Holiday, here? concrete central...

Try and get yourself out in the country if you can, sai kung and clearwaterbay are ideal scooby roads but then you wont have a car. Stanely would be another great place to go - and boose it up away from the city.

Where are you staying? tuning shops are in and around mongkok (which is busiest place on earth) and its normally a nightmare. I would jump in a taxi and give them the address to this place (http://www.gpclub.com.hk/).

Let me know if you need anymore travel tips

Another suggestion:
start from Stubbs Road, then to Repulse Bay Road, then Stanley Gap Road, turn into Tai Tam Road and then into Shek O Road to Shek O.
A good mixture of bumpy off-camber bends, open bends, straights and downhill bends.
Avoid driving the said roads on Saturdays or Sundays, and best to do it late at night.

I have some great memories of Hong Kong, well, when I wasnt completely lager'd up over there.. this thread and brought loads back...

recommend you go to Sai Kung, and Lantau island (check out the monastery there with the 1000 steps to the statue..)..

And Wan Chi is fun

Its Wan Chai ya donk

Clarence, good suggestion but last weekend i ended up having to swerve countless times to miss idiots cutting corners short - not worth pushing on there imo :P

Oh well its 7:58 and evo6 boy has just changed his car on friday for a f355 f1 and we're off to the airport for a *ahum* bit of a run I did manage to kick his *** at the gokart track all day yesterday...

Better shave :P
