Only in HongKong
My 4th trip up and 2nd trip this year. Though i had to work through the 1st and 2nd night finishing my Volvo article, everything else about the trip was fantabulous. Lovely weather, Great food and Fantastic company set in a the most wonderful location this side of Asia. (Outside Japan of course…)
Managed to make my pilgrimage to that all important store, Model Car Expo! Great stuff they had this time round, but sadly, i had other things in mind for my money and had to drag myself out of the store before i spend my money. There was one car i regret not picking up, the Kyosho Fiat 131 Abarth. The subject matter already made interesting with the always beautiful Alitalia Rally colors, the quality of the model is top notch and at Kyosho’s price range, superb value. It will surely be a future classic in everyone’s collections in year’s to come. My guess is, prices will rise for such a wonderfully made model. Silly me for not grabbing the car… Can’t find it locally. 
Diecast aside, i did pretty much what everyone else will do in HongKong, eat, shop, eat and had a whole load of fun. Accomadation was not too shabby at the relatively new Holiday Inn Express. Located just behind Times Square. Wouldn’t mind going back there again. Mango desserts were always plentiful and wonderful, as well as my beautiful and wonderful friend Jamie re-introducing me to the wonders of HongKong curry fishballs, Krispy Kreme original glaze donuts and chocolate coated popcorn. (Great stuff this popcorn)
Most notable car i saw amidst the sea of S-classes and 7-series’? A very well kept Porsche 356 Speedster. Beautiful…
5 days 4 nights and around SGD$1000 worth of spending later, sadly, it was time to head back home… I have a feeling this won’t be the last i see of HongKong…
