have been on the road way to much lately,
but here are a few tid bits:
get a little out of the bigger centers in mainland China, and these are the work horses..
you still see some of these, but 20 years ago when I was in China, they were everywhere:
the below was in shenzhen... seems there is no end of cool cars and money...
Bently's are like Subarus, right? always try to park beside one..
this MONSTER was parked outside my hotel... its even bigger in real life...
I dont know the make, it was still parked there in the am, , the two licence plates are for Hong Kong and China,,
If I had to have a minivan, Im thinking it would be one of these, Ive only seen them in RHD,, its a toyota called an ALPHARD and some of the trim levels are SUPER nice, Ive ridden in quite a few and they seem to have pretty good power too. I've also seen them labeled as VELLFIRE.. that's actually a kinda cool name.. for a minvan
and if your going to do soccer runs, your going to need the BIG dinner plates all around and 6 pot brembos up front.... "Honey, you know that down hill left hand turn on the way to soccer practice?, I was a little concerned you might over heat the brakes, so I just did a small upgrade to the minivan's brakes"... I took a close look they were real.. and brembos on the rears too.
oh and I like the cabs in Hong Kong too:
real honest cars, I hope its a straight six in these.. cause I would like one of these too
(Toyota Crown, "comfort cab") they just look "right" in a Datsun 510 kinda way...
that's if for now, exit HK tomorrow.
