haha you and your friends can have a R8 mini meet! it would be a sight to see 3 R8s running side by side in the streets in HK.

can i tag along for a ride if i ever go back?

i was also wondering where u can unleash the power of such a high end car in HK? the streets are so small and there are so many cops.

Congrats on the R8! That is one supercar that seems like it can be reliably and even comfortably driven. As for the McLaren....holy crap!!! I wish I hung out with your group of friends.
