That's a rip of an HPI B5. They're 1/5th scale radio controlled cars. As part of their marketing campaign they drove one across a desert (can't remember which one but it was a pretty mean feat for something of it's size). Loads of fun either way

So many nice and expensive European cars and Jap performance

I travel to northern china atleast twice a year and always see wrx's,
STi's, Evhoes, Ferraris, Lambo's, Porkas, bentley's, Hummers,Alfa's
etc etc and have only seen a few with nothing more outrages than crappy
stickers on them.

There is how ever the VW Polo and Golf racers everywhere and evo
bodykitted Lioncel (Chinese Lancer) taxi's which are pretty common.

The worst place I've seen mods and bodykits go wrong is in Malaysia
where every Proton Wira etc has evo, wrx, supra and every other kind
of cars bodykits on them trying not to look like a Proton.

Pretty funny what they can come up with.

I will take pics next trip so I can add to this thread.

There were shit loads of new Audi's, Mercs, Rovers, Ceyane's, Foz GT's & I saw a couple of Hummers too but only took pics of the good (bad) stuff but yeah I'm sure the big city's are where the money is but I'd rather stay away from the bigger places like Beijing as they are too commercialised for my liking..........HuNan/Changsha was the perfect size and not once did I get ripped off or see any form of vandalism/violence, also being on my own I felt completely safe no matter what time of day or night and it was as cheap as chips.

And anyone want to explain why the white Mazda 3 has a TRD Racing sticker on it? & the Suzuki mini 4wd has a Citrogen sticker? Identity crisis much?

Not too sure what it was but did you notice the front roof spoiler & the hole cut in the tint so you could actually see the mirrors
