    You go for a romantic meal with your other half... You share a single main meal (in the middle of the table) whilst playing with your latest (must have) smartphone and manage to finish the entire thing without looking up or talking to each other once.

    When stuck in minor traffic jam, depress horn. Continue to depress horn for 5 minutes, car in front ignores this so as not to loose face and depresses horn for same amount of time.

    90% of your cars value is in the accessories..... think souped up Honda Civic with a spoiler, gaudy paint job and flashy rims...

    Or 90% of your value is in your car with all the crappy accessories including daft personalised number plate of course.

    I saw a Discovery 3 this morning with a snorkel attached, a SNORKEL in HK, FFS.

    Also, alloys on a Hiace van, enough said.

    Where I live in the NT, I routinely see the LandRover group parade (a group of about 10 landrover owners with crazy, souped up landrovers)

    They have jerry cans, skid plates, snorkels, roof racks, tow accessories and winches, nudge bars and light bars...

    They look like they are heading out for an African Safari....but in reality they are only heading down the road for to a dai pai dong to show off their rides..

    You want to get into cycling<insert alternate hobby here>, so you buy every single piece of equipment, accessories, stickers and clothing possible. EVERYTHING.

    Sorry I can't agree with this. HK people teeth are MUCH worse than Brits. I never saw so many toothless or awful teeth in YOUNG PEOPLE here as I did in the uK.
