Hello Simon,
我叫KC，大約3~4年前已經開始遊覽你個網頁，好開心難得見到一個咁堅持、咁有恆心去寫一個關於自己對車既一個網頁。唔好停，我好想繼續一路睇落去。
我十幾廿年前第一次接觸Fiat係架UNO 1.4Turbo，當時我朋友玩緊架子彈CRX，有日搵佢幫我剪頭髮，佢拎住份cataloge問我呢架車點，睇0~100仲快過架CRX..........我話個駕駛倉咁好似飛機駕駛倉咁既..........一個月後再搵佢剪頭髮，佢門口已經泊o左架紅色UNO。當時我仲細，仲係學神，乜都唔識，淨係覺得真係好快，逢車過車，跟著日後都成日留意UNO/PUNTO，可惜冇錢。
我40歲人車齡只有10年，乜都唔識，請多多指教。我依家揸緊Smart Forfour，我買呢架車之前有睇過147
M/T，當時佢最尾果批棍波只賣18萬幾........可惜賣淨display架黑色，冇我想要既紅色，最後行o下行o下就買o左架Smart(o丫，其實我係攝影記者，Forfour係我車版同事推介)。
言歸正傳，我最近o係英國訂o左套EBC brake
pad返黎，可惜搵極都搵唔到brake碟(Smart實在太少野改)。我車房話你隻碟行o左萬六公里，咁新唔使換啦，拎去'光'咪得囉，仲平.............跟著我就諗起我曾經o係你呢度睇過一篇關於開皮/碟(真係o係你度，我學o左唔少野)。睇返你話過唔好用'光'過既碟去開皮，要用舊碟/皮，點解呢?如果用新皮、新碟又點呢?
另外仲有一個問題，最近我心思思想搵架上一代既ALFA
Spider玩(查實自156facelift之後就開始中o左ALFA毒)，睇過兩架..........唔係好得同唔係好識揀，可唔可以教o下我呢?
many thanks & regards,
kc
Hello KC,
thank you very much for the letter, i am
truly overjoyed for your support. I will keep up the writing. Recently I
spent a lot of time writing for 信報, didn't write anything in my web. Quite
upset because of that.
Wahh Uno, I envy your chance to experience
the first turbo UNO, i can only imagine its existence.
Just did some search over the internet and
seems that no high performance brake disc is made for ForFour. Bad bad.
It is not late to try italian motors anytime
now, because i think we have established our support more than just an
enthusiast club.
About the brake bed-in procedure, it is
actually not any secret. Just imagine you are cooking a 12oz sirloin
steak, you have to cook it in a gentle way, keep the heat, but not
overdone it, otherwise it will be burnt and useless. gentlely use the
brake to heat it, drive in usual manner to cool it, then repeat the cycle
for about 10 times as the beginning. Then drive in usual gentle manner for
about 200-300km during daily usage. Just don't over cook it. After that,
you will have a very excellent brake performance. It may be clumsy, but
actually just use it normally for 300km will be OK.
The idea of Bed-in is to allow brake pad
material to get onto the metal of the brake disc, so that when brake pad
material is fully on the brake disc metal, then it will be like brake pad
rubbing brake pad. old disc/new pad, is suitable for track use, to bed in
as short distance as possible, because there is limited track time. For
road use, it is not problem, new disc/new pad is good enough.
Well, let me stop here. too much talking
la.
Thank you very much for your letter.
Cheers
Simon
Dear Simon
I first wrote to you years ago for advice and I know we never managed to meet up.
I am now thinking the unthinkable – selling my Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo
I could hand it to a dealer here but I would rather sell it to someone who cares for and wants this car.
I bought it from Italian Motors in 1997 and it has about 34,000 km on the clock. It is in pretty good condition and needless to say I have a great time driving it.
If you or club members are interested, I can send you some photos.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Chris
Woww....
please come out and share the italian joy
first before consider selling it.
Really surprise to know that we still have 20v
turbo Coupe unseen in Hong Kong.
Yes, we do have people looking for Coupe but I
still hope you will keep your Coupe because at this moment, we have
finally manage to maintain our italian babies in good shape and in
reasonable expenses.
How about we meet up this sunday? We have a
team of Coupe gathering every Sunday just talking silly things.
Please I sincerely invite you to join us.Show
us your Red beauty.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Happy motoring
Simon

parts from Hong Kong Alfa Romeo dealer in Kowloon Bay tel.23056187
2.pilot panel? what is it?
3.idle valve has stopped production, but we have a source from Taiwan.
4. shocks, I highly prefer Bilstin with Eibach B6 Sport kit -35mm, to go
further with coilover, I recommend KW 2 .
5. meeting yes!!! we have regular sunday meeting, if you like come and
have breakfast together.
What is the colour of your Coupe. Didn't recognize that we still have
unsee 16v turbo around in Hong Kong.
Happy motoring.

Your message are most useful for a new learner (want to
buy a Fiat Coupe). Low cost Insurance without loading, medium size of the car, attractive Italian Style especially the interior, affortable price for a 2nd hand used car.
Understand that there are no Fiat Agent in Hong Kong and less than 15 Coupe on the road. If any one damagae then the quantities will come down. I believe many people are interesting to purchase this model because they understand you are having an expereiences garage to reapir this model of car.
Do you consider to import the used car ( I means the 2nd hand car ) from EU. As you said, all parts are purchsed from UK, there is not a problem for sourcing this Coupe in UK. I learn from one of the member of Fiat Red Coupe on 23 Oct., he said 20 V Turbo will be the best choice for Hong Kong. You will try to order 2 sets of this Model, if the market is good then will become a 2nd hand agent in H K. The major color will be Red, Yellow, Silver & Black.
Best regards,
JC
I am rebuilding an S1 Montecarlo Spider in HK (See photo) and have a
Bertone X1/9 that's on the road as well.
Saw an Integrale (dark blue) near Luk Keng Village Sunday morning,
along with a bunch of Fiat Coupes. Very nice.
Cheers,

Thanks Simon.
Great site. Maybe I'll join you guys once I get the Lancia sorted.
Been a long rebuild and still loads more to do. At least the X1/9
runs well. Just got it MOT-ed.
BTW, I am looking for a 2-litre Lancia Thema donor car (for the
engine intake system) so if you guys come across one, let me know.
Cheers,
Eli
Hello Eli,
the cars you saw there are our club
members. It's wonderful to know you are holding TWO HK-least-desirables.
Fiat and Lancia. My goodness, but they are just wonderful, aren't they?
Keep them going.
Happy motoring,
Simon
版主你好,本人很欣賞你的website,資料很詳盡及有用.
本人大概於一個月前買了架二手Pnuto Cabriolet 00年1200cc 有以下問題請教不知可否告知小弟:
架車要行1.10/km 以1200cc黎講似乎不太合理,,有否需要換air flow
sensor及會否慳油一點哩及有否其他意見可減少油耗.
謝謝你的解答
Best regards,
Aldous Yuen
原來你買咗, 恭喜
要知油耗, 要先知你住那裹?駕Punto出入咩地方?
airflow meter不會减低耗油量
換油換火咀換風格check呔氣關蓬可減低耗油量
try

I got your information from
http://forum.hkfiatclub.com/
I am the new owner of a 1993 Red Lotus Esprit SE Turbo High-Wing. (was advertised in 28car.com or car8.com)
I have contacted the owner of a 1996 Yellow Lotus V8 Twin Turbo(was advertised in carcity.com.hk), the owner of a 2000 Yellow Lotus V8 Twin Turbo(was displayed at the Wanchai convention center car park). He also owns a 4-cylinder version Esprit SE Turbo
We are trying to contact all the Esprit owner in HK....(I am trying to join the hkfiatclub forum now)
Hopefully, we may organize an Esprit group meeting or something, who knows.
If you can forward my information to the new owner of the 1990 Lotus Esprit Turbo, I will really appreciated.
Thx Eric Wong (my car's site)

Hi Simon,
你好,狢狢seach到hkfiatclub 呢個web site,好開心.
有小小問題想問下你...thank you.
我有around四年牌,今年26但一直都冇咩點鍮車
,唔知新牌仔(都算係掛^^)適唔適合鍮Coupe呢? Coupe 算唔算易鍮呢?
我一早已經好想買Coupe架啦,平民法拉利........但當年要成30幾萬就真係幾金......
唔知以下呢架你覺得點呢?我就覺得如果架車冇咩問題的話呢個價真係Best Buy.
好想加入Fiat 大家庭.~~
Best,
Erick
Thank you very much for visiting our web.
the Coupe you found in 28car is quite...
unattractive to me.
Cheers
Simon
Simon兄你好,
從貴網頁得知閣下都擁有一部Ford Fiesta, 小弟上個月亦都買左部二手嘅嚟玩吓 (02製造/03登記), 貪佢個波箱過癮、外型幾討好、價錢相宜。
經過一個月來共1,500km嘅駕駛, 始終未能習慣Durashift EST波箱嘅特性，頭痛問題如下:
1. Auto Mode狀態下, 1波轉2波或者2波轉3波都顯得突兀，轉數好似keep唔到咁
2. 塞車時，清楚感到離合器開開合合, 好唔自然 (唔知會唔會影響耐用性?)
3. Auto Mode狀態下, Kick-down反應甚慢, 上斜時尤甚 (2波唔夠力, 入1波又太”chok”)
4. 正常行車時轉數經常偏低, 好似好難”踩”番起部車
5. 早上撻車時，波箱寧舍唔順，要等5-10分鐘warm-up先正常番
上述情況唔知Simon兄有無遇到, 定係我自己個波箱有問題?
頒請指點迷津!
P.S. 我上個月先番荃灣森那美換波箱油同Re-programming, 佢地話我波箱正常
小鄧
Hello Evan,
等我試下答你
1.
Auto Mode狀態下,
1波轉2波或者2波轉3波都顯得突兀，轉數好似keep唔到咁
係，Auto
Mode好"速"，你要在差唔多轉波時收油
2.
塞車時，清楚感到離合器開開合合,
好唔自然
(唔知會唔會影響耐用性?)
最近program過好咗好多喎
3.
Auto Mode狀態下,
Kick-down反應甚慢,
上斜時尤甚
(2波唔夠力,
入1波又太”chok”)
auto mode
只啱要揸電話又要揸車時用
4.
正常行車時轉數經常偏低,
好似好難”踩”番起部車
無乜力麻! 要拖低一兩個波先得
5.
早上撻車時，波箱寧舍唔順，要等5-10分鐘warm-up先正常番
我又唔覺喎, 車 - 要一撻即着,
一行即快
希望對你有用啦
cheers

Hi,
我本係新牌仔, 由於其中一個朋友有架16v Turbo令到我開始留意fiat.
當search二手車網o既時候, 發現96年款PUNTO CABRIOLET好正, 想問下:
~ 有無此款車更詳細資料.
~ 可在那裡可找到此款二手車.
~ 保養是否困難.
~ 三保是否便宜(26age / 1年牌)
新牌仔
非常多謝你留意我們呢
你的朋友是擁有那一架Coupe呢, 講車牌我地都可以估到係咩色掛
Punto Cabrio是很好的小車 , 沒什麼大問題, 唔好亂咁整架車就會好好
28car.com偶然有一架半架punto賣, 也不過萬多元 ok架
Cheers
Simon

Simon 你好,
有幸有次聽森美小儀駕勢堂認識到你個快意俱樂部, 令我嘅生活係呢幾個月揾到好大 嘅樂趣 .
先係你個主頁click click下,發現 到你真係好愛你架Fiat Coupe, 對發揚快意不遺餘力 ,真係慢慢受到你份熱誠感動 .
之後 ,又走去個 Forum到行下 , 原來仲有班 "熱血戰士 ". 任何問題 , 總有一班人回應呀 , 解答下 . 好鬼感動 ! 尤其至喜歡技術支援 ! 因為有時去其他車會啲 Wed Site / Forum, 入會收錢 啲資料仲詳細過乜 , 啲 會員係個Forum 到吹多少少水都會俾板主Warning. 好慘! 但係你會同人一齊呃Post, 好好笑!
平時係街到, 見到自己 架Dream Car, 都會望多兩眼 . 但依家都開始係街到望下見唔見到 Fiat車 , 見到 , 真係有衝動去買張六合彩 . a… 終於有日俾我 見到, 係葵涌大連排道48-56東海大廈入口 , 對正更亭 , 有架紅紅地橙橙地嘅 Fiat Punto HD6175俾塊布包住. 都有好幾個星期 . 唔知係咪車會會員嘅車 . 依家每朝返工都會去望下佢, 睇下佢.
Merry Christmas! To all Fiat Lovers

Cheers
Fanny
Cheers
Simon on behalf of Fiat Club members
Your website is brilliant! There is so much useful info. contained in the
section 'your letters'.
Its so ironic to discover your website only when I've finally decided to
sell my Fiat Punto Cabriolet after owning it for 7 years !! (a very lonely 7
years without a Fiat agent in HK)
It has been a nighmare for me (especially someone who knows nothing on cars) to maintain, especially with my 'not-so-fiat-experienced' mechanic. I ended up replacing almost every spare part (ordered direct from UK) you can think of ... including the rear screen (HKD 5,000K) and 3-4 god-knows-what pumps which each costed between GPB 80 - 200 ... to keep it well maintained.
I absolutely adore my car so much that I only just realized its been 12
months since I've bought my new car, with my Fiat tucked away in a carpark,absorbing expenses on rental, insurance, vehcle reg. ........ Now I've finally decided to let it find a better owner.
Do you know anyone in the club who is interested in buying a Yellow Punto Cabriolet ? 97/98(Manual) ?
Best Regards
Mimi

Hi Simon,
I am Heiden Chan or you can call me “ 熊仔” . I am a friend of Ar Kei, he told me many things about you he made me want to meet you. In fact, I want to visit you for a long time, but I am always busy before. So I think the best method is to write an email to you. I always read your articles, so I know you are a funny guy. Also, I have many questions about cars want to ask you. If you and your friend don’t mind to meet one more person in your every meeting, then please let me know when and where does the regular meeting take place. I promise I must go with you and all of your friend in weekend day~ Please keep close contact, OK?
Cheers,

hi simon,
how r u? it's nice to see u making
this web, & i can get so many hints from u, thx!!
by the way, i would like to buy that
RENOVO conditioner for my MX5, is that available in HK, or i need to order
from UK? pls advise me. thx a lot!
also, i'm one of the committees of MX5
club, will u be interested in joining us for function somehow? i really
would like to know more friends!
cheers,
paul
Hi paul,
i am glad that you like the webpage.
Especially that MX-5 section. As it offers another motorlifestyle, very
unique.
I must say that renovo is a VERY good
cleaner for MX-5's canvas top. It restores its darkness, last up to a few
weeks.
I think you have to order it from UK.
The complete set for canvas top is about HKD300. But it is really good and
can last up to 10 cleans.
if you have friends in UK, it can be
bought from some common stores like Halford.
Come out for a chat.
Cheers
Simon
Dear Simon ,
I am Peter .my mobile is 61390344 I
called u in last saturday.remember?
Thanks for your help to answer me some
questions.
And I give 2 photo for this car's top
have some problem for rear side.
Pls give me some comment for it ,thx!!
These are quite common problem on
convertible top.
After some years of using, it will
start to harden. When the top is folded, it will tear open abit. Then most
owners will put some glue to it. But it won't last, when the top is folded
again, the crack reappears.
No chance to cure the problem, you have
to live with it.
Cheers
Simon
i completely looked thru and finished ur web site, nice job mate. In fact i came back from uk 2 yrs ago, have seen loads of coupe there but didn't have much feeling at that moment until this yr, my mind has been change due to unknown reason(even stronger after i've seen ur site), i fell in love with her. there's 2 coupes on the market and i like the one from bobby's 16vt (actually I'm looking for 20vt), think u must know a lot abt his car, any comment to me?how's the condition? he offer 43000 but that must be some room to go further down ain't it? also, my baby just arrived and i'd like to know the rear seat room if there's enough to fit 3 adults or a baby seat. I got 7yrs licence,25yrs old but 0% ncb, and idea of the insurance? are there any 20vt for sell at this moment? really look forward to your reply~ thanks mate!
best regards,
Tom
ahhaa.... it's so great to hear that
you are adventurous to look for a Coupe. Honestly, Fiat in Hong Kong has
maintenance problems, but its beauty and fun is to keep it going. Just
like keeping a horse, difficult but rewarding. You know what i mean.
Fiat is a small family here, we almost
know each other, take your time, come out in our gatherings, test drive a
few cars before making any selection. We can share more with you than just
exchaning plain e-mails.
Tom, we sincerely invite you to join
our coming morning breakfast gathering on 3/4 0800 Shatin. call me if you
arrive there 92754626.

太吸引喇~~~咁我就慢慢睇, 係閣下的網頁入面,
我學到好多好多未聽過的知識, 最後決定要寫個E-mail給你,
講聲謝謝~~~~
BY Ka-lun
原來已經很久無人寫E-mail比我。多謝你支持。原來有仲新人登入，仍然令我開心。
小金車真係幾方便。真正一撻即?，一行即快。
但如果你唸住豪一次，就要唸清楚。MX-5的原裝車已經是很好的了，再放錢改裝亦變不了多少。$? 慎用。記得換呔就好

coz , i m busy with my job, well i just want to let u
know that i will give my car to my friend for
£6500 (uk) , soo sad, that i have to let my baby
go, is all becouse of my new job and i wont be able to
afford the car any more.....soo sad, i LOVE that
motor!!! oh well i have owen a FIAT COUPE 20V TURBO
LE! good bye my friends!
jack
Leaving your LE? That doesn't sound too good.
LE goodbye, but friends remain. There's a difference.
GBP6500? It's a damn good price, That's enough to make the first deposit of
your next car. : D
My friend, i have to reassure your decision to part with your LE.
First, Fiat Coupe can be rated as the best FWD. LE is with uprated
suspension, 20v turbo final series are real smooth and powerful. That
combination makes Coupe LE 20v turbo the most balanced car in handling.
Since you have already experienced this very good car, the feeling is
already in your blood. Parting with it may not be a bad decision.
Now, it's time to save some up for the next stage to further your vision and
experience on this automotive world. Don't bother to fancy another FWD, it
will never be as good as Coupe. FWD, you have tasted the best.
I do recommend you to seek a Boxster. Yes, I am not kidding, it is
expensive. But it worths the waiting or planning. Wait for it to depreciate
or plan for some budgetting. Boxster is the next stage.
Well... don't think about it too much, you have the money and the new blood.
Cheers
Simon
hello!
it's nice too see my loved car also in
hong kong.
i'm from austria (europe) and had a fiat
coupe 16v with 190 ps till the day of the 7th of march 2003.

traffic-accident, where i was wounded havily.
i can only move my head an most of the
time i'm sitting at my computer.
would be nice to hear from you.
cu - bye, martin
Hi,
我係新牌, 雖然唔係渣FIAT, 甚至唔係渣跑車, 但係你個網度真係學左好多野.
我見你個網話Continental呔幾好. 想問下呢隻呔適唔適合房車用? 我係唔會鍊車個種. 同埋隻呔嘈唔嘈,
襟唔襟用架? 因為佢好似平Michelin一大截. 又好似唔係間間有賣呢隻呔, 咁邊度買好呢?
我架係舊版Audi A4.
Thanks! Wish 生意興隆.
Steve
史提芬兄,
多謝你欣賞，學到嘢咪好囉。
到而家為止，我收集到的意見和觀察到的呔表現，發現似乎呔並不是因車而選擇，而是因為路面和駕駛要求而決定。
無計傾... 石橋的膠好啱香港用。很快進入工作溫度，給予應有表現。
要好咬的乾濕兩用街呔RE-01,
Bridgestone代理同成的網頁解釋RE-01, S-03, G3, ER80..
的分別解釋得幾好
Continental真係未用過，Michelin廣告講到好勁好想試
史提芬兄, 用石橋G3吧，價錢合理地安全是很重要。
Cheers

Hi, My name is Ellis Tai. One day when I was browsing through the Coupe Car Park, I found my ex-car previously.
The owner is “未知“…just find it interesting seeing my ex-car there....
I bought the car brand new in 1997 (it was in yellow color when brand new), did the color change in 1999 (if I remember correctly) and sold it to a foreigner in year 2000.
The car has equipped with the body kit as you see in the picture, and Koni springs and suspension.
Do you know who is the current owner of the car?
Where did you guys get the picture from (guess from the 2nd hand car website, right?)?
Anyway, the website was good designed and maintained. Well done guys!
Cheers,
Ellis
Hi John and Ellis
I hope you two wouldn't mind me linking you
two together.
John, I think you are the one who gets
Ellis' car. And Ellis, your blue baby is still being nicely kept in Mr.
Donker's hands.
What a nice little world, you two find each
other.
By the way, John, you are going to sell your
babe, and Ellis, any chance joining our Fiat club in your blue shooter
again?
Happy motoring.
Cheers

Hi Simon:
今日終於整好水溫問題, 完來呢架車本身溫度高, 所以換哂所有野都無用, 所以決定唔用水膽,
點知.............得左.............. 無哂問題, 仲有呀! 原來MX5 水膽成 88度先開,
所以架車無可能低過88度
真係有D問題, 見Website 上你話你架5仔都有水滾茶靚既問題, 可能都係先兆!!! 現附上MX5 零件圖,
希望岩用!!!
jockey
Jockey,
不要拆去那水膽, 那只是會sensor顯示温度低, 並不有實際減温之用
所有車的引擎理想工作温度是90度, 並沒問題，肯定全部水路零件運作正常才是正確方法
多謝你的圖呀
Cheers
Simon
My name is TS and I am driving a Peugeot 206. This is my 3rd car and the previous 2 were Japanese made. Learning from the forum at Peugeot club, I read through over 60% of your website. I have not much to say but Salute!
We are the kind of similar people who like and love cars, not only drive them. I would like to leave this message on the web but cannot(so stupid) find a place to do it so I write this to your email.
I learn a lot, not only technically, but also attitude wise.
Thanks.
TS
thank you very much for your compliment. Thank you.
It's very lovely to hear message from you, I'd like to make my forum more
interactive so that readers can exchanges opinions and ideas, experiences...
but I realized that technically in computer language I am not good enough to
do so. Well.. receiving e-mail from readers are still really encouraging to
me.
Have a nice motoring.

首先，就是你們對愛車的熱情，意大利車和法國車嘛....那款比較多毛病呢？可能都差不遠。但是你們對愛駒真有「不離不棄」的精神，或者是Fiat coupe真的是太美了，而且在香港怎樣說也是比較少見，所以大都願意花時間和心血去維修。我真的希望我們的會員也能像你們般有毅力去「保住」自己的車。
第二就是你的維修全紀錄。看完之後，真的有種五體投地的感覺。只可以meticulous來形容。閣下對愛駒的了解和對汽車維修的常識，都十分值得我們借鑑。更重要就是有種大部份香港車主都缺乏的認真的態度。
第三，就是閣下建立網站的心思和心血。我們的網站一直都維持在under construction的狀態，而且內容(質和量)和你們的網站都有一段距離。希望我比閣下的網站介紹給會員後，能刺激刺激他們，好讓我們的網站也能和你們的看齊。
歡迎你也來我們的網站及討論區一訪，給我們一點意見，萬分多謝！

Hello Dave,
我表代表快意俱樂部向你們請安。 : )
可憾我的火紅205GTi死得早，否則仍然可以....算吧算吧, 我都無謂唸住佢啦...
> " 意大利車和法國車嘛....那款比較多毛病呢？" 我覺得差不多啦。
多謝你讚賞我們的Coupe呢。其實唔止靚架，幾好揸又有力。我很小心打理他因為覺得他有保留價值，令他重拾昔日光輝。咁我就好似只係用幾萬銀就揸到當年三十幾萬蚊的跑車。好化算！
建立網頁要慢慢來吧。這網頁已有年半了，每天寫少少，加埋成550日，就算每日寫一個鐘，都有550小時，以返工一至五朝九晚五來計即係68個工作天，亦即係三個月！試想，三個月喎，返工咁返法，可以話我除正職外，有多三個月寫網頁。幾好玩，只可惜自已懶，沒有用心重整內容。
努力呀Dave, 車會幾好玩架
Cheers
Simon
Hi :
你好, 睇完你地個web , 非常正, 本人不是駕駛快意的, 因很怕意國車, 毛病多,
現座駕為一架九六MX5, 希望能與你地成為朋友, 交流一番
令非常欣賞你對車輛的維修方法及態度, 能令一架多毛病的車也保養得好, thanks!!

Hi Simon:
真係開心, 希望快D 出黎玩下!!!
Jockey
hello Jockey,
多謝你欣賞呢。
啱啦啱啦一齊玩啦，MX5都可以一齊架。
我地個MX-15會終於有機會擴充至MX-20會，細威同Kevin知道一定很高興。我地部好耐無三騎出動啦，睇嚟有Jockey你加入，我地又有籍口外出。
其實意大利車不是多毛病的，只是不易整，和手法不當，而令感冒菌上腦，引發併發症而猝死。其實快意幾好呀。
請多留意網頁的聚會，你一起出來便可以了。
Cheers

Hi,
I visit your web regularly and the content is
very impressive~
Just know that you've got the MX-5 repainted,
it's very nice~
Would like to where is the workshop and cost,
if you feel comfortable to let me know :)
Coz I got a dent on the fender and want to fix
it.
Appreciated much for your reply~
Cheers
Hello,
Thank you for your compliment.
The MX-5 has been restored into a very nice
condition, it's like a new car to me.
The workshop is Mazda dealer workshop in Sun
Ying Industrial Centre, 9 Tin Wan Close, Aberdeen. They are the dealer,
so, they have been dealing with repairing MX-5 since MX-5 launch 13 years
ago. So, i feel comfortable to let them take care of it. I was their staff
before, so they gave me pretty good discount.
Just drive up there and let them have a
look. They will quote you price for all the defects as well.
Happy motoring.
Cheers
Simon
For your information my Punto has been sold in 18K to Joe who is member
of you Fiat Club and is the first one to contact me while Patrick is the
second. There are totally five enquiries for my car and what I can do is to
take a first come first serve basis and I am so sorry to make other four
guys including Patrick so disappointed.
Here I have to thank for your help once again. If one day I have to stay
back in HK I will buy a Fiat car again and by then I will need your help
once more. Hoping have chance to really meet you and learn something from
you in the coming future.
cheers and happy motoring
James Wong
Hello James,
that's really nice to hear that your Punto
found a new home.
In fact, I am delighted because our website
has served its purpose pretty good. You've moved your punto in just 5
days. It's a record.
But Joe?!!.. I am surprised. Not remembered
he ever asked for a Punto. Nevertheless, he has a valuable one now.
James, I don't have much to learn from, I
feel flattered. But thanks for the compliment.
Yes, when you return here, I am sure you
will find Fiat better supported.
Take care mate.
Cheers
Simon
我有D野想請教~~~
我要做個報告想你可以幫助下我~感謝~~~
1)以車的外形設計方面, 波子, 法拉利等名車的外形和一般房車比較, 哪一種耗油量會較少? 為什麼?
2)加尾翼可不可減少耗油量? 為什麼?
-----------------
唔~好多謝你~感謝~本書我會買來看看~
Samuel不用感謝我，研究吓啦
1.跑車殼外形當然令耗油減低! 因為Total Resistance = Cd x A ,
Total Resistance即是總風阻, Cd即是阻力系數, A即是車正面面積。
阻力系數和傳統人們對流線型的理解差不多，例如福士舊甲蟲Cd=0.48-0.49、波子911Cd=0.38-0.39。要流線型，就車頭唔好頓，車尾唔好斬尾Civic咁，頭玻璃唔好咁企，門、沙板夾口位要窄和整齊
車正面面積，福士舊甲蟲A=1.8、波子911 A=1.78
結果總風阻, 福士舊甲蟲有0.86-0.88而波子911 有0.68-0.69
(總風阻+呔的滾動阻力) x 車速 = 所損耗馬力, 所以車的馬力越大車速可以越高
2.尾翼作用是在加強下壓力和擾流之間的平衡。如尾翼過大令正面面積大了，便會令耗油量上升，因加大了A的數值嘛。又或角度太大，會令Cd增加，又係會令耗油量上升。而且，所有下壓力都是在140km/hr以上才會產生有用的下壓力。所以尾翼不是隨便加便有用。
希望這資料有用
要詳細報告，可看看這書Race Car Aerodynamics

Hi 版主,
Thought you might like to know that there is a
white Lancia Integrale that travels from 石崗 to 八鄉 area in the
mornings. Have seen him a couple of times already and I think
it belongs someone from the one of the scrapyards around there. Saw him
just this morning 8:45ish outside of 八鄉警署. Good luck if you do decide to
track him down. (If you don't already knew him!)
Btw, great site that you are running here.
Best regards.
tt
Hello TT,
thank you very much for this information. I will try to
track him down!!! ; >
Also thanks to your comment. I will try to make it
better.
Cheers
Simon
