I saw quite a few of these while I was on assignment in China. As they broke, the industrious folks fitted a variety of axles, wheels, cabs, etc....so very cool. I'd wanted to buy one, but was politely told that I didn't know enough Chinese to get out of trouble if I drove it in a nice neighborhood. What interesting conveyances have you come across in your travels?

Jeepneys are the best thing ever, especially considering their history.
