Our German visitor kept egging the driver on to go faster on our way to Beijing airport because the entire highway was empty (very few cars in China in the early 90s). Our 10th gen. Toyota Crown did it effortlessly. We also imported a 2nd gen. Ford TX5 from Taiwan (physically incapable of 120 MPH), which I think must have been the only one in China since it was a five year old car at that point. We were allocated black plates for two cars but really only needed one, so we sent an old car about to be replaced just so we don't have to return the plates.<br /><br />There were no concerns about getting caught because the only form of traffic law enforcement was concrete statues painted to look like 8 foot tall traffic police in the divider. Good times.<br /><br />(edit: typos)Saxphilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746509306373180790noreply@blogger.com
