In this riveting episode of Hagerty, we delve into the tumultuous world of car culture in Hong Kong, where enthusiasts navigate the treacherous waters of strict laws that empower authorities to seize vehicles at a moment's notice. Despite these daunting challenges, the car clubs in Hong Kong stand tall, with the yellow car club taking center stage by showcasing a fleet of exclusively yellow Hondas. The team embarks on a thrilling adventure, borrowing a Honda Beat to join a meet featuring an array of iconic Honda models, from NSX to Moto Compo, against the backdrop of vanishing neon street signs that define the city's unique charm.
Enter Rocky, a legal eagle by day and a car aficionado by night, who orchestrates epic meets for prestigious clubs like GTR, BMW, JDM High-Risk, and NSX, culminating in a spectacular photoshoot with a dozen NSXs at a posh hotel. Despite facing obstacles, including a close encounter with the authorities, the team manages to capture the essence of the moment amidst the hustle and bustle of the vibrant city. Rocky's influence extends far and wide within the GTR community, as he successfully corrals an impressive 80% of all GTRs for a meet, showcasing the unwavering passion of Hong Kong's car enthusiasts in the face of stringent regulations.
As the team encounters a fleet of Liberty Walk cars, they marvel at the exceptional quality of the builds in a landscape where modifications are deemed illegal. Despite the looming threat of police intervention, the car meets remain a harmonious and well-organized affair, underscoring the camaraderie and dedication of the local car community. Through their lens, the team captures the resilience and fervor of car enthusiasts in Hong Kong, who persevere in celebrating their shared love for automobiles amidst a backdrop of uncertainty and legal constraints. Stay tuned as Hagerty uncovers more about the fascinating car culture in Hong Kong in the upcoming episodes.
