If the car was for myself, I would say 5:45 am. unfortunately, i have a clio already, and the new car is meant for the mrs. better make it in the afternoon. talked to my wife of the possibililty of replacing the 164 with another alfa product. She wasnt too keen. Dont know how she would...

Ben, I prefer the estate more, too. However, for reasons unknown to me, your ppl are more keen to sell me the saloon than the estate. David gives me a call on a daily basis after Ivans contract. I told him to give me a few weeks to consider and shop around. There is a chance that I will...

Still waiting for Eddie call. Shall be free this Sun afternoon. Hey, remember you said earlier that you would be in HK by this Sat, right? Tony

Kevin, You expect a "perfect" car from Reno? Young boy, you must be "too simple and sometime naive". (joking) I can give you a long lonf list of why clio is not a perfect car, such as the not too comfortable driving position, insufficient cooling power from the aircon, not too adequate...

Alfa has sure made a lot improvements. Have yet to tell my wife that I am arranging another alfa test drive for her. Dont know how she would react to that. Anyway, do call me when you come home, owe you more than a drink. Was trying to learn a little more about the new megane from Ben and...

Leo called me during luch time. We talked for a while, he said he would ask Eddie to arrange a test drive for me. Will keep you posted. u are really "efficient".

Knew you would say that, Ben. The only thing I dislike is the front metal thing. But the car is very competent and far beyond my expectation. It would be a much better choice than a collora. Will test drive a 307 SW (hate the look of ordinary 307) and the mondeo next week, maybe the 156...

Hi cyue, tried to post a message, but it didnt appear. Strange. My number is 9416 6032. Gvie me a call when you are in Hong Kong. Would love to make new friends and test drive the JTS, dont let Leo has high hope. My wife really hates alfa. She had witnessed and was involved in many...

On the topic of 156 vs Laguna. My comments are as follows. They are different cars, the Laguna is more saloon like. The good point, really good point is its suspension setting. I didnt expect it to be so good. It is very comfortable yet provides a lot feedback and control. I didnt trash...

Thank you for your kind offer. The Reno man made me a reasonable offer, not the highest (no, I didnt cancelled the clio order, the contract was signed an hour ago). I told him to allow me a week or two to think it over. The only thing about the Laguna that I am not too sure about is its...

all alfas since Alfasud, except new models like 156 and 147; Fiat Uno, Coupe; Citreon BX Gti; the most powerful car I driven was my late fathers 450 SEL 6.9. That was very very quick. I was then only 15.

Ahhhh, so you are connected to the Kingsway. Should have told me first. No need to make any complain, dont want ppl to lose their job. Job market in HK right now is really really bad. No harm to tell them to be nice to the guy who wants to trade his 164 for a JTS, though. heehee. The...

my heart goes for euro cars, but logic tells me that japanese cars are more reliable. My major concern now is to get rid of the old alfa. Talking about Kingsway, my experience wasnt good. I phoned them last week, told the guy on duty that I would like to trade my 164 for a 156 JTS...

The passat 1.8 T and 156 JTS are priced around $280k, almost $100k more than a laguna. besides, the dealers are not interested to have my alfa as a trade-in.

Cyue, My wife prefers collora to 156. Not because of the style or performance but alfas overheating problem and big turning circle. She would kill me if I replace my 164 with another alfa. Besides, alfa in Hongkong has became very expensive and to make thing worse, Kingsway is not...

Hi, am considering replacing my alfa 164. Am impressed by the Laguna II during a test drive, but not 100% sure about its reliability. Any advice, please? HKclioman

Ben, Ivan has now made up his mind and will take one of the three remaining RS. He is now thinking whether he should wait till you are here or sign the contract before leaving for Taiwan later this week (they are going to open a new office there). In view of the small number that was...

Ben, Do you have any idea when the megane II will be available, and which model you guys will import. I will have to replace my 164 by March the latest (lic/imsurane will expire in April). My wife wants an auto box and small turning circle in the new car. Does the megane II fit her...

Guys Would like to let you know that a go-kart gethering is being organised. Venue: ShenZhen. kart: 100cc karts No. of races: 3 Px: below $1k each. Date: 9th. However, quite possible, the gathering would be cancelled as only a handful has shown interest (we are experiencing the...

" it understeers and torque steers far too much". All powerful front wheel driven cars would understeer or torque steer (Hence FR is still the proper format for racing). You experienced less understeer and torque steer in your old 106 because it was less powerful. Dont push the car too...

I have now done over 8,000km. The Contis are worn in and producing decent performance. I dont hate them as much as I used to. Will consider fitting ToYo Proxes later. THey are much cheaper compared to F1 or Contis.

Kevin, Can understand your hard feeling, but then the matter is out of Bens hands. Talking about illegal racing, you guys better be more careful during Nov/Dec. The Police will step up their actions and WILL arrest not just the racers but whoever they consider acting or promoting illegal...

The section leading to the Clear Waterbay Country Club is OK, a lot of quick corners. Vy much like the A-45 between Rubgy and Coventry. Only thing is, it is too short. On the ECU cover, I was curious, too. BTW, a good news to you, Ben. I saw a Laguna on the street. I think the car is...

Hi Kevin, have we met before? Hope that accident wasnot too serious. How old is your car? If it is less than a year old, your insurance policy should offer you a replacement if it is beyond repair. What had you done to your ECU cover? I am curious. I mean that is a metal cover, its...
