot work at the same time.
