FADE IN
Act 1
EXT. ROADS OUT OF TOWN - 14:30
PETER is driving his numeric blue SMART Pulse.
PETER (V.O.): It's a sweet and swift car.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): When I had first sight of the numeric blue paint, I fell in love with it.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): In 2003, I ordered it without testing it.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): To get my wife's endorsement, I promised I wouldn't have more than six cars.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I haven't replaced any of them. My Nissan S13 is older than my elder son...
Act 2
FLASHBACK
INT. TRANSPORT DEPT OFFICE - 11:15 (EARLIER)
Car licence renewal counter. Getting a licence from a STAFF, Peter looks happy.
PETER (V.O.): I've stored my Eunos 30X in my NT home for many weeks.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Having renewed its licence, my elder daughter has more options to try.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): After getting her driving licence in Japan, she hasn't driven in Hong Kong yet.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): She's flying back to Hong Kong with her boyfriend tomorrow. I'm going to pick them up.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I thought she could drive the Pulse, but the two seater isn't Japanese design.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Driving the 4-seat Eunos 30X should be good. She just has to adapt to the V-6 engine.
Recalling.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): In the early 1990s when I saw a somebody driving a Eunos 30X near Lake Geneva, I thought I should own one.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): The silver coupe is older than my elder daughter.
RETURN TO PRESENT
Stopping behind a white Tesla with the registration no. "AG16", Peter looks shocked.
PETER (V.O.): For decades, my brother-in-law drove Volvos bearing the registration no. When his Dad passed away, he couldn't succeed the registration no.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Anyhow, he has an alternative car registration no. of "16".
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): About such lucky car registration nos., I bid two in a public auction. Later, I instructed my wife to bid another two.
Smiling.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): My former colleagues believed I was lucky to have them on my cars.
EXT. CAR PARK - 16:00
Driving his red S13, Peter sees a head-turning KID and overhears his remarks to his MUM: A sports car!
PETER (V.O.): Getting older doesn't mean getting out of style.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Every time after I've parked it, I'd turn around to look at it as I walk away.
Recalling.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I drove my new-born elder son home with it.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): It's my love story.
Act 3
EXT. ROADS TO TOWN - 18:00
Peter is driving his 1995 Eunos 30X.
PETER (V.O.): The cars I drive say a lot about me.
On the fast lane.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I got the cars I love. They were my dreams.
On the slow lane.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): My cars are old now, but I still love them.
