Cruising in Taipei

I thought I'd show a small clip of a nice veilside RX7 I think it was the same car the Han was driving in Tokyo Drift.

Yep my wife and kids wasn't home so I was on holiday

and I was trying out my new Sony Vivaz cell phone

I didn't spot any AMGs when I was there over Thanksgiving. Spotted a Lambo on the streets and at the Westin (I said Hyatt in another thread which is incorrect) where we were staying on Nanjiang Rd.

LOL, "Toyko Drift in Taiwan."

+1

Though I did have to watch for the e39 520is and the odd w210 e200s on the second highway when I used to live there years ago.

Neither were worse than the speed cameras hidden under burlap bags on highway 8 though. That one took me three tickets before I found out where they hid it.

As for turns, I miss the ability to turn anywhere anytime too.

But in Taiwan (or at least taipei) you need to lookout for all the scooters around to protect your car lol
