When I saw price drop for new cars, meaning that the car dealer foresee a massive turmoil is happening soon (or already happening to the market).

tomato you saw one in tuen mun where some guy had been doing his gf on the hood, thats why
cheap so called "carbon" will melt, the stuff sold for peanuts on ebay,usually with cheap laquer and plastic content.
Using Mipa laquer and proper procedures rtm carbon is very heat resistant, more so than the plastic engine
cover u have now and esp if double skinned.
i used a electric jigsaw on opening up a bigger exit on a unlaquered carbon diffuser and it did not crack or split at all.
i remember some guys saying they could make and import v style E60 carbon bonnets in April but nothing
appeared, all bs.
All raw material costs have increased!!
Man my kid's Yamaha electronic piano cost 8000 4 years ago and the other day when i went into
Tom Lee it was being sold for 18000, if anybody wants to buy it let me know
its the first step for practising before buying a real top end model (don't buy a low model and then have to change to a top model in a short time).

not really, they will have limited stocks, its a sales gimmick.
hk guys who drive these cars have economy on the bottom of their priority list,
i remember i had that blue efficiency badge on and Milton was tearing it off for me.
fuel prices must be reduced!!!!! oil prices are below 88, they are conning us HK drivers!!!

I myself would rather c the oil prices maintain around the current level, actually, which would normally mean the economy not strinking

good idea, might be I should just change to some forged wheels all together. last couple of days, I have been exchanging notes w a 130 owner who pointed me to the perf brakes. he reckons 17" would be better for spirited driving over 18" and I tend to agree w him on this. the search is on
