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
