Can I borrow your Rotas and RA1s while you're gone?

Till you can truly believe you are using all of the A048s, RA1s will not really benefit your development. Being able to dance with less tire goes a long way to fully utilize gripper tires...

I've seen you drive, focus on developing

Bring back a load of HKS exhausts...err...Stage 3...err...nevermind...

FWIW, I've eased up considerably due the AO48s.

But, I appreciate your condescending attitude nevertheless. Now... back to stroking your ego.

Geez... and you wonder why your phone doesn't ring when we head out to the track.

My bad, I just don't want you gaining on me too fast

Woo, I made it over here in one piece, man that's a long flight...

Joe168 · 12-02-2006, 10:20 PM

I will be in Hong Kong and Thailand this December too. What is going over there? I went there last month and happened to see a Lotus shop somewhere in Kowloon.

YAUDI · 01-15-2007, 12:59 PM

So I actually did make it over to the Lotus showroom at Wan Chi on Island. Not much in the showroom, a Elise Sport and an Exige S. Did have a LB Exige S sitting out on the street, very nice. Still do like that color.

I asked about the Stage III exhaust and ECU flash and the manager guy told me I'd have to furnish a VIN number to actually order the parts. They don't stock much and basically order parts as needed or requested. I think they said they sell maybe 1-2 cars a month. Cars are a luxury in Hong Kong. Nearest track they goto is across from Macau in China. It was fun talking with them and shooting the sh!t a bit with them. I did pick up a nice Lotus Elise pin and a Lotus Sport polo

. Better than having crap shipped over from England...

Was nice to walk by and check out all the other dealership showrooms in that area too (Lambo, Ferrari, Renault, Opel, Peugeot, etc...)

After a long flight, you might want to visit the saunas of hong kong. Maybe 1.5 hours of massage might relieve your back. Just a thought.

I did it in 2005. You won't have any trouble finding them.
