Chapter 372 Destined
Liu Guoqiang did not rush to interrupt the conversation of his fellow riders, but instead took a special look at the long line of vehicles.

The entry threshold to the car club he joined was not high, but it had a large number of participants.

Naturally, different riders will have different preferences and aesthetics for cars.

Some like coupes, some like pure sports cars, some like off-road vehicles, some like Formula One cars, some like antique cars, and some female car fans also like small and cute styles.

Anyway, Liu Guoxiong was dazzled by the sight of all kinds of cars, from all styles and eras!
For example, civilian sports cars include Dodge Omni 024, Ford Mustang II king kobra, Camaro second generation, Pontiac Firebird second generation, and Jaguar XJ-S.

Luxury sports cars include Ferrari 308, Ferrari Mondial 8, Lamborghini countach LP400S, Lamborghini Jalpa, Maserati Merak 2000 GT, Porsche 935, Porsche 928S, Porsche 944, Lotus Turbo Esprit S3, Aston Martin V8 Coupe Oscar India.

轿跑有宝马E26、BYD EVO、克莱斯勒ETV-1、马自达Savanna一代、马自达Cosmo三代、阿尔派A110、罗孚SD1 3500SE等。

Off-road vehicles include Land Rover Series 3, Mercedes-Benz G, Jeep CJ-8, etc.

Formula One sports car includes the Alfa Romeo 179.

The mini car has the Mini Mark IV series.

The most numerous of them were the Ferrari 308. Liu Guoxiong saw six or seven models of this series alone in the fleet, which really caught people's attention.

Of course, in addition to the cars mentioned above which are not cheap, there are also affordable cars such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Ford, Volkswagen, Peugeot, etc. that you can tell at a glance that they are modified.

Frankly speaking, the size of Hong Kong’s automobile market is too small to form a rich and large-scale automobile modification ecosystem.

If you modify a car at this time, the modification fee + accessories fee will be enough to buy one or two more cars of the same model.

Therefore, even if it is a modified affordable car, the owner needs to have a certain financial strength.

Again, in the 80s in Hong Kong, people who played with and modified cars were either second-generation rich or powerful, or middle-class Hong Kong people.

If Liu Guoxiong did not have the savings from the car collection shop, relying on his previous involvement in gangs, he might not be able to afford EVO even when he reaches middle age.

After all, in his opinion, being able to buy an EVO does not necessarily mean being able to play with it.

He had been repairing cars for several years and has been collecting cars in recent years, so he has seen many car models.

Even so, the variety of car models on display at this car club also impressed him.

Although he really wanted to get closer to those rare car models to study them, Liu Guoxiong ultimately resisted the urge as business was more important.

Although I have joined this car club, regular gatherings are not mandatory. You can come when you have time and are interested. It is entirely voluntary.

He came here tonight, not only because of the invitation from the president, but also because he wanted to study the effects of the many modified cars in the car club.

That’s right, ever since winning the mountain road race on October 10, Liu Guoxiong had the idea of ​​opening another modification shop.

He thought clearly that even if other brands of cars did not patronize his business, he could still earn enough money to maintain the store simply by modifying EVO.

Liu Guoxiong increasingly felt that, compared to collecting cars, he was increasingly interested in modifying them, which was second only to his biggest hobby - racing.

Having been in a social club before, he is quite talkative and cool. He would actively look for owners of modified cars in the crowd to chat with, especially those with modified cars. From these people he could get a general idea of ​​their modification requirements, budget and other details.

As for awesome people, especially the "Hong Kong Driving God" who just won the championship, car enthusiasts are still very interested in communicating with him.

Although car lovers may not necessarily like racing, everyone still pursues improving driving skills.

Therefore, even though Liu Guoxiong arrived late, a large group of people immediately gathered around him, making him the "most handsome" guy tonight. After chatting with everyone for ten minutes, Liu Guoxiong sent away the crowd surrounding him and was about to talk to some car owners about buying the cars, but he didn't expect to be pestered by another person.

The man was less than 1.7 meters tall, but had a big head, sharp eyes, and a gold Rolex on his right wrist. It was obvious that he was quite wealthy.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Ziqiang. You can call me Ah Qiang. Do you mind if I call you Ah Xiong?"

Liu Guoxiong casually looked at the other person and knew that he might be a wealthy man, so he replied in a rather enthusiastic manner:
"No problem, Brother Qiang!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ziqiang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and stretched out his hand, saying:

"Just because you took the initiative to call me brother, I'm determined to be your friend."

Liu Guoxiong felt that he was quite eloquent, but compared with this person who was very outgoing, he was still a level lower.

Moreover, as someone who was involved in gangs, he could see at a glance that this Qiang Ge had a kind of "bandit spirit" that ordinary people dared not underestimate.

He didn't know if the other person was also a member of the club, but as he always liked making friends, he happily extended his hand in return.

"Haha, Brother Qiang knows me?"

Zhang Ziqiang nodded with a smile and said:
"I wanted to participate in the mountain road race a few days ago, but I didn't make it in time to sign up. However, I watched it on site. Your demeanor that day, Xiong, was known throughout Hong Kong."

Even though Liu Guoxiong was only 22 years old and sophisticated, he still looked happy when he heard others praising him.

"Hey, Brother Qiang, thank you for the compliment. By the way, when did you join the car club?"

"Not long ago. I just joined last year. I've participated in a few activities. I haven't seen you before?"

Liu Guoxiong scratched his head, nodded and said:

"I also joined last year, but I was busy all year and didn't have time to attend the party."

Zhang Ziqiang gave him a puzzled look, and Liu Guoxiong continued to explain:

"I was busy collecting and repairing cars for most of last year. After October, I applied for a job as a road test driver for BYD Company and stayed in the mainland for almost half a year."

Zhang Ziqiang suddenly realized and said with emotion:
"No wonder you won the EVO championship, it turns out you've been practicing for a long time."

"Yes, but the EVO is indeed very suitable for racing. I heard from BYD engineers that it will continue to be improved in the future. Maybe the second-generation EVO will participate in the WRC next year. Therefore, this car has been endowed with the genes of a sports car from the very beginning."

Zhang Ziqiang's eyes lit up, and he asked calmly:

"You mean this car is suitable for modification?"

"That's right, you might as well tell Brother Qiang that after I won the championship last time, BYD promised to help me upgrade the engine. According to them, the upgraded EVO has better acceleration performance."

"Haha, now that you mention it, I also want to get a few EVOs for my collection."

Liu Guoxiong nodded affirmatively:

"From my experience, any car that has been upgraded from generation to generation is suitable for collection. Moreover, the racing attributes of EVO determine that it can attract a group of high-end sports car players."
