KEEPING UP WITH THE CHANS

A late entrant in the game!

House 9 have made a sudden play to join the list!

Previously they were out of the running with merely a 4yr old Porsche 911 and a couple of year old S Class Merc, but on Saturday they upped the stakes.

A metallic light blue Ferrari 612 Scaglietti appeared in their parking space, squeezed in between the Porker and the Merc.

At a conservative estimate that is HK$3million worth of car.

Unfortunately the 612 is the ugliest Ferrari for years. It looks all bug–eyed and the radiator grille looks like a stupid grinning mouth. I'm sure the perfomance, technology etc etc are amazing, but is is attempting to replace the stunningly beautiful and understated Ferrari 456. Just goes to show that money and taste don't necessarily go together, though on the plus side at least the new car isn't yellow!
