yeah, me too! (more curves)
Hi, FrX,
Those curves are so sexy, don'tcha think? And all those stories they conceal...
It just makes you wonder...
how fast did they go?
How many miles have they seen?
Were they driven well? did the car they supported have a natural tendency to push wide? Did the pilot know to keep the throttle open? Were they punished with snap oversteer? How brave was the driver? How well dialed in was the chassis and tires?
(ah, sigh...a moment of geekish reverie...
)
Ferrari Challenge Asia - Prologue
A dear friend and long time Purist, driving in the Ferrari Challenge Asia, invited me to join him in Shanghai for the race there. As I had other business to take care of in the region, I accepted his kind invitation and headed to the "Fragrant Harbour" to...
cen, Salman, DocMing, patience, my friends, patience...
I know what you guys want, and more importantly, what you guys NEED... ;-)
Hey, Big El...
I'm not following? A figment of whose imagination? and what is? Cheers, hope all's well. TM
Working on it...this ain't as easy as it used to be!
when I used to be able to hard code html into a free standing webpage... DOH! :p
Always a very interesting adventure TM.
Look forward to the F car information. Safe travels. JerryW
Now that spells trouble... LOL
Don't tell me that you both were there? LOL. Regards, ED-209
You take photos...
...of elevator control panels??? Seriously? Ming, you gotta getta life! Cheers, pplater.
My friend...
My friend runs the company that makes the control panel, he told me about this one and how there is a way to do certain things (sorta like the konami codes ala NES) so we were messing around with it. -MW
I also always miss the black tie receptions i have to commit ;-) keep the second part ...
Coming. After such a good start we want more! Cheers. Luc
:-) Thanks!
Hi, Luc, Look at the beautiful curves; the play of light and shadow over the surfaces; the stories told by the wear and tear from hard riding... Man, if only tires could talk! Stay tuned... TM...
yeah, me too! (more curves)

Given that they're race tires, probably a few laps...
..around the track before they're history ;-)
Methinks you've been reading one too many ...
... of Dr Cheong's threads. And who knows what Bernard would do with used rubber! Great travelogue and wonderful to see you enjoying life's small pleasures. It's the details that count. Andrew
thanks, Andrew, it's been a tough start to the year...
life goes on. until it doesn't. Cheers, mate. TM
Honestly...
...I think you may be an undercover operative a la James Bond. There's always something slightly enigmatic and a little dangerous about your travelogues! LOL! Safe travels! Cheers, Daos
What an amusing read
Thomas, I've been laughing since I read this when you first posted it. You sound so foot loose, fancy free and just plain ol gittie... Are you under the influence? I can hardly wait to read your next installment. Take care, Helen
Glad it made you smile, perchance to laugh out loud!
Hi, Helen, Life's so damned serious, sometimes we need something to distract us from the hardships and sadness... Glad I could help. TM
"The reunion was joyous, almost tearful"...
She was born in Le Solliat? Feel free to show us pictures of how she has matured... Cheers, pplater.
Interesting that...
you're the only one that caught that (or at least mentioned it, online, though I did get a few private emails...) It was a joyful reunion, and indeed she has matured in a most refined, "well worn" yet dignified way. I'll check and see if she's willing to ...
Please do!!...
Whilst you are at it, ask if she would like to live and sing with a fervent admirer (and one of her younger siblings) in this tiny corner of the Antipodes. ;-) Cheers, pplater.
If this post could speak...
What would it tell me? There's at least one photo with it's comments missing. I wonder if there's more? elan
You must have been staying...
... at the Upper House! That view is instantly recognizable to me :P Cheers, Enrique
All the PacPlace properties have spectacular views...
Hi, Enriguf, do you visit HK often? I like PacPlace because it is convenient yet quiet, but of course the MO and it's sister property are most convenient... Cheers, TM
I suppose...
... I go there relatively often. It's a very easy flight coming from the Philippines, so I find myself there more often than not (although I tend to spend more time in Singapore than HK). But yeah, the PacPlace hotels are usually my go to lodging for a we...
