Time to dig out that PlayStation and GT2 career disc nk4e
A Boxster with an entire 911 front? does it look any good? The Boxster I saw had a nice back end, thus the photo, but the front was almost stock. Was too dark to make out any more details.
In the mean time lets go find some BNR34 and feed these guys.

Good idea. I'm thinking a trip Yau-Tsim-Mong area may need to be sorted out sometime soon to get some snaps of some evil modified Japanese hardware. We NEED to find that spanking NSX too. Although I'm not sure how the bleach haired, tattoo sporting wideboys will take to having their cars snapped. I'm actually moving offices to Kowloon Tong very soon so it will be easy for me to get down there. Actually, looking at my Photobucket album I have surprisingly few BNR34 photos even though there are quite a few around. Strange.
The Boxster looked ok, maybe a bit front heavy. Strange choice of thing to do though.

There aren't a lot of them around due to a pretty limp second hand car market and the fact that they're probably all in scrap yards somewhere after being crashed. I can count the nice modded ones I've seen on one hand. Same as S13's, I think I have only ever seen one.
Saw this 180SX recently but they are thin on the ground

Let's check it out sometime soon. Should be some great photo opps around those areas, not that your pics aren't already fantastic! I wandered down to Automall again yesterday lunchtime but the place was closed for some reason =/ Also it seems easy to get into multi-story car parks round central area with a confident swagger, we should do that too!

Yea I did, but having been in the UK for the last decade means that they are just too plain for me, even in HK. In fact there's a black one parked outside across the street from my home with a WRC front bumper rip-off. I'll take a photo of it one day. They are just so boring... sorry.
Edit -
Just added a bunch more photos to my gallery in the newest folder (28th), a few nice cars there for anyone who is interested.

About an hour ago I saw a Tesla Roadster. I chased after it and got a few (very poor) shots while next to him at a light. He turned into the parking lot of a local casino and at risk of being a little bit of a weirdo I doubled back and went to get a better picture. As I was turning up an isle I saw the driver and I said, "Sorry, I really just wanted to get a few pictures of it." he replied, "It's no problem, if you can wait for a minute I'll be right back out and I'll take you for a ride."
Now I want you to note it is at this point that any semblance of me being a generally composed and dignified human being flies out the window. It will not return until I get back in my own car.
I reply with the sort of excitement that the N64 kid had on that fabled morning. "Really!?!?!" So I wait like a silly little puppy, prancing around the car taking photos (my car is parked directly next to it and provides a good size comparison) and generally being in slack jawed squealing awe. The owner returns and is all smiles, "I love showing it off to someone who really appreciates cars." He has seen this enthusiasm and goes on to explain that he still feels it himself, and that he just barely manages not to do a little jig while walking out to it in the morning.
I run a little video on my phone, which of course due to my excitement is embarrassingly bad, but certainly proof positive of my little jaunt. (I'll post if anyone is interested, I managed to not catch anything interesting on film, so it's more evidence than actually enjoyable, unless you like looking at a dashboard while I chatter and then getting a few glimpses of the road.)
He does really lay into the car and it is startlingly quick. We talk about the car, and it is the 2010 model, car number 505 (5th 2010 car) with the fully sorted transmission. What made him get it was that he owns a Prius and wanted to go full electric instead of hybrid. With the rapid charger it charges in about 2.5 hours and it's just astounding. The car is similar in size (maybe even smaller than) an Elise and is incredibly low to the ground. Getting in and out is by no means a mean feat. Room inside is, well... enough. I have similar headroom to my Eldorado and my legs could be straight, but the footwell was rather narrow for my admittedly large boots.
I have a lot more to say regarding it, but for the moment let me say this: If you are thinking of spending $110,000 or so on a car the only two cars you should look at are this and the R8, and IMHO the R8 pales in comparison, except for creature comforts. (The wild sounds the Tesla makes up for nearly all the difference in my opinion)

Great post CirclesCentre, this is the kind of post I long to read during my coffee breaks. I remember a long time ago another member from the US took pictures of a Veyron owned by Ralph Lauren (correct me if I'm wrong) and wrote down the encounter. Moments like these are great, especially with the photos.
Lovely car!!

That was Doug (M5Power) but he left here and now posts of Fchat. You have some pretty cool pics in your Picasa album. Love the Mark II and the yellow S2K, you should post stuff like that here! Not the mention the silver 599. I'm thinking that one is owned by DM18 (the guy with all the hundreds of cars on Fchat), you should post that one on the HK thread there!

He defected to Fchat!?! lol, I posted the silver 599 on page 970 (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showpost.php?p=3610645&postcount=19400)
Now that you mentioned DM18, I just noticed the number plate, I'll post it there now.
Also in the latest album is the bB Opendeck that you dig
I posted this before, but here's a better shot of it. And yes, a chunk of the rear bumper has been bitten off by what must've been a very hungry S2000 lover
wtf, theres about 10 things wrong with thiscar thing

What's really funny is that I saw him again today after I had just picked up some groceries. Like he said he drives it most days.

I saw something good, infact very good. One of my relatives has got engaged to someone who works for Lotus. This meant he managed to get out a Evora for the weekend that we were going camping to watch Santa Pod Flame & Thunder. Was supposed to be getting a ride in it today but the weather was miserable. Infact these photos were taken in the rain too, thats why the ISO was so high. Did you know that there only 12 of these actually sold in the UK? They truly haven't taken off, which is a shame because they are far better than a Cayman or Boxster. I know which I'd have.

Interesting, it has the Choo Choo Custom front end, hood scoop, and decals, but otherwise looks pretty plain. Wonder if it's actually an SS, or if it just has a V6, or is a true C.C.C?

Look again.
I didn't get a postable pic, but I saw a beautiful turquoise and white late-'50s GMC stepside V8 towing a polished '62 Airstream trailer.

Doing a Google search for 1937 Packard, it appears to be a Packard Six.
