With a couple of weeks of vacation time on my hands I decided to go abroad and get out of this bad weather.
I’m currently in Hong Kong and I have to say it is COLD! Well maybe not as cold as back home-I was expecting since I’m in Asia it would be a pleasant change from the winter temperatures I just left but no. It is currently about 5C here. And no I didn’t bring a jacket.

I arrived 2 days ago. The MTR (Subway) station is about a block or two from the hotel where I’m going to be staying in.

Parked on the driveway were 3 black Mercedes Benz’s- 2 S550’s and a S600.
All apparently well maintained and polished, the sunlight bouncing off the hoods.

While checking in I found out that the 3 cars were the hotel limousines. I also found out that the 2 550’s were 4matics.

The manager didn’t know how much they cost here but back home it has an MSRP of $92,350 and the S600 $147,450.

Asked how Mercedes Benz is doing here and the lady says that the Mercedes Benz is one of the more popular brands of cars here especially for limousines.

She offered to chauffer me for the day in one of the 550’s.

The roads here aren’t as wide as those stateside but surprisingly there wasn’t any traffic to speak of but I guess you really wouldn’t mind not since you’re in a cabin which is just simply luxurious.

The 5.5 382hp V8 engine of the 550 was just purring even when accelerating.

The ride as expected was extremely quiet and smooth. More to follow.
