I was late, so most of the cars had already left, but I promise you there were more. But still.
One of my classmates gets picked up in a Quattroporte - sadly she knows nothing about it.
S-Class says peekaboo. A few other S-Classes and a BMW 750Li already went tubby bye bye. Along with my friend's Quattroporte.
It's almost comical. Nearly every kid piles into one of these minivans and takes off. These six seater, captain chaired, air-conditioned, DVD player lined and chauffeured minivans. What's missing is the bodyguards...

Where are you? The surrounding area looks beautiful.

Hong Kong - just above Aberdeen in a valley. It's a tiny bit of an illusion; the rest of the city is just on the other side of that mountain (more like a hill, it's not very tall, just steep). Aberdeen itself is just a 2 minute drive down the hill. The school itself is in the top right of the 3rd pic.

Is that near The Peak?

Chauffeur driven minivans make a lot of sense, really. They're becoming increasingly common choices for people with money who don't want to flash it about too much.

I wouldn't call these Minivans moreso than rebadged and re-engineered Camries and Altimas.
That said, I wouldn't mind a Dodge Sprinter.

Well, yes. Ish. It's in the middle of Hong Kong island, which is pretty small, so the Peak on the western side of the island is only a 15 minute drive away.
