oh, come on, babysmurf... why not buy a motorcycle! 
If Catherine Bell can ride a red 2003 CBR600RR or a 2004 blue R6, YOU CAN TOO!!!
Besides, it's a lot more fun riding between cars than getting stuck in traffic (says the guy that rides to work from San Bruno to Sunnyvale). Just watch for them crazy cagers (like a silver WRX with an air jordan sticker in the rear window... )

i actually thought about getting a bike
but apparently it's harder to get a motorcycle license here than a driving license?

babysmurf, just read about your great showing at Sport Compact Car's Track Attack '04 in the March 2005 issue. You finished first in your run group at Buttonwillow during the event. Congrats!

Hope all is well in HK.
I contacted my step-bro who works for Invida. He has a friend that lives in HK. He said he would contact her and see if she can show you around sometime. I don't think she is into cars but maybe she knows someone who is.
Well we all miss you over in the states and hope you can make it back sometime for an Unlimited Laps event!
Late,
Lowball

i was reading yahoo HK news, some wrx got busted (our cars seems to have a negative reputation in hk), for illegal racing, and having an "invisible license plate", where with a push of a button, the plate covers hides your license # so that the cops cannot mark you on the go. have you heard about those? i wonder when we'll start seeing them on rice rockets here.
here's the link in chinese...
