wow i missed a lot on this forum!
Just some quick update. Went on my delayed honeymoon to Tahiti (fuxking expensive, could've got myself some rims and mods for the car) which the wife loved.
Sold the Yamaha r6 today, Im sick of the careless ppl driving S500 in hong kong.
Was looking at the CLK63 Black Series, but it's ridiculously expensive $2,300,000 when normal CLK63 is $1,360,000.
back on topic. I think they can build a small race track over at lantau since it's already got some pretty bad air pollution there. As if some lambos and ferraris will affect the pollution that the 20 trillion buses and taxis hong kong are already doing. That's what i hate about the HK government. If they wanna tackle air pollution, tell ppl to switch off their cars engine when waiting for ppl, not enjoying the damn aircon in the car. Look at the fumes coming from the buses and taxis. We should build a mega fan ( size of a building ) and blow the smoke outta hong kong.
Keith84: I think you should extend your budget for the wheels. $10,000 ain't much. Wheels are the most important step in modifying the car. They cost a lot and you don't want to change them often. I would rather save up on a nice set of rims and lower the car.

I have been asking most of the car maker in HK are they going to import the Green car and all of them say no cos the F*UKing government what let them. they just what money, money, money from the tax of the petro.
In UK there are loads of them and cheep too unlike HK. I would get a Honda Hybrid Civic if it was out in HK.

is it possible to import 2nd hand cars from uk/japan and get taxed at a smaller percentage?
I will never import a car from UK or US to HK cos 100% it will go wrong with it, the weather is not the same as UK so the car behaye difrenty.
Unless itis a classic car then I will import it.

and air/noise polloution is the people most concern.......but why can't we have a small one instead?? i mean one or two football pitch size......??
Sorry.....i know we can't have one, can't we???........just feel sad....and want to chill it out.....![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

Tahiti, where Ella is from? I thought that place is like cheap, I guess I am wrong huh..
What does selling your bike have to do with S500 driver

![Confused](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)
What's the difference between a black series and a regular one to charge such a premium?
Isn't most of Lantau island a restricted zone? You need a permit to drive in there right.
You are right, buses, taxi, trucks, minibus all contribute to air pollution but the majority of people in HK need those to survive. I could live without a Lambo or a Ferrari coz I don't have one yet

Sorry, but I really doubt a 525i can do 240kms unless maybe on a autobahn, HK roads are too short for a 525i to get up to that speed.
