Red tricycle thinks it is a BMW in China
Published on June 19, 2013 by Tycho de Feyter
Here we have a red tricycle, seen in the suburbs of the great city of Shenzhen in Guangzhou Province, thinking it is a BMW. But it isn’t. This indeed is a Feilu Junma FLA1 tricycle. Feilu Junma means ‘Thunder Road Steed’, and that is a very good name for any car but especially for a tricycle.
However, he who slapped the fake BMW badge on the bonnet is not a complete fraud. The character ‘ma’ of Junma is the same as the character ‘ma’ of Baoma, meaning Treasure Horse, which is the Chinese name of BMW.

The first spy shots showing the Chery A4 will be called Chery Arrizo 7 when it hits the Chinese car market late this year. The Chery A4/Arrizo 7 was expected to debut on the Shanghai Auto Show last month but didn’t show, instead Chery showed the Alpha 7 concept previewing the new car.
We are Moving

Hello Readers,
we are moving to a new location in Beijing. A clean and green(er) place a bit further from downtown but very close to many massive car markets, weird museums, and what’s more pretty. Setting everything up will take a few days, we hope to be back and running on Tuesday.

Mini driver is an Asshole in China
Published on June 12, 2013 by Tycho de Feyter
A Mini One assholing on two parking lots, 112 & 111, in a faraway suburb of Beijing. Bad Mini. I should have crushed that little car with one haul of my mighty Beijing-Jeep Cherokee! But I parked somewhere else instead. The Mini is in good asshole-parking company with Audi, BMW, and Nissan.
Mercedes W220 S600 is a Low Rider in China
Published on June 12, 2013 by Tycho de Feyter
A very lowriding Mercedes-Benz W220 S600, seen in the great city of Xiamen in Fujian Province by reader Pinut187, thank you for the pictures! The good limousine has been lowered by at least ten centimeters and almost eats the ground. Sadly, Pinut187 tells us the vehicle’s brake pads were rusty and rotten, indicating this great Benz didn’t make a ride for quite a while.
A pretty Chinese Girl at the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao International Auto Show
Published on June 11, 2013 by Joey Wang
Here we have a very pretty Chinese girl working for Renault at the annual Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao International Auto Show in Shenzhen in Guangdong Province, a rather local show deep down south without any significant auto news.
Furthermore, the organizers saw it fit to organize the show in a major Chinese holiday when most of the population is at home with the family watching TV, further diminishing attention. Anyway and how, babe’s beautiful big headlights (after market?) more than make up for the lack of a new BYD.

Published on June 11, 2013 by Joey Wang
A yelicious yellow Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, seen in the great city of Chengdu in Sichuan Province, standing half over a zebra crossing, with the pedestrian traffic light on red, so waddis it doing there? Vying for attention, we guess, which won’t be hard with a light-matte yellow wrap, black windows, a black grille, black mirrors and fatass black alloys.

Published on June 11, 2013 by Tycho de Feyter
A very sleek Cadillac CTS, seen in the great city of Yinchuan in Ningxia Province. The good vehicle is wrapped in Pink with a black bonnet, roof, mirrors, door handles and alloys. A great combination of colors on a great Cadillac, and… our very first spot from Yinchuan!
The Cadillac CTS is imported into China, price starts at 448.000 yuan or 73.000 USD for the 3.0 V6. Pink ‘n black wrap of this quality will costs another 10.000. No matter price, the CTS is rather popular in China. Earlier on we met a mad one, a kitch car, and the official V-Day.
An impressive supercar line-up in Chengdu, China
Published on June 10, 2013 by Joey Wang
A very impressive supercar line-up, seen in the great city of Chengdu in Sichuan Province. From left to right: a yellow Ferrari 458 Spider, an orange Lamborghini Aventador, a Bling Audi R8, a red Audi R8, a white Dodge Viper, a Rolls-Royce Ghost and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. The Viper is the most amazing car here because it has never been officially exported to China, and this is the very first we see in the country.

Published on June 7, 2013 by Joey Wang
Been raining the whole day in Beijing, we need us a lotta Bling! Fortunately we have. This is a BMW 650i Convertible wrapped in very shiny gold, seen in the great city of Shenzhen in Guangdong Province. If it was only over here the Capital would bask in Blinglight until late tomorrow.
