A wondrous white BMW M3 with an ultra cool 京Y·YM399 license plate, matching the car’s type. The speedy Bimmer is further dressed up with darkened windows, black window frames, and a set of big black wheels. A very nice package indeed.

All red cars look like a Ferrari. Case in point: this Volvo C70 coupe that I saw in Beijing in 2010. The C70 is one of the best looking cars ever, period. And in red it is just brilliant.
A man in a white hat approaching me on a summer’s day on a road in old central Beijing sometime in 2010. He came with the sun! He was related to the woman sitting on the horse cart on the other side, and curious why I was curious about them. In the process, I took one of my best pictures ever. Thank you, man in white hat. It was just that one moment in time. Continue reading “A Man With A White Hat In Beijing”
A very nice Plymouth Sundance, seen back in the great autumn of 2012 in Beijing. The vehicle seemed in fine condition, painted in white with a red brown stripe over the sides. Note the odd placement of the antenna.
