27 Nov 2007 再談Motor Museum in Hong Kong  趣味花邊

各位親愛的車友、友會,

各位應該可以留意到,本人在2007電單車展中繼續向政府要求在本港成立汽車博物館。我們現在在香港擁有大量古董車、電單車、單車、玩具、與及紀念品,可以用於籌備博物館。

構思中的博物館是一個非牟利的文化設施,其功用包括:

1.          旅遊景點 – 汽車博物館。
2.          成為城中電單車和汽車愛好者周末聚會的好地點。

試想想本周末可以看到HOG聚會,下個周末又可以看到法拉利的展覽,緊接著的是古董電單車展,等等。我們需要的只是一個合適的場地!

政府曾經指出粉嶺法院的舊址可供出租。各位可以參考附錄有關如何利用該場地作?博物館用途。

如果貴方也應為這是一個好提議,本人誠邀各位提出建議,讓政府得知這個計劃得到各界的支持:

l          貴會支持這個建議嗎?
l          貴會會員朋友將會使用這個設施嗎?

這個非牟利項目極需要政府支持現有構思。然後本人需要從各方面尋求資助(例如銀行、機構、等等…)。如果貴會慾知道跟多的詳情,我樂於為各位介紹。我們現在已經得到HKAA、HOG、古董電單車會、古董車會、MG會等等的支持。

我們極有意在香港為汽車及電單車愛好者提供適合周末聚會的場地。相似的構思可以參考洛杉磯的Rock Store和倫敦的Ace Cafe。我們更可以與每一個周末都舉辦電單車展覽和跟各電
單車/汽車好友會面!

如有任何意見,請利用電郵ian@netvigator.com跟霍思達先生聯絡。

香港汽車會、香港老爺車會及Classic Bike Club紛紛表態支持CAM,認同香港應該要有一個汽機車博物館的需要和好處。CAM在十一月十二日已再次向政府提交計劃書,現正被多個相關政府部門作出初步審查。趁這段時間我們不如一起看看,激發Ian在香港爭取興建博物館的源頭地方:英國的National Motor Museum和美國的Rock Store。C.A.M便是希望能結合兩者的特色,為香港汽機車人士及遊客,提供一個落腳會面的景點。


"National Motor Museum" Beaulieu, UK  http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/motormuseum/introduction.cfm
 


We need a venue in HK like the "Rock Store" in Los Angeles. Where Bikers and Car-guys can meet at weekends and admire each others "Toys!"         http://www.rock-store.com
 

 

26 Nov 2007 Motor Museum in Hong Kong  趣味花邊

Dear Bikers / Bike Clubs,

As you may have seen at the "Motorcycle Show 2007" I continue to ask Government if  CAM can establish a "Motor Museum" in Hong Kong. We have many classic cars, motorcycles, bicycles, toys, and memorabilia sitting around HK (see www.cam-hk.com) that could easily be used to create a Museum.

This idea is proposed to be a non-profit making Cultural Facility that will :

1. Be a Tourism attraction - a Motor Museum.

2. Be a focus in HK for "Motor-heads" (Bikers and Car Owners) to meet at weekends.

Imagine a HOG Show one weekend, Ferrari Exhibit the next, Classic Bike Show the following, etc, etc ... all we need is a venue!

Government have suggested that the old Courthouse in Fanling may be available to Rent. See my attached proposal to convert this building into a Museum.

 If you consider this a good idea for Hong Kong I would appreciate your comments to show Government that the idea has 'Community' support:
 - Does your Club think this is a good idea?
 - Would your Club Members use such a facility?

This is a non-profit making Museum so relies on Government to approve the idea, then I have to find $$$-funding from Sponsors (Banks, large-Companies, etc!). If your Club Committee would like me to present and explain the proposals I would be happy to do so. We already have support from HKAutomobile Association, HOG, Classic Bike Club, Classic Car Club, MG Club, etc, etc.
We want to create a venue in HK where all the Bikers and car enthusiasts can go at the weekend ... like the 'Rock Store' in LosAngeles or the 'Ace Cafe' in London. We can have a "Motorcycle Show" every weekend, and meet our Biker/Car-friends in Fanling!!!
