I live in Australia, used to only own BMWs and Benz and been only buying Japanese cars since the early 2000s. EG3 single carb 1.3 hatch, EG4 dual carb 1.5 hatch, EG5 1.6 twincam non-tec hatch, EH9 sedan ( ie EG 1.6L small tec ), EG8 sedan ( 1.5L efi non-tec auto ) EK1 sedan ( 1.6L non-tec ), EM1 coupe ( ie US made EK Si coupe B16a ), DA9 teg coupe 1.8L twin cam non tec, DC2 teg coupe B18C2 x3 over the years, DC2R coupe Aust spec round lights, DC5R Aust spec, AP1 S2000, ED9 CRX B16A, CK accord ( ie CG 4 door F23 auto ), Subaru Liberty 2nd gen 2.5 RX 4wd luxury ( ie 2nd gen legacy auto EJ25 ). Many of the abovementioned cars have since been sold and currently have 7 Hondas. Yet to buy a Toyota, came close a few times and very much looking forward to Toyota ownership most likely a GT86 or GR86 and/or a RAV4 hybrid as a daily.

Thanks for another great story of Lung Sir's well preserved high km daily along with the amazing story of Ho Sir's start at Crown Mtrs from day 1. What separates your channel from other HK channels is that you guys never rely on gimmicks or hyper expensive/rare cars to amuse your audience. For someone over 50 y.o like myself, it's the history of car related matters from era's gone by that is endearing to us. As a young boy growing up in the early 70s I have seen most of the old cars mentioned by Ho Sir ie the old Cedric/Gloria taxis that were common back in the mid 70s before the white shark shaped Cedric that arrived around 1977, the old diesel Benz taxis, the Morris 1100, the 70s Lite Ace Vans etc. I have great memories of the Crown Motors building in North Point, a relative of my family was one of the Service Manager there at the time and he gave me a tour of the Servicing departments on different floors back in 1989/1990. He also arranged a test drive of the then newly released Lexus LS400, they kept a small numbers of LS400 there at the time. I was only 18 or 19 at the time and a couple of his admin staffs came along with me and I drove the car from North Point to Shek O and back. Took it real gentle on the way to Shek O to experience the great ride and ultra low NVH and I asked the staff members if I could push the car hard on the way back and they said yes so I drove it hard and they never thought a big and heavy car could go so fast on the windy roads and never been that scared in their lives :-). The LS400 was much quieter, with more response from the engine, gearbox and brakes compared to the W126 500 sel my dad had at the time where I used to drive back in the day. It was the car that really shocked the Euro prestige car makers with its refinement, quality, performance, price, reliability and customer service. The same relative also organised a test drive of the SW20 MR2 for me the week after where I met the sales rep at their Wanchai showroom and went for a drive from Wanchai to Stubbs road, Tai Hang road, East Corridor and back to base. 1989 onwards till the mid 90s was such a golden era for Japanese manufacturers and Toyota released many awesome products during this period and more significantly they are still going very strong on the road now 30 years on be it the LS400 with the 1UZ-FE or the SW20 with the 3S-GE or a Landcruiser with the 1HZ diesel. Provided they are regularly maintained at the right intervals and not abused in terms of usage they just keep going and going and when rubber seals harden and leak after 20-30 years which they eventually will, replacing with genuine seals and factory spec sealants it will be good for another 20-30 years; good luck with that with modern VAG cars and other Euro brands. May be Lung Sir and the TG HK team can feature a Crown, LS400 or Camry with high kms with feedback from the owners in the near future ? Thanks in advance and keep up with the great work.

非常同意龍 sir 所講 , 本人乜是用 Previa , 21年車行咗接近 220000 km 只换過ㄧ次頭碟 , ㄧ次 alternator 及ㄧ次底𧄌膠 , 操控易 、缺點只是起步慢、呔不及歐洲車多。
I have a Kia Sedona (3800cc 4-cam 24 valve VVT) from 2007 with about 190,000km. No engine and transmission issue. Still on Original spark plugs. It is thirsty but it has POWER!!! Very smooth from idle to Redline and I use Pennzoil Synthetic Oil. No Cam belt change required since it runs on Timing Chain. I love the huge interior. This is a full size Minivan with walk through from 1st to 3rd row

@@tommygravel5653 Nothing that we can do about it. The passenger side quarter panel (next to the door) had been repair 3 times due to rust with bondo and fiber glass. Rust just keep coming back. Then last summer, the passenger side upper wheel well area started to have rust too. I repaired that area and repainted it. Hope it will last a bit longer. Bottom of tailgate also had rust and was repaired about a year ago. Rust shows up everywhere after 26 years. Not to mention the rust under the car .....
RS200 is Altezza 3SGE BEAMS right? Fren of mine here in Australia swapped the Altezza beams engine, gearbox and differential into his 1969 BMW 2002 race car some 10 years back from a donor car that has done around 120,000km. After 6,7 seasons of track events he decided to strip engine down for a rebuild. Took the engine parts to an engineering/engine shop for measurement and everything was still within spec with no visible wear on the bearing surfaces, the bores were still in very good shape with no ridges and honing marks from factory still clearly visible and the valve guides were still in good shape. So all he had to do was to reassemble with a new VRS kit, new std sized bearings and new std sized piston rings set and be rest assured the engine will run for another 6 to 7 season again. Talk about road car reliability and durability in racing situations. Footage from his incar at a recent event below, where he was the fastest car of the day beating a highly modified slant nose G series Porsche 911 with downforce. I'm lucky enough to drive his car now and then at certain events. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKW4o2ikjKxjnK8 Altezza package worked perfectly in his application, esp when car is almost 500kg lighter than a stock Altezza sedan. The long engine and exhaust manifold is factory stock spec, still running VVTi and tuned with Power FC ECU and the owner fabricated ITBs himself ( ie 4 throttle in HK speak ).
I am currently living in New Zealand and I can say its the best place if you're a car lover. I currently Own an Accord CL1 Euro R. Previously I owned a Honda Prelude BB1, Toyota Corona, Nissan Laurel C35 (Which you don't officially get in Hong Kong), Nissan Terrano D21, a Mazda 323 BG and BJ series. They are cheap cars but however lots of fun and most importantly, cheap to own!
Hi, currently, I have two Toyota Previa. The 1992 has 358,000kms and the 2002 has a 330,000kms on its clock. It is a great car. Thank you. I had given up another 1992 two years ago, it had 585,000 kms on its clock.
1997 Prado. Bought in Tokyo, used largely in England - in all weathers. Very few replacement parts. Still looks and runs like new, despite high mileage. Careful driving and regular oil changes are the key, I would say.
