Fair point. I can accept the noise level of the cup exhaust. If the new K-tec is not noisier than the Cup exhaust and offers a better performance, why not? Do let us konw once your itinerary is fixed.

When u expect the more-civilised K-tec exhaust be available? Will u bring home one with u for demo? Will leave for Singapore on the 24th. Lets have a drink before xmas. Cheers

yue, if you consider $149k is attractive, then you sure would very happy to learn that the "true" price is only $137k (Fred2001, if u are reading this, you should now know why HK is being called the shoppers paradise). Do remember to let ben sign the contract for you. he can then buy us...

Contract signed. No idea about the size of the light bulbs, can check the handbook tomorrow. Stay in touch. Cheers

Guys, here is the latest position. The OPEL ppl have finally agreed to GIVE. And I agree to TAKE. The deal is as follows: $177k for the car, all options including a Bose sound system (seven speakers) and an in-car GSM phone; and three years warranty AND free services (parts and...

Guys, While I thought the last chapter would be the final one, reality is far from that. It seems that my omega offer was too hard to swallow, the opel ppl were still undecided. told them that today 5:30 would be the deadline, either return my check or a completed contract. They have one...

Ben, No need to worry about spare parts, my relatives in Bangkok confirmed that there was a GM factory there, and they could get me parts easily (even freely, we are talking Bangkok here, if know the right ppl, you get whatever you want). The omega is the OLD model of course, $154k, corolla...

That fxxking MD has not yet decided whether to accept my terms. Seems that he, too is not too sure. Have just threatened the sales that the temp contract would be considered cancelled if still no word is heard from them by tomorrow noon.

Ching(s) (a new name I invented for you two, heehee), The package for the new megane is very attractive. If the opel returns my check this afternoon and cancels the contract, will wait for it. The laguna, while its spec is excellent but there is not enough headroom at the back, and can only...

No modification yet. I only trust one man in HK for modification, and Ben is working with him on the RSR kit. Hope that Ben can finalise the details this time. When u visit HK again next summer, hopefully you will see a 185 bhp red clio voom vooming along tai hang road every sunday morning...

The new car is for the mrs. 144 bhp for a car that is over 1600kg, not my cup of tea, thank you. But being a passenger, a different story. Seats are as big as a sitting room sofa, excellent Bose sound system, electronic this and that. Checked the carsurvey, 4car...various website, all said...

Guys, This is the final chapter. While I was waiting for your wisdom, the opel guy called. My counter offer was accepted by their manager, but since it was below their bottom line, they need the approval from their MD. But they were so confident that they said the contract would be ready...

Went to the showroom with my check book last night. But the green Zafira had gone, only blue and white were left. Not too sure about the colour. Took the omega out for a test drive. Nothing special, except that it was very comfortable and much better made than the Zafira. Left the showroom...

Guys, this is really amazing. The opel guy called me a few minutes ago, making me another offer for the omega. He further cut another $6k from his earlier offer, AND said that I could keep my alfa after the trade-in. They decided to give the alfa to me as a gift. Can you believe that...

Contract not yet signed, but opel wins it 99.99% sure. The offers on the table are: For a 2001 Thai made Zafira 2.2: Price cut from $183k to $149k; first year lic ($5.9K) plus leather interior ($9k options) included; also six service coupons ($2k each); they value my 164 @ $12k as a trade-in...

You can download those setup figures from here in this site. Only problem we have in HK is to find an empty road.

The Macau Golf Club does not entertain walk-in customers. But you can play as a members guest. Weekend green fee will be around $1k, Monday is the cheapest, a few hundred only.

Konahead, I am planning my singapore vacation and need your advice. Am thinking of spending a few days in a resort, choices are : Sofitel Palm Resort in Johor Bahru, harris resort in Batam. Which is a better one? The travewl agent quoted me US$83 per room in Sofitel, is that rate...

We once played with an AP22. The quickest was a mark I. Reached 100km within 7 sec. That car was fitted with R tires, intake, exhaust...modified. Ahh, no spare, too.

The traffic yesterday was really bad. That might tbe the reason for being late. I dont want to second guess whether he had intention or not. Anyway, I did enjoy the test drive very much. A big thank to you. Cheers

Macau? We can play golf on Sat and go-kart Sun. Why waste your time in Bristol? Come home NOW. Cheers

For those who passed their driving test in a golf GTi Mk I or XR3 (like myself), they know what you are talking about and will agree that the 172 is a good choice, but talk to the average buyers, especially in HK. You are talking to the wall. Anyway, u should try the new alfa, too. Not as...

Guys, test drove three cars this afternoon, rainly weather and congestion, not too idle for test drive. First, the new ford fiesta 1.4, fitted with a selespeed type box. Ben, dont import too many clio 1.4. the new baby ford is far better than the 1.4 clio. I am not joking. Its list price...

have to go back to office very early today to prepare for a LegCo public hearing to be held on Mon. Dont expect to be questioned, but then you never know. Oh, yes, I am now also a proud member of the pug club forum. Rabbit had left sometime ago saying that ppl there were starting to become...

I can understand your feeling. The HK clio and Pug guys are OK, nice ppl can also be found in some pubs in Wan Chai; the modern alfistis, well, not too sure. BTW, the Pug club is organising a go-karting competition, to be held in Honeylake in ShenZhen in late Jan. 100cc karts. Can put your...

Seems that we r going to hijack this one as the HK gang forum again. hehehe

ppl do care. thats why there are so many volvos. BTW, is it legal to advertise my car is more safre than yours?

The other guy who is selling alfa in HK is Albert Li, his company is in Sai Kung. Talked to him once few months ago. Apart from alfa, he sells fiat and ferrari, too. Funny thing about the HKAC is that ppl there have different "values". Clive was really unfortunate, had he checked other...

Go ahead. I just posted one myself. Tried to stir thing up a little there. heehee

Also, the site address of the alfa club is: hkalfaclub.net A Clive Wong of Kingsway has recently visited the site, he was not too welcomed, apparently. Ask him for full story.
