Hello from Hong Kong
Hi all, just got my 2012 R56 MINI Cooper last week. Felt like I am driving my previous BMW.

I have spent a fair amount of time in Hong Kong over the past few years, love it there. They drive on the "proper" side of the road. Amazing to see Ferraris and Lamborghinis parked on the street in Central, Causeway Bay, etc. I imagine the route up over the hill to/from Stanley would be a lot of fun in a MINI, did it once and wished I was driving a fun car instead of riding the bus. A MINI is an ideal car for Hong Kong traffic - small, nimble, and quick.

We were just in Hong Kong for our first time last month. Those pics look a little like the road up Victoria Peak.

u really dun want to go Stanley on weekends now, too many people and u can never find a space to park. Driving in Tai Mo Shan should be more fun, but my mini dun have turbo, not enough power, haha
