Keith, did u get my message yesterdya?

I think its easy for them that they have some F1 trucks.
but yeah it must cost alot to close off the roads in HK

kcleung

its not a small effort to organise transportation, accommodation, permission and schedule from authority for so many things and people.

pinguhk

not small at all but they done this 1000 of times shipping big stuff, like the F1 cars so they used to it.
Ferrari have got there own full time plane to ship things around the world, unlike other makers which need to hire containers or other shipping company

kcleung

really, I didnt know that. u know that for a fact or just saw some post from some forum?

kcleung

so you mean you are impressed also because ferrari team can do these complicated tasks day in day out and made it look so easy?

pinguhk

it a fact.
this is why they ship out the ferrari to italy to fix a mirror on a 360 a few years ago becasue a truck driver nock it off, it cost over 30k just for that 1 part.
they can not do the repaint in HK so they need to ship it back to match the colour.
this is why there is not a paint shop in HK for ferrari.

kcleung

where did you hear that from? I have to say I found that hard to believe.

ps, you know the old gm boss got forced out and the fact that he flew by private plan to meet the senate was definitely a catalyst.

pinguhk

this news was a long time ago about 4 years ago.
it read it in a SCMP
the guy had to get a lone to pay it off.
they say they hired a company like DHL full time to ship parts around the world.

I've heard some rich people ship their Lambo by air cargo back to Italy for an oil change, but never heard of such mirror thing ...
