Here we have an Audi A4 Cabriolet 3.0, seen in the northeast of the Chinese capital Beijing. The drop-top Audi was in good shape, with a clean body and no signs of rust or rot.

Here we have a Li L8, seen in the Chinese capital Beijing. The L8 is the second-largest Li SUV and it is an impressive machine. It looks luxurious, high-tech, and huge. Even so, it is pretty slippery with a drag coefficient of only 0.297 Cd. Li likes factual color names, not the poetic stuff that other car makers do. The L8 that I saw is painted in a color simply called ‘Gold’.

This is one of my first real automotive spots in China: a beautiful blue Jiefang CA1o water-spraying truck. I saw it at the old Worker’s Stadium in Beijing in the summer of 2003. I arrived in China in the spring, found myself an apartment, and from then on, I was outside for 90% of my time, discovering cool stuff.

Here we have an Audi A8L Horch, as seen in an Audi dealer in China. The enormous German limousine looked mightily impressive. The Horch comes with loads of extra bling in the grille and bumper, shiny forged pothole rims, and darkened windows. The Horch was displayed right below an equally enormous light unit, taking center stage in the dealer’s building.

A massive Norinco VP11 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle, as seen on a police equipment show in Beijing in 2012. The huge machine was parked in a tiny booth in the exhibition hall, there was barely enough space to walk around it.
