NEVER STOP DRIVING…. Thanks for everyone’s support. It was my pleasure to organise these meets for Larry and we honestly had a lot of fun. 8 meets in 6 days…. Was v tiring, but well worth it ! I’ll never forget the GTR meet in particular. Was insane ! Eugene and I are glad that we got to show a part of Hong Kong’s car culture to the rest of the world. Despite the police pressure, I’ll never give up organising car meets in Hong Kong. Thank you for watching and have a great day ! Rocky Yung

I'm and old school hotrodder at heart , built several cars over the years. I used to get pissed off at the cops when they would hassle me or my guys for being too low or too loud . I feel for these young dudes , but having a car basically confiscated for no reason , is way too much for me . Nice pic's and an enjoyable ride.

What gets me so emotional seeing this is it's not just some expensive fast cars. Yes they're expensive but it's the fact that these are 90's cars that are still relevant to us car enthusiasts and how the 90's JDM culture is still so alive. Knowing that EVs will kill them one day is a sad fate but a happy feeling that the culture is still thriving.

Thank you for doing a piece of the car culture of Hong Kong, it is kinda an insight into what Hong Kong have turned into in the past few years. Government decisions with no reasoning or logic to it, limitless power to police enforcing the law to how they see fit, helplessness to most of its citizens from its government. Neon signs are disappearing at an alarming rate just like the freedom we had Hong Kong can now be summarised by my favourite line from this video; “in a police state like Hong Kong”

@papabear90 Месяц назад

The mass majority of people in hk don't want Street racers there. This has nothing to do with authoritarian and China or democracy or whatever you're trying to insinuate.

@TheMNGS Месяц назад

@@papabear90 Because customising a car’s appearance would automatically make them street racers? They are going for car meets extremely peacefully but still bothered by the police. The JDM in these videos are factory and original, but the owners are still scared of being in trouble with the police really says a lot about how limitless the police are in Hong Kong. The fact that police can tow your car without any solid base, any knowledge in cars or even slight proof that you have modified it in anyway doesn’t make Hong Kong a police state? You think towing someone’s car because the brakes have been modified or having a body kit in any other non communist police state country. You want to know more about HK? Any police officer can check your ID, bag and or even body search because they think you are suspicious. Does this remind you of anything I mentioned about towing a car without proof mentioned above?
