I bet those things burn a lot of oil and hit false nuetrals hahahaha

 

[stumbows]

Kinda looks like a Suzuki Liana to me or a little Hyundai or something.

 

[Flarry]

Ahahaha, I wouldnt go near it but I think theres worse cars in china.

I'd want to be driving somthing safe aswell, 700 people die on the roads in china every DAY.

I know it's hectic i have a video of an intersection in india which has a similar road system and it was one of the scariest things to watch. They don't follow road rules and they don't have lights they just go when they can and often they get caught out.

Hey did any one notice this has a top speed of 145km/h... Pretty crap for a 1.6 ltr.

Today i walked out of front of the office where i work and there was a Toyota Echo parked and OMG it looked so much like the Lifan 520 from the side it was freaky.

I have had the "pleasure" of working on a car made in India and I can tell you that it was the biggest piece of crap on the road and it was nearly brand new.

 

[Azza 124]
