[Leica] Hong Kong Pink Rolls Royce

[H&ECummer]

HI Richard,
Hope I am here when you are. If it happens we will go photo safari-ing again.
About the pink Rolls Royce:
"The most notable Roller in the SAR is a hard-to-overlook hot pink number, with the license plate “DEBORAH.” The owner? That would be model agency owner Deborah Valdez-Hung, wife of tycoon Stephen Hung: the very man who put in an order with the UK luxury car company for 30 Rolls-Royce Phantom cars. Doesn’t sound like all that much? Well, it happens to be the largest single order in the company’s history. It’s more than double the previous largest-ever order, the Hong Kong Peninsula hotel’s fleet of 14 cars, ordered in 2006. The cars are bound for Macau, and Hung’s uber-luxury Louis XIII hotel and casino. The resort, slated to open in 2016, will be able to chauffeur its guests around in nouveau-riche extravagance.”
Cheers
Howard
