cant agree more, life is short and no regrets.

140k for an alphard. wow, might be I should get one for the wife as xmas present, then I can spend same amount on the e90
actually better for women to drive the estima, that looks better and can be pimped up, Alphard
is too big and clumsy.
the reason for the price drop is the biz for drives between China and HK has plummeted.
so when is you first mod, Sprint booster? Brakes, Vortex or aero stff like carbon or wheels,
there are many choices eh boys??? lets all get KC started

i see many Ferrari with T on but they are driven by mechanics for testing from F HK nearby.

i know of one guy who buys and trades cars for fun, he has a yellow gallardo, black 430 spyder, RS4 etc,. all using the trade plates, i don't see problems if his docs are in line, since he gets rid of them every few months.
T insurance costs much more.
Thanks for all the advice. Let me check with the expert AK47 and see what he says as well. Personnally I believe that if using only for occasional driving such as our monthly drive or weekday morning drive, it should be OK for a T plate. Just get the 3rd party insurance should be adequate.

different value system.

but I dont want to be a spoil sport, I will start with air filter first though I wont go for k&n. a friend is visiting the us at the moment, I will see if he has room to get an amsoil filter for me.

sb is really not my cup of tea, it makes the throttle too sensitive and hard for me to balance the throttle.
