How to get nine motorized tricycles from the factory to the shop? Truck? Too expensive! In China, there is always a cheaper way; just pull ‘em with a minivan, those tricycles got wheels you know. Seen in the great city of Binzhou in Shandong Province, reminding us of this. Via: MOP.

Published on August 25, 2012 by Tycho de Feyter
Here we have a very pimped purple Honda Accord, seen in my very own street in the capital Beijing. The Honda stands on lowered suspension, has a full-fat body kit, big wheels and fast alloys! This is how all Honda’s should be… The fifth-generation Honda Accord was made from 1993 until 1997, is was never officially exported to China and neither was is made in China, so this is a special little Honda on all (ac) counts.

A baby blue BMW 3-series Coupe seen in front of a Mini dealer in downtown Beijing. The blue is wrapped and does the gray Beijing sky a fine favor. The 3-Coupe is imported into China unlike the BMW 3Li sedan that is made in China by the BMW-Brilliance joint venture. Price for the Coupe starts at 428.000 yuan and ends at almost 1 million for the maniac M3.

A very coolio Infiniti FX45, seen on a parking lot near a McDonalds that sits on the first floor of a shopping mall in Beijing. The mighty V8 powered FX45 loox very good wrapped in matte-black, the wrap goes all da way until the bumpers and the mirrors. This i like. I don’t like the rather boring standard alloys. Should be either shiny or black too!

A basterd Nissan GT-R blocking the bicycle lane in my very own street in Beijing. Bu hao! The GT-R has no license plates which means it isn’t legally insured. Idea… The GT-R was parked only one hundred meters away from the location where I earlier found a BMW blocking my bicycle way.

The Sanhe Classic Car Museum in Chengdu, an Introduction
Published on August 21, 2012 by Tycho de Feyter
Last week I was a couple of days in the great city of Chengdu in Sichuan Province. Very busy with such and such but I managed to sneak out for a few hours for a visit to the fantastic Sanhe Classic Car Museum. The ‘Sanhe Group‘ is a major car dealer in Chengdu, selling, among others, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Rolls-Rolls. The group also has a small department which ‘rebuilds’ classic cars and that is what the museum is all about. Beautiful old cars, restored to the absolute max…
