I've been in Nanjing China for about 4 days now, and just thought to ask if anyone from the club is over here...I leave for Shanghai on Friday, and then back to Tokyo on Sat..then home. (Thank God!)

There are a BILLION VW 'Santana's (Jetta) but I doubt I'll see a teener. The way people drive over here is something to behold. I've seen 2 Mercedes, 2 BMWs, and 3 Audis...the rest are a VW of some kind. 0 Porsches...I can't imagine anyone in these areas owning one.

Just checkin...

My family has an apartment in Shanghai. It is the by far and away the most cosmopolitan city in China. You won't see any imported old cars in China as I understand there are restrictions on importing old vehicles but in Shanghai you will see plenty of expensive new imports: Ferrari, Hummers, Rolls etc..

Shanghai air isn't great but it is coastal so there are some very clear days. For bad air quality I urge you to visit Wuhan. It's a automotive & steel city located between Chongqing and Shanghai and on a bad day the air goes yellow - like sulphur. I ended up with a cold and a respitory infection after only a one day visit. Nice. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Keep your eyes peeled for the real local automotive talent: A "Red Flag". China's 100% homegrown automobile. The old Limos are increasingly rare and it wasn't so long ago (20 years) that they were one of the few cars on the road.
