Tokyo Drift comes to mind.

That's Hong Kong! Probably hit a slow moving tram or maybe just a taxi (there are enough of them). I doubt the car would be without insurance - traffic is so bad in HK, you just wouldn't take the risk of driving uninsured.

LoL, nice pickup. How did you know it was Hong Kong ??

I didn't take notice until you mentioned it. HK traffic is busy but not as bad as mainland China. It is crazy there.

The hills, the buildings, the Taxis, the double decker bus, the Police with english "Police" on their jackets. And I think I can see Jackie Chan hiding behind the bushes.

Yep - 2.5 years as a young teenager (back in the early 80's!!), and 12 months or so in 99/2000. That looks like Central bus terminus in the background, but it could be anywhere in HK - a lot of it looks them same (large apartment buildings etc).

could you imagine what would happen if the bloke that built the car saw this, I think he'd track the owner down and punch him in the head at least. All the effort down the drain in a few seconds
