The Taipei Car Show 2: Aston Martin

Aston Martin created quite a media stir in Taiwan recently by opening its first store in the country. It's on Taipei's Zhongcheng Road, next to the huge BMW dealership across the road from the new Sogo Tienmu. The store has windows which let you see only the cars, not the feet or heads of its customers.

Anyway, Taiwanese wanting to drive like James Bond should be happy. There were three models on show today: the DBS in the picture, a DB9 and a Vantage.

The Taipei Car Show 1: Bentley

Took a couple of pictures at the Taipei Car or Motor Show this morning, so since I've got nowhere to post them, I just thought about dumping them here.
The pictures are nothing special, but the cars are great. This one is the new Bentley Continental Super Sports. Apart from its high price and high speed, it's also known for being environmentally friendly: its fuel is any mixture of gasoline and ethanol. You decide how much of which fuel you put in the tank, though I'd be hard-pressed to know where in Taiwan you could find ethanol. Anyway, a great car, one I would want to see James Bond drive in one of his next movies. Note also the Aston Martins in the background.
