I'd love to have a truck with drop sides like that. All of the Chinese trucks you've shown us look really good!

And speaking of LPG-ing a motorcycle, it's been done (and apparently no one was blown up... yet).
http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg137...pg&res=landing   And a commercially available kit apparently: http://www.gastechproducts.com/gasconverter.html And little bit from Russia with... http://kickstarter.org/forum/index.php?topic=916.0 I think the biggest challenge with a Chinese bike would be how to warm the vaporizer, because usually it's tapped into the coolant flow. That's why you should not start LPG-converted engine on LPG, especially in winter  With diesel engines you can't go wrong, though

My biggest concern with Chinese cars is the quality of the steel and structural integrity.
They don't crash well...

I remember that. That was around the time that Ford bought shares in Mazda, and they had a joint venture with Nissan. That was the beginning of some strange times.

Chinese firms prefer using their own vehicle in overseas , so there's interesting photos from the "crew"

Wasn't that the marketing strategy behind the Pinto?
